Description

A look at the very latest chemistry research which could impact our lives in the near future. Chemist Dr Andrea Sella shows us how all aspects of chemistry, from nanotechnology through to sustainable fuels, will change the way we live.We visit the NSQI centre in Bristol, in which a state-of-the-art building has been constructed which is completely vibration free, enabling chemists to study at the molecular level.We then travel to Exeter to find out about graphene - a material which looks set to change the world of electronics beyond recognition, enabling flexible electronics and quantum computers.Dr Terry Kee explains how his research is giving us an insight into how life first formed at a chemical level, before we turn our attention to the future, looking at how a simple compound has opened the doorway to finding a way of producing sustainable hydrogen.
