Our free, week-long festival (Monday 4 July - Sunday 10 July) features 22 curated exhibits and a series of inspiring talks and activities for all ages. https://royalsociety.org/events/summer-science-exhibition/ From ice-cream to magma, the powerful technology giving us eyes to see inside objects in 4D. The properties of materials depend on their internal structure across many scales, from the nano to the macro. The shape of these structures is controlled by how the material is made. Our exhibit shows how we’ve used 4D synchrotron X-ray tomography of magma to better understand volcanic eruptions, and of ice crystals, to work out why some ice cream tastes better!
