Celebrating National Chemistry Week: Picture Perfect Chemistry
This October 20-26, join us in celebrating National Chemistry Week!
This year's theme, "Picture Perfect Chemistry," highlights the fascinating role chemistry plays in capturing and creating images.
From the moment a photon strikes a camera sensor to the development of a traditional photograph, chemistry is at the heart of the process. Photochemical reactions, driven by light, initiate the image formation. Subsequent chemical reactions, influenced by the structure of specific compounds, complete the process.
Let's appreciate the chemistry behind the pictures that shape our world!
