What we could live in the one with the lights. Drunks against the. City already millions of years ago by someone very small. Changes that will soon be. Insects. With about 6000000. 00 species of the most successful creatures on. They make up 90 percent of the animals on our planet. They are specialists with super power so. We can learn a little. You just have to look very closely. Its Early Morning in the mountains near a panic in Southern France in something i dont want is the best time to catch insects and later in the day gets to fox may hide from the suckers just. This push us to talk hosts try. The german insect or sacha im dressed coach in skirts these french califano i still dont know how to. Professor on drasko chance is one of the worlds leading insects biotechnology. Particularly interested in. Because they are very now playing music. Which is cast wants to discover major things. And use them for the development of new drugs. Hes looking specifically at the asian lady. On the phone about sort this the best unconvinced that nature has already done that is the best and help one sounds at the question is how do we do that so we need clever ideas these are example and we can now it is here until i like each other and well you know why the album has a legacy behind it isnt it on your must this pathogens absolutely its not an admission this much of it must have that at the fence make knowledge of actual compounds that we can do a lot of money blocks of you know maybe comment that invigorate. The moon in. The area around the many ways in which it is 6 local varieties of ladybirds interbreed with an alien species and species spread especially the biological. When it becomes too hot to hunting insects but if scientists return to the lab to analyze they catch. On a mystery is an incentive to an existence he travels around the world including before. I know him a d. N. A. He can determine how they have spread over time. These findings are important but im grace Coaching Staff and the service for new drugs. On the one of the uk. Im only up and. The asian lady that was introduced to europe in america has a form of biological pest control b. S. Has to fight atheists because an asian lady bird eats a few 1000 of them generate its lifetime. The green arrows show where and when the insect was artificially introduced a pest control. But in nearly 2000 something unexpected happened. The asian lady began to spread uncontrollably and displace native species. To survive plots lose their southerly propagation of a bite and we like to know that what is not is this suddenly world wide spread that was what i needed it for did that but also lets see what ratio i get off to thats what we want to find out if we end up with an issue thats missed money mckeon. Addressed coaching scouts will take some lady bows to germany one likes them. Tufts University Boston usa. The socalled silk lab hes one of the universitys more exotic research departments. Here everything revolves around silk and around los producing this fascinating material silk. Kiran so common that joins a Tufts University 2005. Began to get interested in simplicity. And started to see silkworms in a totally light. Its Pretty Amazing actually because if you if you take a look at it. You can actually see the see the seltzer and so right now its right this been. This is a 3 d. Printer that this material that is there comes out of it has out of out of here as a 3rd of a tensile strength as deal and that is beautiful. And that it is a professor of biomedical engineering. Hes interested in the properties of the material silkworms produce. He believes that cells can help protect the environment sulfide plaster waste. And im sorry that city could soon replace many other material. Silkworms produce about one kilometer ascent to build i could see humans have used silk fibers for thousands of years to produce textiles. But now the boston researches have succeeded in transforming silk into a new material with breath. Thinking of it its a case. Of this the silk needs to be transformed back into a liquid similar to the fluid taken 6 produces before spencer struck. First the research is coming up the could do so for now could. Extract the silk proteins of the course of several days. And so now its proven impossible to artificially manufacture the substance of the insect produce its in its glass. Its a mixture of silk find a decent cool sanderson and more so. When the symptom spins its trunk it removes the water from simply to the fibers and servicing to get it from light extremely strong. In a certain sense you go back to what the what the silkworm does so and so you take you take the native fibers and you bring them back to a liquid suspension of of silk fibroid protein and water and then and then depending on how the water evaporates or how you remove the water how quickly how slowly and under what conditions and what temperatures you get different material outcomes and so and so the material came together in very very amazing technological form and so you think about a lot of things and you try to connect them and i think thats the beauty of the beauty of working in this and this domain. Similar to plastic liquid silicon can be shaped into lumps of different phone use. The 1st research is trying to spin a simple friday just like this so. The threat is carefully extracted from a drop wound on to a real. Doctor keeps on. Someone just the same do differently. To lose from. The train to search is on the way to work by bicycle. She doesnt own a gun she doesnt even have a driving license and yet shes very much interested in traffic the the special kind of traffic. Ringback ringback outrageous or to start is the behavior of. Seriously just thinks of these. And never come up against the truck. With a light under a monster who saw traffic. On the inside some ideal Research Objects because they have particularly sophisticated logistics. They can see. That they have kids sense of smell. And smog their trails whats. Different and discovers food good runs back to the next to get reinforcements and in doing so your mom says find the other small of this trial and also among the man. The answer the phone the shortest the fastest that pakistan for market more frequently after a short while it smells most of. This route. A simple yet brilliant way to solve for the just tickle problem but how failsafe is it. Outrageous to talk once to put the little transport geniuses to a test. Where at the university of geese in germany. In the universities greenhouse and driest their chips cost breeds ladybirds. One thing you can attempt at 300. 