Whether you call it aluminum or aluminium, that's okay with the experts in this episode, but remember - it's aluminum foil NOT tin foil. Aluminum is a soft, malleable and non-magnetic metal used in airplanes, iPhones and a huge variety of other products. This Element of Surprise segment features Sydney Butera, PhD student, Carleton University, and Josh Clarke, PhD student, Chemistry, Queen's University.
