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.
具體描述
讀後感
自古江山社稷，靠两样东西实现征服——书/文、剑/武。 书的材料是纸，剑的材料是钢铁，所以很大程度上，纸和钢造就了历史。那么，什么造就了纸和钢呢？ 这两样东西恰好是《迷人的材料——10种改变世界的神奇物质和它们背后的科学故事》的开篇两章。此书是材料科学领域的科普佳...
評分文/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...
評分我约着山猫还有倩一起去看维康收藏馆（Wellcome Collection）的展览，没想到闭馆了。路过门口的海报的时候，倩对山猫说，啊，展品原来是他们的老师谁谁谁做的。 这本小书的英文名叫《Stuff Matter: The Strange Stories of the Marvellous Materials that Shape Our Man-Made W...
評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...
評分了解点材料学，你会知道这些说法是多么可笑： 阿胶是“水煮驴皮”，茅台和二锅头没什么区别，周黑鸭不就是甜辣吗谁不会做？ 因为，原子的排列方式、微小的外来元素、原料的配比差异、制作的工艺流程，都会改变材料的性质。尤其是食用类的，不一样的制作方法，得出的是不一样的...
用戶評價
比較淺，不過寫得挺有意思的
评分第一次對material science有這麼生動的認識。文筆極佳。科普力薦
评分a piece of short, fun and easy read
评分通俗易懂
评分作者居然有種詩人氣質，太意外瞭。尤其是紙那一章體現的淋灕盡緻，單獨拿齣來絕對想不到作者是個材料學傢。全書在對過去時代的懷念和落入批判現代生活的窠臼間找到瞭平衡。
