Meet the New Optimists – Peter Sadler on inorganic elements

When you’re reading a book like The New Optimists it’s always nice to put a face to a name. So at last week’s official launch event, at Birmingham Botanical Gardens, we grabbed a few contributors to the book and asked them what they’re optimistic about as well as what made them want to contribute to the book (aside from being cajoled into it by Kate, that is).

In this first part of the round-up, Professor Peter Sadler talks about inorganic elements and their possibilities.
