摘要
碳酸钙是一种广为人知的化合物,在日常生活中非常普遍,例如白垩、蚌壳和水垢。然而,科学家们对碳酸钙的形成机制、不同的晶体形态以及我们如何控制和引导碳酸钙的形成以生产出具有不同特性的材料仍有许多疑问。M 项目是一个面向英国中学的化学公民科学项目,探索在不同反应条件下碳酸钙样品的合成,并在钻石光源同步加速器的 X 射线衍射实验室 I11 光束线对其进行分析。科学传播在项目的成功中发挥了至关重要的作用,它将不同的社区与科学联系起来,并创造了独特的机会,以 M 项目科学家为中心,增强他们的能力。
Forming bonds between molecules and communities through Project M
Calcium carbonate is a compound that is well-recognized and very prevalent in daily life e.g., chalk, mussel shells and limescale. However, scientists still have many questions about its formation mechanisms, the different crystal forms it takes, and how we can control and direct this formation to produce this material with different properties. Project M was a chemistry citizen science project for UK secondary schools exploring the synthesis of samples of calcium carbonate under different reaction conditions and analyzing them at Beamline I11, an X-ray diffraction laboratory at the Diamond Light Source synchrotron. Science communication played a crucial role in the success of the project, connecting different communities to the science and creating unique opportunities to center and empower the Project M Scientists.
