You've seen our scientists get to grips with the challenges, using only their wits, some bits - and their scientific knowledge. But what are the principles that let them pull off their challenges? Join us, week by week, for a closer look what was going on...
Inside power - While working to get their electricity and gas up and running, the team are reliant on candle power. But what's the science converting a lump of wax into light?
