Airs: Wednesdays at 8pm on 2 Take the DNA of Wired magazine, for 15 years the first word on how science and technology are changing the world. Add the giant-robot might of PBS. Apply electricity. Result: WIRED SCIENCE, a new weekly series that brings the magazine’s compelling journalism and groundbreaking aesthetic to public television.

Armed with state-of-the-art animation and a dash of irreverence, WIRED SCIENCE correspondents will untangle complex research and introduce the high-tech mavericks defining 21st-century culture and innovation. The show won’t be limited to the airwaves — WIRED SCIENCE's web site will expand the broadcast stories with video, blogs, columns, and interviews.

WIRED SCIENCE will combine reportage and narrative from Wired with stories developed by the show’s producers to create a fast-paced weekly series. Field correspondents will work on location, and two hosts will present in-studio content including interviews, explanations, and how-to segments. The core subjects will be as varied as those covered in the magazine — anything from brain-scanning lie detectors and unmanned aerial vehicles to how homeland security fears are changing the contents of kids’ chemistry sets.
