Understanding Superconductivity in Cuprates (June 29, 2015)

Front

Technological advancements over the last few decades have dramatically changed the nature of exploration, opening up vast new worlds while minimizing our physical involvement in their investigation. Jeff Marlow, a Geobiology PhD student at Caltech, will lead a journey from the deep sea, to the volcanoes of Vanuatu, and to the dusty plains of Mars in order to show how modern exploration happens. How do robots affect the science, the experience, and the soul of exploration, and what will they mean for its future?Produced in association with Caltech Academic Media Technologies. © 2015 California Institute of Technology
