In this clip from "SciTech Now, we discover a library that is more than just books.
Human activity has encroached on the habitat of endangered songbirds in Tacoma, Washington. Now soldiers are working with conservation biologists to share their training site with the songbirds. New York Times columnist, Claudia Dreifus, is making science more accessible by giving readers a closer look into the lives of scientists. We take a look into the invertebrates as climate change indicators. And scientists at the Pennsylvania State University Center for Quantitative Imaging are examining bones to see what they reveal.
In this clip from SciTech Now, we sit down with James Ramsey, the creator of the world’s first unground park, and discover how the use of cutting edge technology will bring sunlight underground.
In this clip from "SciTech Now" we discover the hierarchy among termites with the help of experts from the American Museum of Natural History.
In this clip from "SciTech Now," we visit The National Museum of Math and see how math can be anything, but boring.
We visit the small remote town of Thurman, New York that is completely off the grid and without wireless Internet access, but the town is developing technologies to get more connected. We talk with the founder of RockPaperRobot, Jessica Banks. The CEO and Co-Founder of the startup, Spritz illustrates just how fast we could read and Professor John Armstrong discusses the physics behind cheese making.
See how the Renaissance robots in Florida are helping surgeons and making tricky surgical procedures more feasible. Bill Nye the Science Guy stops by to share his thoughts on evolution, the importance of science in today’s world, and his new book. We learn the science behind badminton and the shuttlecock. And we see how scientists in Seattle are working to save the declining population of abalone.
In this clip from "SciTech Now" the physics of cheese is explored with professor John Armstrong.
In this clip from "SciTech Now, we take a look at the science behind brewing the perfect cup of coffee.
In this clip from SciTech Now, we examine the attributes of what makes some animals cute and others not.
We travel down 4,850 feet below ground in an abandoned gold mine in South Dakota where a team of physicists are hunting for dark matter. We uncover the depth and implications of cyber security and major data breach crises around the United States. And we see how electrodes implanted on athlete Jennifer French’s muscles are helping her compete once again and take home a silver medal from the U.S. Paralympics.
In this clip from "SciTech Now," expert on economics of digital goods and services, Arun Sundararajan, discusses how the sharing economy is changing the way we live.

Join us as we go inside Carolina State University’s insect museum and see why these specimens are so valuable. Syntactic foam is strong and buoyant material commonly used in the manufacturing of submarines. Now, a team of researchers have developed a method of 3D printing components of syntactic foam that could take submarines to greater depths. We take a look at the next generation of space telescopes with Zolt Levay of the Space Telescope Science Institute. And we see how computer simulations are helping engineers identify buildings that are at risk of collapsing during an earthquake.

In this clip from "SciTech Now," an interview with CNET Editor-At-Large Tim Stevens on the Google Lunar Xprize competition.
Lack of reliable internet access and high-tech learning tools can put low-income and rural students at a disadvantage. In order to bridge this divide, a superintendent at one of the poorest school districts in the nation created an initiative that provides students with internet and the tech tools they need. Ainissa Ramirez, author and self-proclaimed science evangelist, discusses how atoms keep time. We visit St. Petersburg College in Florida where students pursue the skills they need to land the latest jobs. And we see how an app is simplifying the process of auctioning cattle.
