Ahead of live shows at du Forum on Yas Island at the end of this week as part of Abu Dhabi Summer Season, the star of the fascinating TV phenomenon, "Mythbusters", Adam Savage, took some time out from preparing his entertaining experiments to explore Masdar Institute of Science and Technology, within the emirate's ground-breaking Masdar City.

Adam ventured deep into the inner workings of the facility, which conducts research into alternative energy, environmental sustainability, and clean technology, to meet students and check out the scientific set-up of the labs in the Institute.

The graduate-level university is part of the sprawling Masdar City, a specialised research and technology-intensive municipality on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi City, which will ultimately incorporate a living environment.

Adam will bring his signature style of explosive experimentation to du Forum from August 13th - 15th, presented by Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority, TCA Abu Dhabi, and organised by Alchemy Project.
