290<p>Today (22 September) marks the birthday of Michael Faraday, a chemist and physicist who made significant contributions to the study of electrochemistry. He&#8217;s responsible for popularising many of the terms we use in electrochemistry today, such as anode and cathode, as well as his eponymous laws of electrolysis.</p>

321<p>Did you know that the wasabi in most supermarkets and restaurants isn&#8217;t wasabi? Or that a chemical synergy between dried seaweed and raw fish enhances the savoury flavour of sushi? This infographic was a request from my sushi-mad seven-year-old son and looks at a range of sushi science, from the sticky rice to the pungent pickled ginger.</p>

414<p>If you&#8217;ve been enjoying the tennis at Wimbledon over the past two weeks, chemistry probably didn&#8217;t cross your mind as you watched the players slogging the ball back and forth. However, a lot of science and honed materials go into both the rackets and balls used during each game, set and match. This graphic examines the key substances used and how they&#8217;ve changed over time.</p>

445<p>The 2026 World Cup is up and running, but not without its share of controversy. It&#8217;s setting a number of unwelcome firsts: the first time a <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cnv9drg0qzgo">World Cup referee has been barred from a host nation</a>, and the first time <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cg4wqr2ev33o">a host nation is at war with one of the participating countries</a>. However, some slightly more welcome firsts come in the shape of the materials science behind the World Cup ball, the Trionda.</p>
