Battle of the Elements finale, how to succeed in the space industry, a very hot superconductor

12 Sep 2019 Hamish Johnston

In this episode of our weekly podcast we talk about the remarkable career of Libby Jackson, who is human exploration manager at the UK Space Agency.

Sparks fly when carbon meets oxygen in the grand finale of the Battle of the Elements, which features a guest appearance by Chemistry World’s Patrick Walter.

The discussion heats-up when we ponder the significance of a material that could be a superconductor at temperatures well above the boiling point of water – and other hot physics news this week.