00 fitz. This is why the centuries. Considered the blockade. Of luck at sea for me for instance they attacked everything out of. Their appetite is insatiable. This is especially true of the view of the nation. And it displaces every species well jack but why. In the barn 300 s. Coaching staff and his team preparing experiments. They put an on to bigger law of a european made goods together with the young small amount of plantations negative. The result is what researchers have expected. The people who eats the small. Event if something happens. Long term to be sticks to find the from him other biggest enemies inflated herds are other lady birds who is aware of the larger offer by of the final exit or smaller larva theyll leave them out and either in a service that will never heard in the birds in action ladybirds they dive off listening but neither the other way around or does out that nothing happens often although the idea that i not miss off was plus the next. Apparently the dog of the asian lady bird has a powerful bio weapon kills anyone that tries to be to. Dress poaching skirts examines the blood and the so called human of the insects its full of microscopic parasites. The small just the shell which was about lost i would respond to sell and i couldnt believe my honesty i was so surprised often. Ive been researching insects and their immune systems for 20 years ive investigated thousands of insects on hooks for never seen anything like those just and ive only seen those images like flames and thats actually i will jet and follow the path and your loss and you feel ive never seen this on the fly on animal doesnt fly the story proves it wasnt so awful. The asian made it must have an extremely powerful immune system. But how it does its things may consume. The Tufts University in boston the scientists that managed to extract the silks right from the trunk. The secret is finding the right level of passion to see its going to be a way to maybe build. A little he knew the name of a micro manage him. Now they are able to spin a continuous strong pressure from liquid fights. But a few doors further down theyre already working on the next exciting complication is a bit of the end the inside of the inside prosody the at. Least 3 d. Printer is programmed to produce an artificial from liquid so. If youve got to juice the human body just checked the organic. Mixture and the printer is designed to do so foster a few months. To go to his cup of soup scott putting bugs created to keep his from opening into the other end i knew from the green body and after that will center and thats when it really gets the factory was great. Its a beautiful process the transition from a liquid suspension to to a solid format of material but the pragmatics are that our ball means our organs are very small to scale complex organisms and so and so out of that wide array of possibilities you need to match something at all sky. Order for it to integrate as if it were a part of the living system that is a very significant challenge so is it going to be a reality. Probably is it going to be hard absolutely. The implant only exists in the lab. But the research is a time sooner versus we have achieved a breakthrough. They have proven that in principle soft snow can be transformed into hot about. Interviews today just want to put a run through just because scales to the text 1st she prepares a special meal for the red liquid contains 30 percent sugar but the greek police 0 point one percent the insects are offered both food sources at the same time on identical tables the pass to the food sources are also of the same length so this time the ansto have to find the shortest why but discover the best food source. First the armscye get to explore the new structure. They quickly discover the 2 bridges on the dishes with 2 different sugars so. Theres a lot of traffic on the bridges but after not being pulled the string for a concentrated ridge solution. Is virtually certain to. Secure into those tunnels just to stand the interesting thing that is the state with city of the system. And absolutely have to compare the fates of residents affect all the kind of the root of the more intensely they mark the path that doesnt add to climbing up the field and just leave it out as far as the end of one of us reaches there is food if you dont really get quality that doesnt leave us in that bubble that long its simply follows the strongest thereabout introduced to show the system its a really simple song like he did according to. The quality of the film has led to some lighting fewer fairly apol its a system thats very easy to communicate and has also been calling a simple i took up to. Be at scale same system is a particular interest to logistics engineers. The engineers are from the constituent serial number just 6 and dont major event this morning with some government translator oh good lets toss in the transporter still good luck with. The robots because the compound. Was under nomic foursomes not if you think about dynamics of the towers where the fast changing conditions for example enter shall try to come or sizes and then storms are superior when those there are 2 it lands its a lot of consequence our aunt said im not friends im ever not just for the regular quite like john amicably respond to childish love again all for. The boss after effects but the song take took its place its a competitive system they need to bid for every jump. The 1st machine signals its a close call the 2nd one has a full of patrick but the 3rd one may get the job because you can carry you along the way. However this sometimes leads to strange she says the system looks just like ants robots from the train the other guy. But these are marked with wife i see said if you found slayer. However at the robots encounter an obstacle in the right place. For security reasons to stop immediately when something blocks that one of. The small amounts look around the cranes cover. Market on. The robot however needs a little help. The asian lady betting geese it still