In this week's programme we look at the latest earth like exoplanets, are they cool enough to support life? Also, creating the fuel of the future using lessons from nature - a way to make hydrogen directly from sunlight. We examine the conditions under which aquatic mammals, in particular whales, might get decompression sickness, a condition found in human divers. We hear how the evolution of elephant's foot bones means they tip toe around, as if they are wearing high heels.
