PBS special turns down the heat

“Making Stuff Colder,” the latest episode of the PBS series “NOVA,” will air 8 p.m. Wednesday and will feature researchers and staff from the University’s Texas Center for Superconductivity.

In June, host David Pogue and his team visited the University and TCS-UH, where they shot footage of the research and technology being used to reduce temperatures to improve efficiency and combat global warming, according to a UH press release.

“Can we turn our old enemy – the cold – into a force for good?” the PBS trailer said.

Physics professor Paul Chu and his team were interviewed and will appear in the episode.

The episode is the first of the New York Times’ technology columnist David Pogue’s four-part special, “Making More Stuff with David Pogue.”
