Description
Did you know that absolutely everything in the Universe (the stars in the sky, the ground beneath our feet, the pages of this book and even you reading these words) is made up of only 92 ingredients? These "bricks" are called elements. In this book, you will learn about all the elements that have been discovered so far: there are 92 present in nature and 26 created by humans. You will also understand what makes each element unique, its role and the ingenious uses that man has imagined: nitrogen to make plants grow, platinum to cure cancer, hydrogen used as fuel to make rockets take off or indium in touch screens.Once you realize that it takes more elements to make a smartphone than a human being, you'll never see the things around you in the same way again!
