In this episode, we talk about crystals with Noushine Shadidzadeh, professor of crystallization at the UvA. We can all agree: crystals are beautiful to look at. And this is exactly what Noushine loves about her research field. Interestingly enough, crystals play a huge role in our everyday lives, for example in food - think of salt - and in drugs such as paracetamol. During this episode, we will come across various applications of Noushine’s research: from reducing the amount of salt in food to fortifying salt with rare minerals and even preserving cultural heritage. Well, you get it: crystals are everywhere around you! Listen to this episode and let the science behind crystals be unraveled for you.
