The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) covers the 110 years of history of Instituto Superior Técnico, through its past, present and future objects.
A collection of objects related to different fields, such as science, music, arts and sports, is the starting point for conversations with people who will tell us more about the history of these objects.
A new episode is released every week. The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) is part of the Público newspaper podcasts.
Today’s episode (#97) – June 9, 2023: “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) – Faraday’s rotating experiment.
It’s probably older than Técnico. This electromagnet was created at the beginning of the 20th century and reproduces an experiment discovered in a London laboratory at the end of the previous century. It was the first demonstration of the interaction of a magnetic field with light, known as rotation or the Faraday effect. Almost a century later, it would have unforeseeable consequences in the field of microwaves and would allow millions of people to listen to music or watch movies with CD and DVD players. The experiment that paved the way for all this can still be replicated today at the Faraday Museum, at Técnico – Alameda campus.
