So how can we make informed decisions in materials selection and new material developments to ensure that progress and solutions are heading in the right direction.

Bach, the Universe & Everything – Seeing Life in a New Light
Bach is often praised by scientists for the intricate structures and symmetries in his music. He wrote more than 200 cantatas, a collection of vocal works which explore questions of faith, time and eternity. Taking inspiration from Douglas Adams’ quote that ‘Bach tells you what it’s like to be the universe’, this unusual series from the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and The Institute of Physics at Kings Place swaps metaphysics for physics to celebrate extraordinary universe and the music of Bach with some of Britain’s brightest scientists.
