We look at the main contenders for future global energy - oil, natural gas, wind, wave and nuclear power. How can these technologies be improved to get us the energy we need to run our civilisation?

Plus, we visit Masdar City, the world's first almost-arcology - a hyper-efficient, self-contained settlement that brings cool, low-impact living to the middle of the desert. But is Masdar shaping up to be everything it promised, or are the realities of global commerce taking their toll? For you gamers: is Masdar actually Bioshock in real life?

Elsewhere we look at the future of bomb detection, go inside Lucas Heights (Australia's only nuclear reactor) and build night goggles using genuine ex-USSR military hardware!
