This week we will discover a new way to peel the layers away from a pencil on the nanoscale and then use the remaining graphene sheets for many varied applications. We will also learn how an electric eel generates electricity and about some interesting applications for that knowledge.

Extreme life has been found all over the planet, but researchers have recently discovered a very unique form of extreme life deep inside the earth. Also, guest researcher Dr. Doug Brugge talks about his studies of asthma in various Boston populations.

The first is using GFP, for which the discovery and use of won the 2008 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. Then we will learn about how epigenetics, the study of gene expression, is used in cancer research.
