OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

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.
