For a chemist such as Dr. Matthew Hartings, 3D printing isn’t just about making inert products like plastic models or prototypes. Instead, he explores novel starting materials with specific chemical properties in order to 3D print products with the ability to store gases such as hydrogen. Dr. Hartings also bridges the world of chemistry to everyday life through food, exploring the science behind cooking and sharing some surprising yet simple ways to elevate a meal. On this exciting episode of Let’s Talk Chemistry edited by Presley Vu, hosts Poorvi Iyer, Michael Steitz, and Elizabeth Li talk with Dr. Hartings, Professor of Chemistry at American University, from everything from materials chemistry to the chemistry of cooking. We hope you enjoy!
