Olympic insights from Beijing chemistry students

As the 2024 Paris Olympics draw to a close, two international students from Beijing University of Chemical Technology can't help but marvel at the pervasive presence of chemistry at the games.

Sofiane from Algeria and Maria from Angola, intrigued by the cutting-edge technology behind the athletes' performances, explored the chemistry secrets hidden in their equipment. They discovered that even seemingly ordinary items, like running shoes and tennis rackets, are powered by remarkable scientific innovations. Beyond that, they even tried making a cup of electrolyte water.
