we cannot a lot of all we just have to look very closely. or. it's early morning in the mountains near the panic in southern france in some dawn is the best time to catch insects and later in the day gets to fox and they hide from the suckers just isn't. this push us to tough was trying. the german insect research a dress coach in skirts of his french colleague found no i still don't know how to .
2:18 pm
professor andress cochins is one of the world's leading insect biotechnology specialist. particularly interested in lately because they are very now playing music. which is cast once to discover the judge things secret and use them for the development of new drugs. he's looking specifically for the asian lady. on the phone about sort the stupid. unconvinced that nature has already done that is the best and dr alan saunders it's a question is how do we do that so we need clever ideas these are example and we can not say that it is here and fly like each other. but i guess if they don't see behind it is a dire must that pathogens absolute it's not a doubt it has been this much of it must have at the fence make knowledge of the actual contents that we can do a lot of money grubbers it in the middle. i meant that soon because.
2:19 pm
the area around the perrier is originally 6 loco varieties of ladybirds interbreed with alien species and species bred especially the biological the young. when it becomes too hot to hunt insects but if scientists return to the lab to analyze they catch. on a mystery is an insect geneticist he travels around the world including the. money and the d.n.a. he can determine how they have spread over time. the signs are important fundraiser coaching staff and the centers for new drugs. on the one like that ok ok. yes i'm only up and. the ancient lady that was introduced to europe in america has a form of biological pest control b.s.
2:20 pm
is to fight atheists because an asian lady bird eats a few 1000 of them jerk its lifetime. the green arrows show where and when the insect was artificially introduced a pest control. but in the early 2000 something unexpected had. the asian lady that began to spread uncontrollably and displace native species. to survive just plotz little southerly path of my life apart and we'd like to know that what is not is this suddenly world wide spread that was what enabled it for do that but also as a gracious after that is what we want to find out if we are dealt with an issue that's missed money mccleon. i'm dressed her chin skirts will take some lady bows to germany to analyze them. 6 tufts university boston usa. the so-called silk lab is one of the university's more
2:21 pm
exotic research departments. here everything revolves around smoke and around los producing most fascinating material silk. gear and so on my next joins tufts university in 2005. began to get interested in simplicity. and started to see silkworms in a totally light. it's pretty amazing actually because if you if you take a look at it. you can actually see the see the so it's red so right now it's right it's been. this is a 3 d.
2:22 pm
printer that this material that is there comes out of it has out of out of here as a 3rd of a tesla strength as deal and that is beautiful. and that it is a professor of biomedical engineering ringback. he's interested in the properties of the material silkworms produce. a believes that still can help protect the environment sulfide plastic waste. and also in that city could soon replace many other material. silkworms produce about one kilometer of sent to bill back to us humans have used silk fibers for thousands of years to produce textiles. but now the boston researches have succeeded in transforming cells into a new material with breaths. thank you but it's a case. of this the silk needs to be transformed back into a liquid similar to the fluid in sex produces before spencer struck. first the
2:23 pm
research is coming up the can do so for alcohol. extract the silk proteins of the course of several tanks. and so now it's proven impossible to artificially manufacture the substance of the insect produces in its glass. it's a mixture of silk find a decent cool sanderson and most of. the symptoms spins it straight it removes the water from simply to the fibers and servicing then stick together and light it 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
2:24 pm
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 that's the beauty of the beauty of working in this and this domain. similar to plastic liquid silk can be shaped into lumps of different phone use. the 1st research is trying to spin a simple friday just like the cell. thread just carefully extract it from a drug while going to a real. got to keep something. so want to see do differently. to lose from it's outrageous it is
2:25 pm
a long way toward my bicycle. she doesn't come she doesn't even have a driving license and yet she's very much interested in traffic to the special kind of traffic. start is the behavior of. syria versus things of decent. and never come up against a tree. with. andre moss the whole song traffic on. the other side some ideal research objects because they have particularly sophisticated logistics. they can see. that they have kids sense of smell. and smart their trails what's. different and discovers food good runs back to the nest to get reinforcements and
2:26 pm
in doing so to need mom since i'm the other spawn of his trial and also monitoring . the answer for the shortest of the month. then half a staff or mark more frequently after a short while it smells most intense. so this room's. a simple yet brilliant way to solve for the just tickle problem but how failsafe is it. outrageous to talk wants to put the little transport geniuses to a test. where at the university of geese in germany. in the universities greenhouse and driest coaches cast breeds ladybirds. one lady can eat up to 300 all states. this is one of the century's
2:27 pm
