What will the future look like? Will people fly to work? Will one live a disease free life? Will one never age? Brilliant thinkers, cutting edge research, backyard inventors are on the way to breakthrough science that will change lives forever. Watch the future being invented on Innovation Nation every Thursday at 8:30 pm on Discovery Science.

Rahul Johri, senior vice president & general manager - South Asia, Discovery Networks Asia-Pacific, said, "Discovery Science will present inspiring real stories of innovation in a captivating new series Innovation Nation. Inventions, technologies, revolutions you could only imagine are made real in this series."

Innovation Nation features budding inventors, innovators and designers who have been laboring away in sheds to dig out things that we would have only thought of. Travelling across the globe from cutting-edge research to ingenious inventors, it offers intimate access to the people who make high science a reality. Real world demonstrations, lab experiments, and in-depth interviews are complemented by stunning visuals, all of which bring the planet's bravest new ideas to life.

Innovation Nation travels the globe to find out if we can stop or reverse global warming? How close are we to making robots that can perceive and think like humans? Will wind or algae-based biomass one day provide all our energy needs?

Innovation Nation:

Episodic descriptions

CO2

Innovation Nation follows the work of a Nobel Prize winning scientist on the Canadian prairies, an innovator in New York who has designed a unique synthetic tree, and a mega-project in Europe where CO2, instead of being sent skyward, is stored far out of harm's way deep beneath the sea bed.

Wind Power

Along with cutting-edge wind farms and new turbine designs, Innovation Nation meets renegade inventor Doug Selsam as he builds the world's first flying turbine, a device that may just change our world.

Bio fuel

Along with exploring bold new ways of harvesting energy from bio-mass, Innovation Nation uncovers an amazing bio-fuel jet truck, a record breaking flying machine, and a unique car made almost entirely of organic matter.

Communications

As we become digitally more connected, at ever increasing speeds, new technologies seek to transform the way we interact with one another and our environment. Innovation Nation looks at the brave new world of augmented reality, robotic tele-presence, and technologies that can only exist in a future filled with 4G ultra-broadband.

Robots at work

Revolutionary new machines are being designed and built for the workplace of tomorrow. Along with visiting robotic labs around the world, Innovation Nation explores robot-human psychology and tests out an exo-skeleton, a robot that you can strap on and wear.

Artificial Intelligence

Innovation Nation explores the fascinating world of Artificial Intelligence, taking us into labs and workshops where innovators teach robots to perceive, think, and move just like human beings.
