Smart China: Big Science
Artificial Intelligence expert and biomechanical engineer Dr. Jordan Nguyen visits China to see how the country is moving from its maker past into a cutting-edge new world driven by science. He travels the country, from the Gobi Desert to the freezing Siberian wilderness, to get behind the usually locked doors of some of China’s most advanced science projects to see how science has become central to China’s identity. He meets the scientists and engineers behind world-changing ideas in quantum physics, ultrahigh energy cosmic-ray detection, and leading-edge developments in space engineering.
