Shelves in the library filled with specimen jars

Victoria Turk, UK editor at Motherboard, recently took a tour of the Materials Library at University College London‘s Institute of Making. The Materials Library is filled with a hodgepodge collection of stuff, from aerogel to Prince Rupert’s Drops. More information about her visit and the library can be found in Turk’s piece on Motherboard, which is part of The Building Blocks of Everything, a series of materials-themed stories.
