This six-part series delves deep into the extraordinary origin of an ordinary kitchen gadget: the microwave.
On this journey through science history, you will learn not only about the invention of the microwave itself, but also about all the scientific discoveries and innovations that made that invention possible. You'll travel across the ocean on an invisible light beam. You'll ride in the cockpit of a Second World War fighter plane. And you will literally get egg on your face.
A new installment of this series will appear in every new issue of YES
Mag in 2006. They will also be archived on this web site, so that you
can catch any you might have missed. Simply select an installment from the
orange bar to start reading! |
