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.
