Episode 20: 3D Mummies

By CGTN EUROPE

This week on RAZOR, Shini Somara speaks to mechanical engineer Richard Johnston, a professor at the Materials Research Centre, Swansea University to find out about a collaboration between jet engineers and Egyptologists. 

Their work gives a detailed look into the past and promises great innovations in the future. Johnston explains how analyzing ancient mummies can lead to advances in mechanical engineering, including how jet engines are designed [03:30]. He also tells us how the collaboration developed by accident and where he thinks his technology will be useful in the future [11:01]. 

In what’s exciting us in science this week, Emma Keeling explains why octopuses might help transplant surgeries and Somara explains how AI can help treat tumors.
