Science or Fiction (1:24:50)
Item #1: A new CT scanning technology uses the low end of the gamma ray spectrum, rather than X-rays, to form images with over 10 times the resolution.[5]
Item #2: Engineers have made a robot that can morph from one shape to another through liquid metal yet hold either shape with a rigid structure.[6]
Item #3: Scientists have discovered the first known metal alloy that does not soften as it is heated through a wide temperature range, above 1,000K.[7]
