NEW

Science Investigators is a new and groundbreaking television program that takes a 21st century, cutting-edge approach to the subject of science. The show will provide solutions to a series of scientific mysteries in a fresh, captivating way.

Full of information told through compelling stories, the series is presented by four young, lively hosts armed with the latest gadgets and technology, who make this a science show with attitude for the blog generation.

In the first episode, we ask: What can DNA from a more than 30,000-year-old Neanderthal man tell us about ourselves? Are vanishing frogs an early warning sign of hazards to come? Why is the knuckleball one of the most mind-boggling pitches in baseball? And will bacteria be used to power iPods in the future? We also tell the moving story of an injured Iraq war veteran searching for a better bionic arm.

Finally, we ask whether NASCAR drivers are ready for a new kind of racecar-one that's all electric.
