The magnetism of magnetism
The magnetism of magnetism
Presented by Dr Alexy Karenowska
Magnetism is a physical phenomenon that we encounter every day. And yet there is something inescapably far from everyday about it.
In this talk we explore the ways in which our desire to unpick the tantalizing mysteriousness of magnetism has shaped—and continues to shape—science and technology as we know it.
