Everything around us is made of ‘stuff’. But what is it, exactly?
Jim Baggott explores our changing understanding of the nature of matter, from the ancient Greeks to the development of quantum field theory and the discovery of the Higgs boson.
Jim is an award-winning science writer. He trained as a scientist, completing a doctorate in chemical physics at the University of Oxford in the early 80s, before embarking on post-doctoral research studies at Oxford and at Stanford University in California. He was a lecturer in chemistry at the University of Reading for 5 years before leaving academia to join the business world.