welcome. once considered blocking. the luck of its heat from the race it's a tax everything out of. their advertisers and since. this is especially true of the view that nation made. it displaces in every species well john might but why. in the barn 300 s. coaching staff and his team preparing experiments. because unowned a bigger lab of a european may do good together with the younger small amount of contagion and that's. the reason for this what researchers have expected the people who eats the small. event something happens. mom to be 60 find the few mother biggest enemies inflated birds
2:28 pm
are other lady birds or is a worry about the larger awful bird of the final exit or smaller larva they'll leave them out and ivan a service that whenever out in the birds in ladybird's doubt they died of a lesson on stuff but neither the other way around it does out the nothing happens often although the idea that i not miss life was plus the next. apparently the office of the asian lady bird has a powerful bio weapon the kills anyone that tries to be to. dress cochins gets examines the blood and so code. of the insects it's full of microscopic parasites. the shores of the skull which was about lost all but it's fun to sell and i couldn't believe my honesty i was so surprised. i've been researching insects and their immune systems are 20 years i've investigated thousands of insects on hooks for never seen anything like those just and i've only seen those images like these
2:29 pm
in the us i guess i will jet and follow the path and you of us you should have never seen this in a live animal doesn't fly the story produces all seem so awful. the asian lady pat must have an extremely powerful immune system. but how it doesn't stay friends may consider. the tufts university in boston the scientists that managed to extract the silk right from the trunk. secret because finding the right never the past human to see is going to be a way to maybe build. a little hint of the name of a microbe on my community. now they are able to spin a continuous strong front from a quick fight scene. but a few doors further down they're already working on the next exciting complication is a bit of the in the inside the inside prosody yeah. it's 3 d. printer is programmed to produce an artificial from liquid so. the advantage is
2:30 pm
that the human body doesn't she. still makes trying the printer is designed to do so for a few months. until the body has come to the suit scaffolding with bugs created to keep them open until the other end i do become a green body and then after that will center and that's when it really gets the fabulous grid. it's a beautiful process the transition from a liquid suspension to to a solid format of material but the pragmatics are that our balls our organs are very multi 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 part of the living system that is a very significant challenge so is it going to be
2:31 pm
a reality. probably is it going to be hard absolutely. the implant only exists in the lab. but the research is a time sooner versity have achieved a breakthrough. they have proven that in principle soft snow can be transformed into hot back. into the fold or a just want to put a run through just because skills to the test 1st she prepares a special meal for the red liquid contains 30 percent sugar for the green only 0 point one percent the insects are offered both food sources at the same time on identical tables the past of the food sources are also of the same length so this time the ansto have to find the shortest way to discover the best food source.
2:32 pm
first the answer to get to explore the new structure. they quickly discover the 2 bridges on the dishes with the 2 different sugars so. there's a lot of traffic on the regions but after not being able stringfellow my concentration to read the solution. the other is virtually certain. it's a canter that's almost just and the interesting thing left is the stiffness city of the system secure if only i'd still have to compare the fates of reasons off it all the better the food of the more intensely they mark the path that doesn't add to climbing up the field and just get out that's just the end of one of us really just so there is value to think says he didn't like that quality it doesn't leave us in that buffet imo it's simply follows the stronger ferreted introduced the show the system is not really simple that he did according. the quality of the film goes like the similarity or fewer fairly appollo it's a system that's very easy to communicate and has also been calling
2:33 pm
a simple. i took up to. be at scale state system is of particular interest to logistics engineers. the engineers are from here because the tutorial flow just ticks and don't mean just developing this morning it's going to translate it's awesome transports are still a good place. the results speak you can translate. those under nomic foursomes now the think about dynamics is ours is where the fast changing conditions for example enter shrub's one of the most lives is it then so our arms are superior because the robots will have to know what lands it's a lot of confidence in our. friends of ever not just want to read what might john amicably respond to childish love again all 5. of the books have to expose this to take its place it's
2:34 pm
a competitive system they need to bid for every job. the 1st machine signals it's a close call the 2nd one has a full of bactrim but the good ones make it the job because it can carry you along the way. however this sometimes least the strength of the system looks just like ants robots from the trunk of the road. but these are marked with wife i see that if you found some explain. how i look at the robots encounter an obstacle never gets played for security reasons we stop immediately when something blocks that one a. small amount it's a good look around the try to discover a new. market with. the robot however needs
2:35 pm
a little help. the asian lady betty still hasn't 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 it's hema lymph contains effective substances against multi-drug resistant bacteria so-called super bugs. ladybirds immune system immediately react to. it discharges small molecules that attack the intruders in front of this. these molecules have huge potential for the development of drug.
