Can a particle accelerator only function if the entire audience stops breathing?
In short: Experience the pilot episode of DemoJam, a unique fusion of scientific demonstrations, fireside conversation, and song hosted by mathematician Matt Parker.
Recorded at the Royal Institution on Wednesday 26 October 2011, DemoJam 0 features a series of science-themed demonstrations. The program explores diverse topics, ranging from complex optics and the biology of a rhinovirus to a particle accelerator experiment that requires the room to hold its breath to work.
The event brings together a multidisciplinary group of experts, including physicist Suzie Sheehy, biologist Stephen Curry, and Dr Ben Craven, alongside the musical contributions of Jonny Berliner.
