Real—world purpose is. well, this can take any instrument — this ones for a little micro imager, so we can do any science that youre looking to do wherever you want to go. these arent the only wheels we have for our two—wheeled robots. ok, so, if consumers were to buy one of these, because that is the aim, isnt it, what exactly would they be doing with it? well, we can do citizen science, so they can take them out into the field, they can have different sensors on them and then we can get ...

Where the more you drive it, the cleaner it makes the air? well, the hyundai nexo claims to do just that. where you‘d normally have an engine, there‘s a fuel cell stack, where hydrogen and oxygen combine to create the electricity that powers the car and charges the battery. but can actually clean the air? but can it actually clean the air? well, we braved the very cold dundee air to put it to the test. so, over here we have robin hayles from hyundai. hi. hey, what‘s gonna happen? so, we‘...

Very, very slowly. so they are changing and were seeing that in scotland, because closing the gender gap is key to what were trying to achieve. but its about going into primary schools and encouraging young women and girls to think that they can actually work in this sector and work in this area and see incredible role models. now, we all know about cars and pollution, right? but how about a vehicle where the more you drive it, the cleaner it makes the air? well, the hyundai nexo claims to do ju...

It was realised by the late ‘505 that ice was semi—transparent to radio waves at certain frequencies. and what that means is if you fly a transmitter and a receiver at that frequency, this is the atmosphere and beneath it is the ice surface, which we can see is a very strong reflector. and then some of the megahertz energy from the transmitter actually penetrates through from the ice surface, through the ice itself to the rather more diffuse bed and that energy is reflected again back to the...
