Everyday Miracles

History & Personalities

Prof. Mark Miodownik brings his enthusiasm to the jewels of mass production. He shows that some of the everyday objects that are often taken for granted are little pieces of domestic magic, and looks at how materials have enabled us to indulge our curiosity about the world around us. Using dramatic experiments in the lab and on-the-road footage, he reveals the everyday miracles that have transformed our lives.
