BBC News
The mechanics of "dad dancing" and clothes that clean the air are two of the subjects which will be tackled at this year's Edinburgh Science Festival.
In the Olympic year, the two-week long festival will also take an in-depth look at the science of human physical activity.
The festival runs from 30 March to 15 April.
Ahead of the festival an associated photography exhibition has opened in St Andrew Square.
It features biomedical imaging and astronomy, subjects not normally visible to the human eye.
The Science Festival's flagship production InMotion, which will be held at the National Museum of Scotland, will explore subjects from fitness and power, to the science and aesthetics of movement.
