The Chemistry of Things unveils the chemistry hidden in our day-to-day lives and shows us how the recent developments of Science contribute to the welfare of Society. Everything around us, in Nature and elsewhere is made of “chemicals”. Chemistry is in the basis of Life and has a fundamental role on modern society, sometimes in surprising ways and in unexpected “things”. “Things” that lay at the distance of a “click” on the several platforms of this project.
The Chemistry of Things is available on multiple platforms and formats: A series of 26 episodes for television broadcasted on RTP2 (Portuguese National Television) and SIC K, Official website, Facebook, Twitter and other social networks, Application for iPad, Collectible brochures + DVD, iBook.
This project is based on an original idea by Paulo Ribeiro Claro (University of Aveiro) and developed by the Science Office and Duvideo Filmes.
The Chemistry of Things was produced by the Science Office for the University of Aveiro in the framework of the International Year of Chemistry 2011 and funded by COMPETE – Competitive Factors Operational Programme and by Ciência Viva, Media Science Programme.
