[ZapperZ]

From today's Argonne's Newsletter:

Argonne's Laser Applications Lab and researcher Claude Reed (NE) will appear in the History Channel program "Modern Marvels: Drilling" Wednesday, May 10, at 9 p.m.

The Argonne portion of the program, which will last one or two minutes, will appear near the end of the hour-long show.

"Modern Marvels" relates the ingenuity, invention and imagination behind everyday items, technological breakthroughs and man-made wonders.

Check cable listings for channel information.

Modern Marvels on campus to interview Epstein

Arthur Epstein, Distinguished University Professor in the Departments of Physics and Chemistry, is known for his work with polymers – especially those with unusual properties, such as magnetism. Last week, representatives from Modern Marvels, which airs on the History Channel, were here to interview Epstein in his lab for a program about cutting edge technology in the world of magnets. “They were here for nearly five hours and were very professional about it,” he said. “My understanding is that the half hour episodes will likely have five segments portraying the world of modern magnets (including takes at three companies in Ohio). Our work will be in the last segment and have the perspective of "the future of magnetism." How much of Ohio State will be featured is up to the series editor, so the final version won’t be known until closer to the air date, probably later in the spring.

Certainly. This thread is for tooting all of our favorite facilities appearing on TV!

My company will be part of a National Geographic series on inventions. I am not quite sure how long it takes to go from filming to air. They were at our facilities about 3 or 4 months ago.

The Modern Marvels episode about the meat industry interviewed some professor at my university about meat and meat-related topics.
