Summary:

This book aims to introduce students (and other interested laypeople) to chemistry in a fun way using examples from science fiction. The individual chapters are deliberately kept short to enhance readability. The book can especially be used as supplementary reading for lectures in chemistry and related disciplines. The Author Prof. Dr. Karsten Müller is the Chair of Technical Thermodynamics at the University of Rostock and conducts research there on chemical energy storage and processes for the conversion of chemical energy. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
