This week's programme in the series on Man and Science Today.
Most people have heard of carbon fibre; it's been called a 'wonder material,' twice as stiff but only half the weight of aluminium. Yet it's only one of a number of new materials that are now being developed in a strange world where things simply don't behave in the way you'd expect. A metal behaves like bubblegum - and may one day be used for car bodies; a piece of pottery can be repeatedly heated and struck without shattering - and may eventually be used in car engines.
Tonight's programme looks at the work of men trying to develop these materials and the problems they face in getting their ideas accepted. Britain has an enviable reputation for good scientific research; a less enviable one for failing to exploit the discoveries made in her laboratories. Whether our next generation of materials will be properly exploited is being decided here and now.
