How is data sent safely online, and how can we keep prying eyes away?

We also reveal the dangers of wifi as we find out what your mobile phone is revealing about you. Plus the genetic basis of movement, a new form of flexible battery and, in our Question of the Week, how one telephone line can have multiple uses! Like this podcast?
