In this week’s show: We'll take a look at some of the most ingenious research and product development news from 2007. These projects illustrate that science and engineering doesn't always have to be disruptive and evolutionary; some of the best ideas result in small, incremental improvements to everyday living. News of the Week - Electric cars and motorcycles powered by batteries made from nanomaterials are burning up the track and setting world records. Time: 54 min.
Join Marlene Bourne each week as she explores the latest in nanotechnology, MEMS and more. Find out what these technologies are, how they work, why they’re making a difference, and what that means to you.
The Bourne Report airs live Sunday afternoons on Independent 1310 KXAM in Phoenix. Each show is posted to the web Sunday evenings.
