Episode Synopsis
The Overground gets kind of...gross. It's not every day that we learn the secret of turning lead to gold is...wait for it...urine. Also, phosphorus. We’re running out of phosphorus! University to the rescue! Wait. Did that say "urine?" *Note: The featured technology does not nano-bind Phosphorus, but instead holds the water to prevent phosphorus leeching.
