在一班致力塑造新世界的工程師的推動下，一場工程學革命正在全球各地進行中。他們不斷突破科技界限，設計出一部又一部改寫人類生活的超凡機器，目標是攜手創建一個更潔淨、更環保的未來世界。
毫無疑問，我們的飛行方式即將改變；這個改變並非由傳統航天業界推動，而是由新一代不怕天馬行空的飛行員所引入。從潔淨環保內陸機場到自主駕駛空中的士，電動飛機的發展，或許標誌著噴射機年代正步入倒數階段……

預告
小麥一直以來都是人類的主要糧食，是全世界最早文明的基礎。不過，現在愈來愈多人覺得小麥是毒藥，市場上因而冒起了海量的貴價無麩質產品。然而，這場突發性穀物不耐症海嘯的真正成因仍然是個謎。何解突然之間這麼多人不再喜歡蛋白質極豐富的穀物類？是我們近來在飲食習慣上的改變引發了這種流行病嗎？現在的小麥，還是否我們吃了一萬年的小麥？一班科學家、食品活動分子和努力不解的農民，嘗試揭露工業食品質量的真相。

All over the world an engineering revolution is underway. Driven by dedicated individuals intent on shaping a new world. They are pushing technological boundaries to create extraordinary machines that will change our lives. Theirs is a vision of a cleaner, greener world and together they are Engineering the Future.
Without question the way we fly is about to change. A change that is not being driven by the conventional aerospace industry but by a new breed of aviators, not afraid to think differently. From clean green local airports to autonomous sky taxis, electric powered aircraft just might signal that the days of the jet age are numbered.

未來工程：核聚變
在一班致力塑造新世界的工程師的推動下，一場工程學革命正在全球各地進行中。他們不斷突破科技界限，設計出一部又一部改寫人類生活的超凡機器，目標是攜手創建一個更潔淨、更環保的未來世界。
人類史上面對過最大的科技挑戰，就是嘗試利用核聚變作為終極能源方案，這個做法被喻為「將恆星裝進瓶子」。過程中可謂困難重重，藉核聚變反應爐來產生能源的目標，到目前為止仍然看不見盡頭。

It is the greatest technological challenge ever undertaken by humankind. The quest to produce the ultimate energy solution…Fusion. It’s been called ‘bottling a star but so immense are the challenges, the goal of a power producing fusion reactor has so far remained elusive and out of reach….until now.
