The Royal Institution's (RI) 2012 Christmas Lectures will be presented by chemist Peter Wothers

The Royal Institution's (RI) 2012 Christmas Lectures will be presented by chemist Peter Wothers in a demonstration packed, three-part series called The modern alchemist.

A teaching fellow in the department of chemistry at the University of Cambridge, Peter will unpick the chemistry of the world around us - looking at air, water and earth - three of the ancient Greek elements that tantalised alchemists for centuries. He will explore the cocktail of gases that make air our elixir of life, and how water may hold the key to a solution to our energy problems.
