Science magazine aimed at a general audience which sets out to answer two questions: what is science today in terms of outlook, method and research? What is the relationship between science and society?

Each episode is made up of five items:
1- Seeing: an image or a series of images shown by scientists or resulting from their work.
2- Animation: this allows subjects to be dealt with that cannot be illustrated with filmed sequences; it adds an element of fun and imagination.
3- Experiments: scientists at work.
4- Talking Heads: a scientist speaks directly to viewers about scientific questions thrown up by his work.
5- Science and society: how science contributes to (or undermines) reality as it is perceived by the viewer.
