Freshwater habitats occupy only a small portion of the earth’s surface, but are vital for millions of creatures that come together to find a mate. And success depends on a perfect timing, linked to the arrival of the rains or the melting of the ice. In these habitats – with the BBC documentary – the journey into the game of seduction by “Superquark” continues, broadcast on Wednesday 27 July at 21.25 on Rai 1, with Piero Angela. The objective is also on the Cute Bank of the Emilia-Romagna Region, connected to the Large Burns Center of the “M. Bufalini ”in Cesena, one of the five Italian skin tissue banks accredited by the National Transplant Center. Alberto Angela will instead be, this week, among the Icebergs of Greenland. He will sail in the midst of these floating giants, among wonderful scenarios.
In the report by Barbara Bernardini and Marco Visalberghi, the Tree Talker is in the foreground, a pioneering research system that aims to get in touch with trees and forests around the world and collect vital data on their well-being. A kind of continuous check-up which, through sensors applied directly to the trees, is able to collect information relating to the environment, humidity, temperature, CO2 absorption and release of oxygen and tree health. The idea came from the mind of the Nobel laureate Riccardo Valentini, an engineer from the University of Tuscia specialized in the analysis of big data and climate change. Giovanni Carrada and Rossella Li Vigni take care of the first census of 3300 Italian wolves by interviewing the experts. And again, 53 years after the landing of the first man on the moon, the projects of the space agencies and the extraordinary role of Italy in the future lunar enterprise.
Many guests of Piero Angela in the studio for the columns. For “Scienza in cucina” Dr. Elisabetta Bernardi investigates with Daniela Franco which are the best substitutes for milk and meat. In “Behind the scenes of history” Professor Alessandro Barbero talks about the coronation of Napoleon. In “Psychology of a buffalo” Massimo Polidoro explains how the “mud machine” works. In “The experiment” the physicist Paco Lanciano tells what moons are.
Piero Angela will also be in the late evening with “Superquark Natura”: central topic “the most extreme environments” which will be analyzed in the fourth episode of the BBC series “A perfect planet”.
