Dive into the world of materials science through our collection of table-top displays and interactive activities to find out how our world-leading science drives tomorrow’s technologies. You will have the opportunity to discover how new materials help to save energy, learn how windows can generate electricity and make a metal wire change shape without touching it! Our activities are suitable for all ages, and researchers will be on hand to explain what’s going on and answer your questions.
