We check out the alarming rise of Superbugs and solutions for fighting back; exciting innovations driving the green energy revolution; investigate developments in treatments and therapies for some of our most devastating health conditions; reveal the geological processes that sustain modern life; and highlight the latest environmental and climate change research that will help protect our planet for future generations.

And Dr Fergus McAuliffe presents Curious Chronicles, where science meets storytelling to explore some of the more bizarre aspects of our world – from hipster beards that may harbour new antibiotics, to the introduction of a cute and fluffy invasive species that inadvertently led to a full-scale war on a beloved national icon of Australia!
