Ever since the discovery of fire in prehistoric times, human beings have been fascinated by matter, its properties, and the changes it undergoes—whether naturally or as a result of human intervention.
Now known as “chemists,” specialists in the reactivity of matter continue to pursue the art of experimentation and discovery. The products of their essential knowledge are applied in the fields of nutrition, health, hygiene, transportation, sports, construction, and environmental protection.
