Bang! Week ten
Our long, strange trip through science comes to the end of its first series.
The team take on more scientific challenges. Jem Stansfield decides to build a rocket powered by toffee and then thinks it would be a good idea to ride it.
Liz Bonnin investigates our sense of smell and whether it can make us smarter. Dr Yan Wong demonstrates the connection between electricity and magnetism. And Dallas Campbell explains nuclear fusion by going to the circus.

Nuclear fusion
Power from the waves
If we don't want nuclear and can't have oil, will the resources of the coast keep us plugged in?
A fresh look
Joe Smith wonders if the changing planet means it's time to say "nuclear power, yes please"?
Solution or problem?
Splitting atoms to generate electricity may not contribute to global warming, but are there drawbacks to using nuclear power?

Toffee rocket
We have blast-off
You might get a lot of thrust, but it's at the expense of control. Fireworks, moonshots - and Geeks - rely on the same rocket science.
