Bend and twist Nitinol, a memory metal that returns to its original shape when you add hot air. Zoom from the macro to the nano scale and find out how scientists "feel atoms" using Atomic Force Microscopes. Watch a column of foam grow towards the ceiling and learn about its remarkable composition.
Discover how high-tech materials become the stuff of everyday life by interacting with one of the world’s hardest substances, investigating the unusual structure of magnetic ferrofluid, and even uncovering how sand led to the computer revolution.
