It's science,

science, but not as you know it.

The Naked Scientists.

Hello, welcome to this week's edition of the Naked Scientists with me, Chris Smith,

and also with Helen Scales, who's here this week? Hi Helen. Hello!

Now coming up in this week's edition of the Naked Scientists, how researchers have

used nanotechnology to build better batteries

and these are batteries that are going to last 10 times longer than those which were

using to power iPods and laptops and things. Also why when things get more expensive

you like them more which is good news where my wife's

concerned and also how squirrels are faking it with their nuts that is they're not always

burying them where you think they are that's all on the way Helen.

Thanks Chris also Also this week

we're looking at the problem of climate change but there's a twist rather than

talking about the problem we're going to look at possible solutions including

locking carbon dioxide away underground in coal seams

fertilizing the sea to boost the growth of marine plants and turning carbon dioxide into stone

by pumping it into old lava flows, but will these strategies work?

Or will they bring with them a whole host of other ecological problems?

Plus, we'll be grappling with this weighty question concerning fat and thin cyclists.

All other things being equal, who goes downhill faster?

A fat bicyclist or a skinny bicyclist.
