What benefits will emerge from molecular research in the coming years? Use this program to explore the boundaries of the “nanocosm” and discover chemistry’s seemingly endless possibilities. Viewers are introduced to a wide variety of developments, including SAM polymers, textile fibers with built-in antimicrobial functions; SPS ship construction, which creates a highly durable elastic hull layer; and OLED technology, which will lead to TV screens so flexible they can be rolled into a tube. The program concludes by emphasizing the importance of “green” genetic engineering and the need for chemists to exercise global awareness. (30 minutes)
