The Chemistry of Star Wars
21 Albemarle Street , London, W1S 4BS
Description
In a galaxy far, far away, there is a Star Wars universe packed with captivating science, from the biology of alien species to the astrophysics of hyperspace.
But what about chemistry? Does science fiction meet science fact when we consider chemistry on Hoth or Naboo?
To celebrate May the Fourth, join award-winning chemist Alex Baker, as he returns to the Ri to explore the freezing of Han Solo, the colours of lightsabers, the reactions that power star ships and much more. Buckle up and prepare to be transported on a planet-hopping journey of chemical exploration that uncovers the real-world science that inspires Star Wars.
