Happy National Chemistry Week! This year’s theme is “Chemistry Under Construction.” Chemistry plays a critical role in the strength, safety, and durability of the structures we use every day. Even small changes in a material’s chemical composition can significantly affect its properties. Don’t come for us, we are just having a little fun with the theme today, that is also so Michigan where construction season is a thing.
