Dr Alfredo Zafra reveals hydrogen’s double-edged potential—how this clean fuel of the future could corrode the very metals that carry it, and what engineers are doing to stop it. Then, Dr Veerle Brans takes you into the world of bubbles, bones, and back pain, where ultrasound technology and cavitation are revolutionising medicine—from targeted drug delivery to breaking kidney stones. Expect energy, engineering, and a few popping surprises. 2025-05-20T00:00:00 2025-05-20T00:00:00 18.30 - 21.00 St Aldates Tavern, 108 St Aldate's, Oxford OX1 1BU Tue, 20 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://eng.ox.ac.uk/events/pint-of-science-2025
