A New York Times Bestseller
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.
Mark Miodownik is Professor of Materials and Society at University College London and the Director of the UCL Institute of Making. He was chosen by The Times as one of the top 100 most influential scientists in the UK. Miodownik is a broadcaster known best for giving the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures broadcast on BBC4. Miodownik is also a writer on science and engineering issues, a presenter of documentaries and a collaborator in interactive museum events.

評分比較淺,不過寫得挺有意思的
評分略失望,因為是科普書,本以為會更有趣一些。隨便翻翻可以,知道美刀不是木頭,而是棉花做的,還有狗不能吃巧剋力。
評分挺有意思的材料科學科普書,竟然還有一章講巧剋力的簡直都餓瞭

科普类《10種物質改變世界》,Stuff Matters:Exploring the Marvelous Materials That Shape Our Man-Made World,作者Mark Miodownik 。科普类图书是我的最爱。我厌倦了中国古代史中帝王将相为了争夺权力打打杀杀,看不到这种争斗对人类有任何帮助。一个社会的历史不仅是一部...
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...
