- Our technique for creating artificial tektites led to invited presentations at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting (San Francisco, 2014), the International Conference on Materials Processing in Magnetic Fields (Brown University ,2016), the International Meeting of Japanese Magnetoscience Society (Tsukuba, 2016) and Dynamics Days (Loughborough, 2016). This work was further covered by Physics World (https://physicsworld.com/a/magnetic-levitation-spins-up-waxy-tektites-in-the-lab/), phys.org (https://phys.org/news/2015-01-levitation-recreates-nature-dumbbells.html), and the University of Nottingham press office (https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/news/pressreleases/2015/january/levitation-recreates-natures-dumbbells.aspx) and led to a YouTube video on the popular science channel hosted by Steve Mould (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdJVgZ7ivTE), gathering over 210k views.
