What happens in the microscale doesn’t stay in the microscale
Manage episode 337187365 series 3379942
Common phenomena, observed by most in their daily experience, can be surprisingly misunderstood and even mysterious! Genuine curiosity, an open mind, and good dose of creativity are the necessary ingredients for the most exciting scientific discoveries. This is the take-home message of our fascinating discussion with Dr. Lauren Zarzar, who studies microscale systems and their macroscopic effects. We find out what is behind the iridescence at the air-water interface, how this can be reproduced and controlled with many different types of emulsions, and how it could be used in novel paints and display technologies. We also discuss 3D printing at the nanoscale using lasers and how this can revolutionize materials science. The work of Dr. Zarzar is yet another great demonstration of how great science happens at the interface between different disciplines, with chemistry usually being one of them.
