Super Skyscrapers by PBS A new generation of skyscrapers is rising above our cities - Superskyscrapers. With less space in urban areas we are building higher and faster than ever before. But for these skyscrapers it's not just building big that counts- it's thinking big. These skyscrapers are pushing the limits of engineering, technology and design to become greener, stronger, smarter and more luxurious than their predecessors. All are destined to become the celebrity giants of the future. This 4-part series follows the creation of four extraordinary skyscrapers showcasing how they will revolutionize the way we live, work and how we protect ourselves from potential threats, both from the environment and terrorist attacks. Each episode follows the rise of an individual skyscraper and their pursuit to be the very pinnacle in security, design, opulence and height. Their ambitions are great, but the risks are even greater- girder sized nerves of steel are required to turn these dreams into reality and it's the high stakes at play that set these giants apart from any other high-rise. Filmed over the course of a year, each episode follows the rise of a single skyscraper during a crucial timeframe in their construction period. With unprecedented access to the build process, Superskyscrapers goes behind the scenes of construction to show these iconic landmarks in the making. A host of architects, designers and engineers reveal the over-riding ambitions of each building and the colossal challenges that lie on the journey from conception to completion

Making Stuff, Season 2 by NOVA elf-driving cars. Bomb-sniffing plants. Swarms of flying robots. A machine that can see through lead. Civilization was built on the human ability to invent-to create new materials and technologies from the raw materials of the earth. So how are the fields of engineering and materials science going to shape our future? Popular technology columnist and best-selling author David Pogue returns to guide viewers through a new generation of cutting-edge materials that is powering the next wave of scientific and technological innovation in this spectacular four-part continuation of the NOVA series Making Stuff. With his zany humor and zest for discovery, Pogue meets the scientists and engineers who are plunging to the bottom of the temperature scale, finding design inspiration in nature, and breaking every speed limit to make a new generation of "stuff" that is colder, faster, safer, and wilder than anything we've ever seen or experienced.
