Serdeczne podziękowania dla naszego nauczyciela chemii, dra Marka Kelly’ego za fascynujący, pół-internetowy wykład na temat węgla! Był to również pierwszy wykład z serii Akademeia Faculty Lecture w bieżącym roku szkolnym, wkrótce więcej!
O wykładzie:
„Human beings have been using products made from carbon for centuries. Our use of carbon-based materials is evolving, as new products are being developed that are changing our everyday lives. As our world is changing, we must move with it. In the lecture, I will explore the chemistry of some carbon-based materials and discuss how they are synthesised. I will try to uncover why we have such an attachment to certain carbon-based products that we could use less of, as well as exciting uses of materials in our present and future.”
