DVD Review: NatureTech - Page 2

And lastly, "The Material World" showed some groundbreaking work being done in new material creation. Imagine a fabric that wouldn't soak through, or a paint that repelled dirt and dust? Or using silk and chitin and other raw materials available in nature to create light, super-strong materials to be used in a variety of amazing ways.

I know from experience that some people don't appreciate the amazing work that goes into producing documentaries, whether historical, about nature, or the arts. But the Smithsonian Channel has done an amazing job not only explaining some of the many mysteries readily available in nature, but sharing some of the work being done to reproduce natural properties to improve our lives.

If you're a science geek like myself or merely interested in the closing gap between science and nature, definitely check out NatureTech on DVD. It's worth every minute!
