0:00.0 | Time for another episode of Curiosity Daily from Discovery, the place where you get |
0:08.0 | smarter in just a few minutes. My name is Nate. Thanks so much for |
0:11.8 | joining us here today at Curiosity. I'm |
0:13.7 | Cali. Today you'll learn about an AI designed window film that could keep your |
0:18.0 | house cool. The mysterious ways Mars causes deep sea erosion on Earth and how playing the |
0:24.3 | didgeridoo could help treat sleep apnea. |
0:27.3 | All right, let's satisfy some curiosity. |
0:29.6 | Imagine a building with no windows. It's just a block with a door in front. |
0:35.0 | Yeah, that's not exactly a building I'd want to go into. I mean, it's dark, it's musty, and I'm just sort of imagining bright fluorescent light and stale air. |

0:59.4 | They literally open you up to the universe. But there is a downside. On a hot day they can |
1:04.8 | act like furnaces making your space just unbearably warm. Right and if you close the |
1:09.0 | blinds to cool the place down what's the point of having windows in the first |
1:12.1 | place? I mean nothing's as |
1:13.4 | depressing as a dark room on a sunny day. So this is a problem that engineers at |
1:17.8 | Notre Dame have been working on and with the help of quantum physics and |
1:21.0 | machine learning they think they've come up with a pretty high-tech solution. |
