Rocket Plane
We check out a passenger plane called the A2, and not since the Concorde has there been this much excitement over a flying machine. The aircraft's speed - over three thousand miles an hour - might have something to do with it!

Mabel Robot
Scientists at the University of Michigan have created a robot that walks just like a human. Her name is Mabel, and she's graduated from baby steps to giant leaps.

French Cave Carvings
The amazing gadget in this story is the result of one man's passion and determination to capture messages left behind by allied troops of the First World War.

Paper Airplane Guy
The name says it all. We meet the world-record holder in the long distance paper airplane throw - and take flight with a number of his other designs.
