Astronomy and Aeronautics!

This week we hear how scientists at the CSIR in South Africa are helping model and develop more accurate aeroplanes to make air travel more efficient, and how radio telescopes within the country have been modified for more precision. We also hear how not all fat cells are created as equals, a new form of implantable glucose sensor, how lillies use odour to trick pollinating fruit flies, and an insight into why women glow, yet men perspire! Plus, we stare up at the moon, in Question of the week!
