Imperial/42: Spring 2017
You are your brain. In this issue, we delve into one of science’s final frontiers and investigate the mystery of the mind. We also learn how blockchain – the former enfant terrible of finance – has reinvented itself; why nothing new at the Large Hadron Collider could be huge for big physics; and hear from Professor Naomi Chayen about the magic of crystallography.
