Professor Cranium has heard of some new technology that will help him over take the world. - But what will he choose to do with the new 'lasers'? Does he even know what he is talking about or what lasers are actually used for? We already know that a laser is different to a torch because the light doesn't spread out, it stays in a thin, concentrated line. Kellyn crosses to Clare in the 'Think Tank' where she explains the laser and our "BrainBuzz crew" use a series of mirrors to complete a laser maze. They use this concept to create a maze using mirrors to get the laser beam to travel in all different directions. Road safety officer, Johnathan brings in a Radar Gun. Kellyn and the "BrainBuzz crew" check out the science behind how it works, and set up some speedy radio controlled cars to check their speed. Kellyn has pretty awful eyesight, so she is very interested in visiting an ophthalmologist. There she checks out an operating theatre and the equipment used for laser eye surgery. Resident Scientist, Clare spends some time in a factory. We will see a laser cutting system in place and learn how the laser has revolutionized the way we build things today.
