Animate matter is coming; concrete that can communicate when it is about to collapse , smart hip replacements that can self heal , and working invisibility shields – such innovations are imminent.
The talk will cover the science and engineering behind such materials innovations and argue for a more multidisciplinary approach to materials design.
Professor Miodownik is from the Department of Materials, University College London.
Talk begins at 7.30pm
