2019 is the 150th anniversary of the periodic table of chemical elements. The series “Views of science: the thousand faces of the periodic table”, held in four libraries in the city, looks at the origins of what has become a cultural icon, explains its secrets and the most unusual imitations, and also explores the connections established with other areas of knowledge, such as literature.

As part of this series, the El Clot-Josep Benet Library offers us the talk “From the Big Bang to the new elements: a chemical history of the universe”, given by Claudi Mans.
