    Episode 1: Death Ray
    Jun 9 2025

    In this episode of Making Science, Tom Whipple, Science Editor at the Times, explores the strange history of a 'death ray’ that promised to change modern war fare forever.


    In 1924, engineer and inventor Harry Grindell Matthews claimed to have created a beam that could stop an engine, ignite gunpowder, and incapacitate enemy soldiers from up to four miles away.


    Harry Grindell Matthews never revealed how his technology worked and few had seen the ray in action. So was it true? Perhaps the science of electromagnetic spectrum holds the answer.
