Royal Institution Christmas Lectures 2002:
Smart Stuff booklet
In the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures 2002, Professor Anthony
Ryan of Sheffield University explains the molecular miracles behind
the everyday objects that define our modern world. From the planes,
trains and trainers that get us from A to B, to the tasty burgers
and chips that refuel our bodies, everything around us is the product
of ingenious chemical wizardry.
This booklet, published to accompany the
broadcasts of the lectures on Channel 4, follows Professor Ryan's
account of the chemical know-how needed to understand life today,
from mixing ice cream to sending text messages on mobile phones,
and to better face the future.
