From carbon nanotubes to artificial skin, our world is poised at the frontier of a revolution in<br />

materials science as far-reaching as the biotech breakthroughs of the last two decades. This<br />

four-part series explores how materials changed history and are shaping the future, ranging<br />

from cost-effective fuel cells and solar panels to quantum computers and ultra-light automobiles.<br />

The New York Times' technology correspondent and best-selling author David Pogue brings his<br />

trademark goofball humor and techie zeal to this fast-paced exploration of the future of "stuff." In<br />

each one-hour program-Stronger, Smaller, Smarter, and Cleaner-we explore the talent, luck,<br />

and determination that can turn a wild idea into a cutting-edge material or high-tech<br />

breakthrough.<br />
