<p>Jana and her classmates participate in a class field trip to the Materials Research Center, where they learn about a brand new material with amazing properties. Jana's older sister Maria, a graduate student, prepares for a big opportunity resulting from her research breakthrough. Followed by "Behind the Science: Searching for Answers." </p><p>Magnetic Fields is a four part web series from writer-director John Isberg and producer and physics professor Nadya Mason. The series is centered around Jana (Neenah Williams), a high school student working to complete her science project while dealing with pressures of school, escaping the shadow of her older sister Maria (Jessica Limardo) who is pursuing a phd in physics, and the mysteries surrounding her father's (Pete Barrett) disappearance. </p><p>Sponsored by the National Science Foundation, through the Illinois Materials Research Science and Engineering Center under NSF Award Number DMR-1720633.
