À propos de cet audio
Day to day, few give much thought to clay. But it’s a substance that goes a long way – literally and metaphorically. It’s a natural material with ever expanding qualities and uses, from showing if there was life on Mars to complex medicinal delivery systems. It’s all pervasive in our lives – it’s in everything from packing material and cat litter to toothpaste. It’s also a specialism here at the Hutton. So in this episode of Hutton Highlights, we take a delve into the world of clay.
Host:
Elaine Maslin, Media Officer at the Hutton
Guests:
Professor Steve Hiller, soil mineralogist
Dr Stuart Turner, mineralogist
