Leon Rosenfeld conducted groundbreaking research in physics. He is also barely known. Together, host Stephanie Hood and historian of physics Bernadette Lessel go on a search for clues throughout Rosenfeld's life: What made his research so important, during a time when the field of physics itself went through a significant shift? How can looking at its history change physics today? And why are some people better remembered than others?
