BELL RINGS | 0:00:02 | 0:00:03 | |
Urgh! How can Ms Hucklebuck have so much stuff? | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
-Maybe she just really likes boxes. -I wish she liked smaller boxes. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:11 | |
Jonathan, can you pop upstairs, please? | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
My telephone doesn't seem to be working. Hello? | 0:00:15 | 0:00:19 | |
-Oh. Will do, Ms Hucklebuck. -Hello? Hello? | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
And by the way, my name is Colin. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
-BELL RINGS -Positions, everyone. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
This is Brain Freeze! | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
With Dr Knowles... | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
Professor McCork... | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
Colin the floor manager... | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
and Ms Hucklebuck. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
Stand by! | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
Come on, everybody! | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
BOTH: It's time for... | 0:00:47 | 0:00:48 | |
Today, we're asking... | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
Strength can be measured in a number of ways. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
Diamond is the hardest natural material, | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
and is very difficult to scratch. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
However, if you smash a diamond with a hammer, it will fracture. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
On the other hand, super strong steel is known for its amazing | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
tensile strength, meaning it can resist being pulled or stretched. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
But there are some materials in nature that are even stronger. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
What?! | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
Spider silk has incredible tensile strength | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
and, relative to its size, is actually stronger than steel. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
Whoa, that's amazing! | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
There couldn't be anything stronger than that. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
I wouldn't be so sure. See you after this break. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
And we're clear! | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
Oh. I mean, really! What's in these things? | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
Yeah, I've got my suspicions about this one, all right. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
FRANTIC YAPPING INSIDE | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
Hello! | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
Hello, Ms Hucklebuck! It's Colin... | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
BOINGING AND WHIZZING | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
Well, I did not expect to see that! | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
Wait 'til the others find out about this. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
-BELL RINGS -Oh, crumpets! Positions! | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
So, tell us, Dr Knowles, | 0:02:06 | 0:02:07 | |
what is the world's strongest natural material? | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
-The world's strongest natural material isn't diamond. -No. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
-Or steel. -No. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:15 | |
Or even spider silk! | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
Oh, please tell us! Please tell us, Dr Knowles. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
It's limpet teeth! | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
Limpet teeth! | 0:02:22 | 0:02:23 | |
Limpet... | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
t...teeth? | 0:02:25 | 0:02:26 | |
That's a joke, right? | 0:02:26 | 0:02:27 | |
Limpets are a type of sea snail that look like barnacles. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
They feed on algae by scraping along rock surfaces | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
with a tongue-like structure called a radula. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
Their radula contains tiny microscopic teeth | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
which are made of composite fibres that are both hard and tough, | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
making for a phenomenal grip. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
By studying these incredible creatures, | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
scientists are learning new ways to build structures in the human world. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:53 | |
This process is called bioinspiration. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
Bioinspiration! | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
That's brilliant. | 0:02:58 | 0:02:59 | |
We can all learn something from that. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
-See you next time! -Bye-bye, limpet fans! | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
Ohhh... I feel like I'm going round in circles here. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
I could have sworn I carried this box in already. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
Ach, I know what you mean, Doctor! It feels very repetitive. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
CRASH | 0:03:17 | 0:03:18 | |
Hang on! I've been moving all these boxes from here to there. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
And I've been moving all those boxes from there to here. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
Oh, don't tell me... | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
Oh, 'fraid so, Dr Knowles. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
-Sorry. -Ohhh... | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
It's going to be a long night. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
Er, Jonathan! You will keep it to yourself about... | 0:03:35 | 0:03:39 | |
You know, what you saw earlier, won't you? | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
Absolutely, Ms Hucklebuck. Mum's the word. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
And would you be a dear and pop back up when you get a sec? | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
My computer seems to be running a bit slow... | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
Oh, crumpets... | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
-I've read the manual and... -Yes, Ms Hucklebuck. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 |
