This week the panel take a look at their favourites of the newer Olympic sports as Paris 2024 gets underway. Surfing will happen in Tahiti this year, but could it ever be held on Titan, in orbit around Saturn? Obviously very unlikely, but not for the reasons you might expect. No vertebrate on earth can rock-climb like a gecko. Can nanomaterials come to our aid? And Amy Pope, Principal Lecturer of Physics and Astronomy, Clemson University helps us understand the physics challenges the B-boys and girls are maybe subconsciously putting themselves through as Break Dancing makes its Olympic debut.
Also, climate change unearths some of our oldest fossils in Brazil, being scared of long words, and designing cities to be cooler.
Presented by Marnie Chesterton, with Philistiah Mwatee and Camilla Mota.
Produced by Alex Mansfield with Harrison Lewis, Dan Welsh and Noa Dowling.