2:36 pm
what is the exact nature of these substances 1st the researches must obtain a small amount of the ladybirds plant however they don't need to prod it with a needle it's enough to briefly shake it as a defense reaction the beetle releases small amounts of its bitter tasting hema 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 . this bomb bomb. bomb bomb. bomb. this is one of us and show us is pure savvy assuming we barely knew all of us that we didn't help before before have not been stopped i'm not but this is one side and as far as and they can it's good not just like a c. on ours looking into the sky when tail storms move pope and under one study what i
2:37 pm
mean is this honestly don't look at small details multiple champions even the climate that has the astronomers and they also always see corellas so normal or doesn't it will go for certain but no one point we were ever the might get caught saddam and so make all possible things that where all those issues are substance in the sand the health and good news the for the benefit of humanity it's been rough. back at tufts university silk lab in boston. the silk worms only need one thing to grown produce their miracle material. non-police. for 4 weeks they chop their way through the foliage increasing their original body weight 10000 for. the fact that the researches of found the way to make simply quit again has opened up completely new possibilities. political advice material can be easily combined with medicines and shaped into new forms.
2:38 pm
the researches of discovered the drugs integrated into the silk structure state active for longer. this opens up new possibilities for transporting storing vaccines for example without having to worry about refrigeration. and since silk becomes hot unstable when dry the list of applications 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. think forward you will have you can eat some to eat sensors and they will communicate and tell you how you're you know tell you something about your food whether their food is good or not whether it's time to sew it away whether you're healthy. and it's not only about so i think it's going to be about a general platform based on naturally the right material you may have
2:39 pm
a phone that you can plant in your garden when you're done using using it or not. so want to silt could become an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic and that's how south waste problem. 3 at the natural history museum cons were just an unusual meeting takes place the architect i think lincoln's has come to see the insect researchers thomas not because. he's interested in sex but considering. 6 which of us.
2:40 pm
they're interested in a colorado potato beetle that wouldn't. actually mangas is a professor of architecture and computer aided design at the university of chicago in germany. by studying insects he wants to discover a new design principles and create innovative structures. promised fear of the colorado potato beetle because it can cause serious cropped up . it also has a very hard shell. it's 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 couldn't fly the architect is interested in the structure of these cases. that are too often one for guns on the human nature we find totally
2:41 pm
different construction pressures to destroy those found in the history of engine or occasional clerking texture. this allows us to think outside the box and outside fix to ignore it and question the way we look at things stands a constitutional law as a stand where you discover noise principles that stand go beyond what you already know to be. in order to uncover the secrets of the beatles wings the 2 scientists take the insects to the constituent technology cultural. institute has a gigantic particle accelerator that produces extremely precise x. ray radiation. the scientists want to use it to analyze the beatles wings for which . this is the speciality insect exposed thomas monica
2:42 pm
2 2. the x. ray images show that the case of the potato beetle consists of 2 separate shells. that is hollow the assertion with an undertone that. an extremely lightweight construction with cutting its mark the binds or that it was all countries are going to disorder small columns connect the upper and lower house of the way up a shiny between them so the large cavity the sides can notice business bizarreness and to see it see the bright spots show the places where the 2 shells are connected . and one of them on my skin. and it's on the seen on those also. the winged case of the potato beetle consists of closely into one of them find. the architect is especially interested in the columns between the 2 shots which of
2:43 pm
holmes by thick bundles of mine. to transfer the forces between the other and the lower shelves. from these columns by the spread out in many different directions this network of minds makes the structure of our lives at stake. i think a symptom of mine and i think that although one head we marvel at what nature is for yet it some of the other hand will wonder why this idea hasn't crossed engineering's before on off to tell thirdly we realize that this is this is about evolution that we can call the relatively easily methods as long as it's this on this earth what makes it so exciting hold up something on the spot as well and so fond. of him angus wants to use the beetle was designed as the basis for a new structure. just like the wing case of the potato beetle the structure must be lightened state. however the architect does know how to design the load bearing
2:44 pm
components. the beetle has not yet read. feel the exact arrangements of the findings. into the things that will drain just the 2 of you still trying to outsmart her. she stalks of something new to produce an incentive structure and again she uses sugar solution to a truck to be science and the gang that populates over an hour break for this time it's riddled with obstacles. that sound all i think that this is a bridge with a small pillers it was long to find out whether these other stalls calls hollow they know whether they'd rather help to sit on it or there and this increased the speed of the ends it along to because it forms. the hats discover the great and explore the new surrounding. them.
