INTERVIEW DESCRIPTION: Mars is the closest planet in our solar system that at one point could have supported life. It could theoretically also be terra-formed to be habitable by humans. The state of current missions to Mars was examined as well as the possibility of future settlement by humans.
INTERVIEW DESCRIPTION: Brain-Machine Interfaces are devices that are able to compensate for lost sensory or motor functions. They involve implanting electrodes into the nervous system to either read output or to input information into the nervous system. Covered on the show was the theory of Brain-Machine interfaces as well as the viability of producing such devices.
3/14/2001 -- Prof. Seth Lloyd of MIT discussed quantum computing and the phenomenon of stopping light.
INTERVIEW DESCRIPTION: Quantum Computing involves using the fundamental indeterminate behavior of particles on the atomic scale. Quantum computers could potentially perform operations that are impossible with the current technology. Discussed on the program were the theory of quantum computing and the phenomenon of stopping light.
INTERVIEW DESCRIPTION: Biometrics is an emerging field where biological characteristics of an individual are used to grant access to information, accounts, buildings, etc. These devices have the potential to replace many password-based systems. The show covered the current state of the technology as well as future applications.
INTERVIEW DESCRIPTION: Data Mining is an emerging field where large stores of computer data are analyzed for patterns. It is being used in applications as diverse as astronomical predictions for analyzing consumer behavior. Covered on the show was the current state of data mining technology.
