Pint of Science: Diamonds, cats and rollercoasters
...and who said physics was boring?! Join scientists from Warwick for this diamante studded event where we'll be exploring some ingenious research going on in Warwick's Physics department. Want to know how to make a diamond appear in two places at once? How your engagement ring might be put to work elsewhere? How about how they make rollercoasters safe yet spine-tingly satisfying? This is the event for you!