2:45 pm
then the 1st ones returns of the next. battle. for the game fair in march trying to beat others to the sure solution for. the. 2 more more times run across the bridge but sometimes the columns obstruct the flow of traffic. well qualified called for anyone to encounter is a pillar and blocks around it comes i sit in the audience that comes towards it goes around the other wildlife fluid system coming free. and easy for out of traffic apps can do it the cam way. the women dressed in german. they surfaced in the woods to see the east coast thompson especially during rush hour. the truth. didn't have to
2:46 pm
take the korean diversity addressed traffic planners are looking into the problem. as a business just not more than ok we're in the north of dresden the city causing this road behind us the city center over here before is that sense of fairness and just real and president to do stuff mr she can get other getting the point of view which is pretty stephanie never wants to restore traffic an artist would decide for themselves wants a different it's just like ounce to all that stuff. and shit is a jewel of a situation arises when there's traffic all the traffic lights it's best what is it like the one insulting a central control such an issue instead of an authentic looks at the local situation s. and results are those of us. just like it i'm going to there is no central control . using census each traffic nightmares are many are coming from a range. of minus 3. cost gets the green light to cause they're coming from the other direction but as soon as they have promised the other cars going to. the
2:47 pm
truck it like the saudis want to and not just that it was a soft spot as soon as ever comes the way the long time because there was a noise the world was coming on the range of its pressure. trying to find ones were getting too wild the pressure of the blue cars is the only way that the traffic light really changes the release of those who were using. what we were trying to write to me to be changes my. only point was that words which are as it was always get a green light. on the server don't give all the time we've managed to solve not to get lower deuce waiting times for all types of trial the ties for cars by about 30 percent for pedestrians a full about 40 percent of the sports and for the 1st offices by about a 3rd. for the public transport whatever managed to really wasn't having their lives on the processed books and about the type of adults you're. mrs and not yours it's been established bedrooms and then just sundays or talking mostly.
2:48 pm
over in germany the colorado potential beatle has become the architects thanks for brainteaser. they masterfully analyze its lights heat stable wing structure now they try to apply the new show mange info that often couldn't. business important human to the pillow because we have to check out how we can and down for sure they're going to a system of 2 different geometrical configurations. which is no easy task actually i have to say it was an option on the layers have to touch each other with a decent amount of contact force in its engine never my computer is just asking mendus uses a simple wooden thread model to try out his ideas. mysticism thank you for your. it's important to know that the cathedral doesn't tell us everything about it allows us to discover circling sydney instruction consequences not wise
2:49 pm
and now we can apply these instruction principles in a multitude of ways this is it is math as fast as enough many different shapes all know by g. going among and we can guess in a certain way on what the overall construction might look like i'll see what the outcome is. the architects of use the beetle wings pillars to design pentagons the foam the basic building blocks of the structure. the armor its leaves but here we have simulated the stresses acting on such an element the money you can sue the magnitude and the direction of the stresses so you can meet some of the aerials there. and you're going to see us going to your structure will look like an steed. the beetle wing privilege consists of carbon glass eyepiece computer controlled robots produce the individual. final structure is put up on the university's campus and. normally this would be the end of such an
2:50 pm
architectural experiment. commissions a new even bigger pavilion. and to the homes beyond simply refuse to get stuck in traffic jams. or bangkok or order a just to observe something on someone somebody stole the wrong paint system. spackle frankly for me and i don't think the answer awareness or travel example i'm disappointed in the tough week sickish signalling the napkins on a individual level fit and if you get one for look at of any form i have is that the end is stopped traffic becomes to have a coffee different culpable yet your have slid into many alicia's is that your somehow still stalled like place in the sense that form on the against that structure that is right click on clear trains to stare at it.
