On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Could rust be the secret to next-gen computing technology? Current silicon-based computing technology is incredibly energy-inefficient and with climate change still a major challenge for humanity, finding ways to decarbonise tech is an obvious target for energy savings. Could rust provide the answer? In this talk, explore how the magnetic properties of oxides of common metals like iron (aka rust) might offer a solution, and learn how inspiration for this exciting research came from the most unlikely of sources: cosmic strings.
