Science Sunday!
I thought I’d do another assortment today, instead of a single theme.
First up: “Shaping Things to Come”, with Professor Eric Laithwaite of Imperial College London. Professor Laithwaite sounds like an interesting guy: he was one of the pioneers of maglev technology, did a lot of work on electric motors (specifically linear induction motors)…and had some rather eccentric ideas about gyroscopes and moths.
I just love the way this video opens. I don’t know how you could get more British than this.
Bonus: for something a little different, Alan Holden of Bell Labs explains crystals.
