Episode 4: Over the Rainbow: The Chemistry of Colour with Professor Stephen Westland (University of Leeds)
Colour is everywhere! From the sky to our feet, and leaves on trees to paint on our walls, we can’t get away from colour. But what is colour and where does it come from? And how do we experience colour? We speak with Professor Stephen Westland of the University of Leeds to explore the chemical structures that create colour, how it affects us, and what we need to know about the future of colour chemistry.
