Clothes that monitor your mood. What will the future bring, and what will it be made of? In NOVA's four-hour series, 'Making Stuff,' popular New York Times technology reporter David Pogue takes viewers on a fun-filled tour of the material world we live in, and the one that may lie ahead. Get a behind-the-scenes look at scientific innovations ushering in a new generation of materials that are stronger, smaller, cleaner, and smarter than anything we've ever seen.
