being you ugh our science and technology editor jacob ward has more. >> stablely and ably walk aroundn two legs. well it turns out that running on two legs is sort ever solves some of those engineering problems.koreproblems. korea institute of technology known as kiste. to watch this thing run is pretty creepy. it's based literally on the ve lfergociraptor dinosaur. a swinging device, a side arm that acts as a stabilizing tail the same way as the dinosaur did and its incredible pace comes from the resilience of you its legs which are built from a very light weight flexible material. what's really extraordinary is to watch this thing navigate be obstacles. you can put a block in its way and it will simply leap right sort of off of it in the way that a steeple comais runner may go over -- chase runner may go over an obstacle. the cheetah made by poverty dynamics, also pretty amazing, but how far korea has moved in robotics. one of the industries in which he wishes to dominate in the future. hugo, a robot that competed in the robotics challenge last year, now we're seeing them move into

jacob ward, here to explain, tell us why it's important. >> well toifn, this was a -- tony, this was a russian-made program, in the touring test, from allen touring, the father of are modern computing. he figured in a subminute typed conversation into believing they were human. in this particular case the programmers created a sort of back story for this computer program, they called it eugene gutsman, posed him as a 13-year-old ukrainian boy. and fooled about 30% of the participants. >> have you tried it? >> i have, actually, anybody can go out and check it out. it's pretty unbelievable. at first it sort of begins to converse back and forthwith you pretty well and then pretty soon it starts to say some pretty strange discursive things. maybe because he's 13 or maybe because english isn't his first language. this is the criticism that this has come under today that it's somehow just too much to kind of -- ipts a gimmick to really -- it's a gimmick to call it a kid. in a few minutes he started to repeat himself, cutting off his sentences, it was kind of change. it's kind of early to c

jacob ward joins us from san francisco. there's a federal effort to four states to give up reliance on coal. what other forms of energy are available right now? >> well, that is the - this could be the straw that breaks the back of coal. no one will build a coal-fired plant in the united states. really, states are given the flexibility to find their own way to these goals. the most effective way to get there, everyone agrees, is renewables. solar and wind are important. they were nearby and expensive ways of producing electricity. we have seen solar power drop by 99% in terms of costs in 1973, and the adoption of it is on the rise. in the first quarter of this year we saw 75% more solar power than last year. solar and wind is the ascendant forms of energy. >> what is the scientific community's take on this. generally speaking, is this a plan that could potentially stiffle economic growth? >> i think an interesting way to look at it is to think about, for instance, germany, which is europe's largest economy. on a sunday in m

as jacob ward reports, researchers can pinpoint how much longer it may survive. >> reporter: this is the legion of honour, containing a conservation lab for paper art. it's a great way of understanding the process of making art. beginning in the 14th century artists used paper to plan out and thinking about their work, their sculptures or paintings before executing them. leon arto da vipsy is an agreed -- vincy is a great example. paper was great stuff. more recent made out of wood pulp. back then it was made mostly out of linen rags, meaning it lasted a long time. as you know, paper eventually yellows and that process is caused by atoms within paper, ab sort offing blue light, and the more yellow light it reflects. the work in question is a great self-portrait by da vinci. i'll draw a self-portrait of myself - ready. i can't do that, i'm a terrible artist. but the idea here is that when you put chalk on paper the contrast makes it beautiful. in the case of da vinci's works, as the paper yello, the red chalk is losing its contrast. the work that these polish researchers have done is