hasnt revealed the secret of its powerful immune system but the scientists are close to solving the riddle. They want to infect the beetle with particularly aggressive germs to do so they fix it under the microscope. They suspect that the beatles blood its hema lymph contains effective substances against multidrug resistant bacteria socalled superbugs. Ladybirds immune system immediately reacts to the. Discharges small molecules which attack the intruder is rendered this. These molecules have huge potential for the development of. What is the exact nature of these substances 1st the researches must obtain a small amount of the ladybirds blood however they dont need to prod it with a needle its enough to briefly shake it as a defense reaction the beetle releases small amounts of its bitter tasting heman them and with it tiny quantities of the unknown germ cutting substances. While the ladybird recovers from its White Knuckle ride the scientists prepare the mass spectrometer in the universe to slap. This machine is the sharpest tool in that box on. This bomb bomb. Bomb bomb bomb proof ness is one that was a shock to us as pure savvy a certain way they knew all of us that we didnt tell before before have not reached america but this is one side and as far as and they can its good not just like astronomers learning into the sky when tail storms you know copeland and i understand what i mean is this one is in a lot of small to get a small Little Champions even in the climate that has the astronomers and they also if they see corral are so normal oriented and will go for certain buttons on point were going to the microcosm balance namely call possible things like where are all those use of a substance in the sand to help and weve noticed that most of the benefit of humanity its been rough. Back at Tufts University silk lab in boston. The silk worms only need one thing to grow and produce their miracle material. For 4 weeks they chomp their way through the foliage increasing their original body weight 10000 fold. The fact that the research is a found a way to make simply quit again has opened up completely new possibilities. For likud lice material can be easily combined with medicines and shaped into new forms. The researches of discovered the drugs integrated into the silk structure state active for longer. This opens up new possibilities for transporting and storing vaccines for example without having to worry about refrigeration. And since silk becomes hot unstable when dry does this the bapi cations seems endless. Speculating about the future there is a medical side that is really predicated on the fact that you have a material that interfaces well with living tissue but beyond the medical you know if you really think. Same forward youll have you can eat some seed sensors and they will communicate and tell you how you are you know tell you something about your food whether their food is good or not whether its time to sew it away whether youre healthy. And its not only about self i think its going to be about a general platform based on naturally derived material you may have a phone that you can plant in your garden when youre done using using it or not. So one to still could become an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic and thats how some waste. The Natural History museum accounts were just an unusual meeting takes place the architect of the link has come to see the insect researcher thomas not because. Hes interested in sex but many consider. Which in the bug. Theyre interested in the colorado potato beetle and wouldnt. Actually mangas is a professor of architecture and computer aided design at the university took us in germany. By studying insects he wants to discover a new Design Principles to create innovative structures. Thomas fi of the colorado potato beetle because it can cause serious crop damage. It also has a very hard shell. Its striking yellow and black when cases protect the sensitive hind legs which it uses to find. The wing cases must be both tough and light otherwise the beetle couldnt fly the architect is interested in the structure of these cases. Theyre not often one for guns on the in nature we find totally different construction pressures to destroy those found in the history of engine or occasional or for a conjecture. This allows us to think outside the box and outside fix the category and question the way we look at things consequence of the clock as a stand where you discover noise principles rest and go beyond what you already know this will be. In order to uncover the secrets of the beatles wings the 2 scientists take the insects to the institute of technology cultural. Institute has a gigantic particle accelerator that produces extremely precise x. Ray radiation. The scientists want to use it and analyze the beatles when strange. This is the speciality insect exposed Thomas Monica 2 2. The x. Ray images shows the case of the potato beetle consists of 2 separate shells. That is hollow in such. An under 3. An extremely lightweight structure that cutting its mark the binds over that it was all conservative and is a sword small columns connect the upper and lower house of the way up a shoddy between themselves and a large cavity ascends can all of us business design less than to see it as the bright spots will show the places where the 2 shells are connected. To one of them on my skin. And its on the seen on those also. The one case of the potato beetle consists of closely into one of them find. The architect is especially interested in the columns between the 2 shops which of poems by pick bundles of mine. To transfer the forces between the up one on the lower shelf. From these columns the find the spread out in many Different Directions this network of mine makes the structure of our lives at stake. I think a symptom of mine and i think there are the one ahead we marvel at what nature is for you that some of the other hand will wonder why this idea has evolved as an engineering swore an oath to tell and thirdly we realize that this is this is about evolution that we can call the relatively easily and methods on this its this on this is what makes it so exciting would absorb it all just lots of them so fond. Of him angus wants to use the beetle wings designed as the basis for a new structure. Just like the wing case
