This month it's all about the brain: Yoshiki Sasai's recipe for growing brain tissue from stem cells, how our early life experiences shape the wiring of our brain's visual centre, and the RIKEN researchers that used brain cells to clone mice frozen for over a decade.

Join us on a trip to the English countryside to see how RIKEN researchers are using beams of muons to probe the micro-structure of materials. Also in this show, sex cell determination and the unusual wave-bending properties of metamaterials.

A new kind of microscope that could bring colour to the nanoworld and the latest research from RIKEN's Plant Science Centre.
