Superquark
Season 26 Episode 2 - Orthopedic prostheses, digital startups, and the sun, under special surveillance
The second episode of Superquark, the BBC nature documentary from the "Dynasties" series, opens. It takes us to Atka Bay, off the coast of Antarctica, in a hostile and icy environment where survival is far from guaranteed. How an orthopedic prosthesis is created: why digital technology is transforming mechanics into cutting-edge technology. Giovanni Carrada and Giulia De Francovich went to see how, starting from a simple piece of titanium, digital technologies help create a highly sophisticated product, performing a double miracle: medical and economic. Paolo Magliocco and Daniela Franco are in Mestre at the multimedia and interactive museum dedicated to the twentieth century, where the short century, the century of world wars, the century of the economic boom, the century of great technological innovations, and social changes can be explored on many levels, from simple curiosity to scientific exploration.
