Description

This episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast explores how physics can be used as a force for good – helping society address important challenges such as climate change, sustainable development, and improving health.


Our guest is the Swiss physicist Christophe Rossel, who is a former president of the European Physical Society (EPS) and an emeritus scientist at IBM Research in Zurich.


Rossel is a co-editor and co-author of the book EPS Grand Challenges, which looks at how science and physics can help drive positive change in society and raise standards of living worldwide as we approach the middle of the century. The huge tome weighs in at 829 pages, was written by 115 physicists and honed by 13 co-editors.


Rossel talks to Physics World’s Matin Durrani about the intersection of science and society and what physicists can do to make the world a better place.
