“A thrilling account of the modern material world.” —Wall Street Journal
"Miodownik, a materials scientist, explains the history and science behind things such as paper, glass, chocolate, and concrete with an infectious enthusiasm." —Scientific American
Why is glass see-through? What makes elastic stretchy? Why does any material look and behave the way it does? These are the sorts of questions that renowned materials scientist Mark Miodownik constantly asks himself. Miodownik studies objects as ordinary as an envelope and as unexpected as concrete cloth, uncovering the fascinating secrets that hold together our physical world. In Stuff Matters, Miodownik explores the materials he encounters in a typical morning, from the steel in his razor to the foam in his sneakers. Full of enthralling tales of the miracles of engineering that permeate our lives, Stuff Matters will make you see stuff in a whole new way.
"Stuff Matters is about hidden wonders, the astonishing properties of materials we think boring, banal, and unworthy of attention...It's possible this science and these stories have been told elsewhere, but like the best chocolatiers, Miodownik gets the blend right." —New York Times Book Review
从茶杯、喷气发动机到家用电器、内裤,我们的生活充满了材料。但你想过没有,为什么玻璃是透明的?是什么让橡皮筋有弹性?为什么曲别针会弯曲?为什么不锈钢不生锈?为什么某一种材料做成的东西会长那样?
世界材料学大师带你用材料科学家的眼睛,以全新的方式看待你身边的每一样东西:钢、纸、混凝土、巧克力、塑料、玻璃、瓷器……
本书以渊博的知识和极富感染力的文字写就。它不仅揭露了各种物质背后的神奇结构,还告诉我们隐藏在背后的精采故事。每一章介绍一种材料,辅以照片和手绘图,极富可读性和趣味性
