SUMMARY:Mind-blowing Advances in Materials Science
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Professor Mark Miodownik\n University College London  \nMark Miodownik is a pioneering materials scientist fascinated by how the stuff of our world—metals\, ceramics\, polymers\, biomaterials—shapes human experience. His work celebrates the hidden stories inside everyday objects and explores how emerging materials can transform sustainability\, medicine\, and technology. Today’s mind-blowing advances in materials science—from self-healing structures to programmable matter and bio-inspired materials—reflect the curiosity and creativity Miodownik champions\, revealing a future where smarter\, greener\, and more responsive materials redefine what’s possible. \nMark Miodownik’s books vividly reflect his deep passion for materials and their hidden magic. Stuff Matters—a bestselling\, award-winning exploration of everyday materials—and Liquid: The Delightful and Dangerous Substances That Flow Through Our Lives both reveal his ability to turn complex science into gripping\, human-centred stories.  \nIf you are not already subscribed\, subscription is free and you will receive joining details and news about forthcoming Leading Edge meetings https://u3acommunities.org/subscribe-to-leading-edge/
