Gravity Fields 2016

Dr Mike Fay from the NMRC visited Isaac Newton's family home at the National Trust owned Woolsthorpe Manor on Thursday 22nd September, to give a public lecture on Nanotechnology as part of the third biennial Gravity Fields Festival based in and around Grantham. Introduced by Grantham-born Prof Val Gibson (University of Cambridge), Mike Fay's talk to a large audience in the festival marquee was a very well received part of a very successful Festival.

This year's festival marked the 350th anniversary of Newton's "Year of Wonders", of huge scientific advances with his work on light, mathematics, and gravitational forces that largely took place at Woolsthorpe Manor, Newton having spent the year away from Cambridge due to the outbreak of the plague.
