几年前第一次经历露营,没有什么好的装备,全身最有用的工具是一把小铁锹,我们用它挖坑埋石以便固定帐篷,再找来干草松针铺在地上当作睡觉时的隔热层。在荒野里一开始很不习惯,夜里很难睡着,和大家闲聊之余我掀开帐篷一个小角,看着漫天繁星缓缓移动,心心念念着自己家里蓬...
评分作者安排他的内容很有趣。通过一张在天台喝茶看书的照片来对照片中出现的各种材料进行解释。 而且解释的文字通俗易懂,很容易看下去,让我这个没有化学功底的人也很愉快的一页接着翻下一页。可以从文字中看出来作者对每种材料真心的热爱,甚至为人们忽视它们的美而感到惋惜,好...
评分“太上老君想要炼了孙悟空必须先将炼丹炉的技术提高一个层面。那时候炼丹炉是煤炭炉,最高只能达到1200℃左右,而孙悟空是石猴,主要成分二氧化硅,熔点1600℃左右,当然炼不掉。一切靠数据说话。” 在知乎上搜索“材料科学”这个话题,会出现一个很逗趣的热门问题:关于材料...
评分文/赵焕发 早晨起来洗漱,用吉列刀片刮去杂乱的胡须,猛地意识到,自己被神秘的材料包围着。 就这个样子,整个人感觉都不太好了,我们的确生活在材料之中,我们住在钢筋混凝土的森林里,我们乘坐各种铁皮怪物穿行在城市之中,我们每天和各种各样的纸张打交道,也许刚刚用十块...
评分人类过去漫长的历史长河中,有许多伟大惊心动魄的战争、权力之争等各类事件,当我们回首这些,也许会发现,不管当时它多么波澜壮阔,对今天我们生活水平的影响,都可能微乎其微。唯独历史上的科技成就,我们仍在享受它的恩泽,比如冶金、造纸、种植水稻等等。 吴军老师有句话说...

An eye-opening adventure deep inside the everyday materials that surround us, packed with surprising stories and fascinating science
Why is glass see-through? What makes elastic stretchy? Why does a paper clip bend? Why does any material look and behave the way it does? These are the sorts of questions that Mark Miodownik is constantly asking himself. A globally-renowned materials scientist, Miodownik has spent his life exploring 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 entertainingly examines the materials he encounters in a typical morning, from the steel in his razor and the graphite in his pencil to the foam in his sneakers and the concrete in a nearby skyscraper. He offers a compendium of the most astounding histories and marvelous scientific breakthroughs in the material world, including:
The imprisoned alchemist who saved himself from execution by creating the first European porcelain.
The hidden gem of the Milky Way, a planet five times the size of Earth, made entirely of diamond.
Graphene, the thinnest, strongest, stiffest material in existence—only a single atom thick—that could be used to make entire buildings sensitive to touch.
From the teacup to the jet engine, the silicon chip to the paper clip, the plastic in our appliances to the elastic in our underpants, our lives are overflowing with materials. 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.
好看!每章科普一种材料的制作方法和原子结构所决定的性能,特别有意思!!作者开篇和结尾都爱用个人逸事,所以干货比例不是最大,可以看得飞快
评分好多词不认识的情况下差点弃书了
