Professor Jim Al-Khalili tells the story of our quest to master nature's most mysterious force -
electricity. Until fairly recently it was seen as a magical power, but it is now the lifeblood of
the modern world and underpins every aspect of our technological advancements. This series tells of
dazzling leaps of imagination and extraordinary experiments - a story of maverick geniuses who used
electricity to light our cities, to communicate across the seas and through the air, to create
modern industry and to give us the digital revolution.

3. Revelations and Revolutions
Electricity is not just something that creates heat and light, it connects the world through
networks and broadcasting. After centuries of man's experiments with electricity, the final episode
tells the story of how a new age of real understanding dawned - how we discovered electric fields
and electromagnetic waves. Today we can hardly imagine life without electricity - it defines our
era. As our understanding of it has increased so has our reliance upon it, and today we're on the
brink of a new breakthrough, because if we can understand the secret of electrical superconductivity
we could again transform the world.
