Chemistry in its Element - podcast (niobium)

(6 May 2010)

Prof Jon Steed has just published a new podcast, this time on niobium, as part of the Royal Society of Chemistry's podcast series, Chemistry in its Element.

The series, fronted by the well-known broadcaster Johnny Ball, is an accessible, often quirky, look at some of the more interesting features, history and impact of the chemical elements. Steed's take on the element niobium - an element of contradictions - can be downloaded at http://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/podcast/element.asp

Steed's podcast on ruthenium - an element reserved for the connoisseur - was published in autumn 2009.
