In this episode of Physics World Weekly podcast, Physics World’s Tushna Commissariat and Matin Durrani have a lively discussion about two new physics-related films – biopics of Hedy Lamarr and Abdus Salam. The former was a Hollywood star and the latter a Nobel-prize winning physicist, yet their remarkable lives had striking similarities.

Also, Physics World’s Susan Curtis explains how cuprate superconductors become stranger and stranger the more physicists learn about them.
