Technology reporting from laboratories and real-world projects
Tech Now is a BBC News technology magazine exploring innovations affecting daily life. Its reports range across artificial intelligence, robotics, health, climate, transport and gaming. Rather than building one continuous documentary narrative, the programme brings together field reporting on different projects and the people developing or using them.
Brain Cells and Biocomputing follows Zoe Kleinman to Switzerland to meet researchers working with living brain cells, alongside Adrienne Murray's report on green-methanol production in Denmark. Movie Tech: Behind the Scenes pairs a visit to a studio changing car-stunt filming with reporting on rare-earth resources in Greenland.
From clothing sizes to environmental observation
Other reports examine an AI approach to inconsistent fashion sizing and organ-on-chip technology for medical research. Climate coverage includes work on predicting sea-level rise, while transport stories look at icebreaker design and space-industry start-ups. The editorial range connects consumer problems with much larger scientific and infrastructure questions.
The BBC's wildfire episode follows Shiona McCallum in Cairngorms National Park to see technology used to monitor fire damage. Across these subjects, the magazine format allows a specific demonstration or research visit to explain an emerging technology without implying that every prototype is already a finished, widely deployed product.
