Master of materials

Mark Miodownik loves stuff. As a materials scientist and engineer, he gets a kick out of answering questions like what your skin might have in common with ceramics, or metal for that matter? And, why do materials behave the way they do or feel different to the touch? Listen in as Mark talks about the wondrous world of materials.

Mark has written a book about all the stuff we interact with every day. His book is called Stuff Matters, and was recently awarded the Royal Society Winton Prize for Science Books.
