The Second Kind of Impossible: Lecture & Book Signing

This talk is about one of the strangest scientific detective stories of the last 50 years, an exciting quest for a new form of matter.

It begins with a curious geometric pattern that inspires two theoretical physicists to propose a radically new type of matter—one that raises the possibility of new materials with never before seen properties, but that violates laws set...
