Material Wall

The niche layout on the material wall is derived from the 2023 star molecular formula selected by the American Chemical Society's "C&EN" magazine - oxonium ions. 12 categories of new materials are embedded in the niches. By linking with the exhibit "Elements that make up matter", guide visitors to deeply understand the relationship between the microstructure and macroscopic expression of materials.

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

The microscopic particle structure constitutes our diverse and colorful material world. one The molecular formula arrangement of the niche refers to the current molecular shape of the niche arrangement pattern, which is based on one of the "star molecular formulas" selected by the American Chemical Society's "C&EN" in 2023, the oxonium ion. This compound is currently the only known compound with stable configuration and oxygen atom as the sole chiral center, filling the gap in the field of oxygen atom stereochemistry research and representing a fundamental breakthrough in the field of molecular chirality. It has a beautiful hexagonal molecular structure and is scientifically and representative in terms of structure. two The 9 major material directions of the Materials Genome Project follow an international perspective. This exhibit category refers to the 9 major material directions of the Materials Genome Project as material categories: biomaterials, catalysts, resin based composites, related materials, electronic and photonic materials, energy materials, lightweight structural materials, organic electronic materials, and polymers.
