Step behind the headlines as Making Stuff dramatizes the human stories woven into the current wave of hi-tech breakthroughs.

Of particular interest to CMGL is the segment on "Stronger" which discusses nanotechnolgoy used in the making of colored glass for the stained glass windows in the Canterbury Cathedral, and how different chemicals change the colors in glass.