2:51 pm
it's not your claim the arms know when to stop but regularly there are travelling with a radius of torque wants to continue studying the incidents in every area near the ams probably have many more drinks with numbers without driving problems at least outré now has an explanation for why they have now trying to terms. to double only for me but there's a beauty and have a common goal or should learn they're looking for food which they then buy or when the hollister which they're here does look at almost all their system only works because little altogether their interest in it is a whopper entity to presume if you compare this with a little heart or contest really traffic because you don't like the number one has there isn't goals that are motivations old there's no real interest to have one more hit on the coping. more cooperation and less egotism would probably help others to. i'm still sure they don't miss mason even highly complex societies come

from china viciously. i think universities look at the fabrication of a new fetal position is entering its decisive place. according to a preprogramed pattern based a potato b. to design a rope lines pressing a cross copper pipes onto a steep price. an engineer always keeps one finger on the emergency standby in case of threats the song on the robot produces a rat's nest of fire. when construction is stronger steel will be for leaving the make a harder. they will form the supporting outlets of the brick. the glass and confines of the back below the belt. as
2:53 pm
a protection against right now much plexiglass cut the top. saunders also it's a question amazing moment to see the structure to prevent stains unseen because man has if we haven't actually seen its real shape he is or. it emerges during the manufacture and just through the interaction of human foster by anyone such efforts . nothing breaks nothing back. to grace to cause. the victorian alex you get to speak of it. as gods and this has nothing to prove the everything you see is while he's about as much as we are leaders of the facade of this brick building
2:54 pm
a wall. and i was 2 and half a dozen so i got up and just to give you an idea of the mobs they left joined by special and solid but also for light i was also as was the last. the spy case the elements are assembled into a $200.00 square metre of it. however the workers have difficulties tightening the screws which slows down the construction work. but with each other it's the classic it's better to send it in its structure. to manage to make a 1000000000. just in case of the exhibition. the toy store on for i am doing them nature has an incredibly huge is it just as over here us at the d.n.a. of possibilities mukesh chi that makes a sense of us all the diverse and active the via doing it it shows us how to enjoy

things and we wouldn't just done because he'll come attentional wisdoms from pudong on ours and i want to have a common technique as the solutions need to look. the because of it is the main attraction of the courtyard to the music. to visitors are aware that this band is modeled on the winners of a small piece that is being considered the past the centuries. to rhode island hospital tory kinnaman is starting to test the lady a good 90 miles even on white smocks. during our 1st year in college tory a south became infected superbugs because without knowing it she belongs to a high risk group. just show changing rooms and spoke. on the frequency sufis wings of $93.00 points
2:56 pm
for bacteria. while being a member of brown university's gymnastics team tory got an infection this 60 centimeters long skull is of course how. it was read very swollen very hot to the touch i came down with flu like symptoms and something inside me just told me that something wasn't right so i went to the emergency room at rhode island hospital and they diagnosed it as marsa and i remember turning to my dad and just asking him dad are they going to have to amputate my leg and i was so so scared to ask them a question. because i was scared to hear the answer they save my leg but ultimately they saved my life as well. that's my story kind of dedicates a sound surprising multi-track response to. perhaps he would achieve
2:57 pm
a breakthrough to reach the right from the media those. first substances based on other insects have already been successfully tested. on the 1st clinical trials are underway. visible globish and until such as a good medical type doesn't so much damage up with more than a 1000000 species to come out on something special about a lot of them again probably not by its author like so much medicine can take i think if i can question him some easy going to go down to 5 if you come home as it's one of them in shock as you see. some of the most successful life form of the planet's. matters to adapt to the most diverse environments has found ingenious solutions to seemingly song problems. we should not just see them as past sort of noises. but also a lot of the. clatter survivalist and nature's most superheroes.
