Tackling Transport

from The Naked Scientists Podcast Hosted by The Naked Scientists

On this week's Naked Scientists, we explore the engineering and materials science that will give rise to the future of transport! We find out how jet engine parts grown as a single crystal of superalloy will make flights more efficient, and how clever computer control make it easier for trucks to turn.

In Kitchen Science, Ben and Dave look back over 7000 years to seek the science of the wheel... Like this podcast? Please help us by supporting the Naked Scientists
