Materials science laboratory, 1953
Materials science laboratory. Laboratory technicians analysing and adjusting the equipment in a materials science laboratory. This equipment is designed to measure creep, which is where a material placed under a load continues to change shape and structure over time. This is one of many aspects analysed by researchers measuring the effects of force on objects (force metrology). Photographed at the National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, UK, in 1953

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1953, inside a bustling materials science laboratory at the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington, UK. The image showcases a group of dedicated laboratory technicians deeply engrossed in their work of analyzing and adjusting equipment. Their focus is on measuring creep, a phenomenon where materials placed under load continue to change shape and structure over time. These researchers are part of an extensive study on force metrology, examining how different objects react to external forces. With pens in hand and intense concentration etched on their faces, they meticulously record their findings as they manipulate the technological apparatus before them. The historical significance of this photograph lies not only in its depiction of early 20th-century scientific research but also in capturing the human aspect behind these advancements. Amongst the team stands a diverse group of individuals - men and women alike - united by their passion for understanding the physical world through mathematics and experimentation. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the immense contributions made by scientists like those pictured here who have paved the way for modern-day materials science. This image serves as a testament to both British ingenuity and our never-ending quest for knowledge about our surroundings.
