- DiamagnetismEvery ordinary substance — water, wood, glass, a frog — is very weakly repelled by a magnet. Anton Brugmans noticed it in a piece of bismuth in 1778; Michael Faraday proved in November 1845 that it is a property of all matter and gave it a name; and in 1997 Andre Geim floated a live frog on the strength of it. The 250-year story of the weakest form of magnetism, and of what people have built on it since.
- Chaos TheoryOrder hidden in disorder — the science of the butterfly effect. From Poincaré and Lorenz to fractals, strange attractors and the Mandelbrot set: how simple rules produce endless, beautiful unpredictability.
- Deep-Sea ExplorationInto the abyss — the machines, explorers and creatures of the deep ocean, from HMS Challenger and the bathysphere to Alvin, the Titanic, hydrothermal vents and the ROVs mapping the sea floor today.
