Where do nature's building blocks--the elements--come from? They're the hidden ingredients of everything in our world, from the carbon in our bodies to the metals in our smartphones. David Pogue examines the world of extreme chemistry: the strongest acids, the deadliest poisons, the universe's most abundant elements, and the rarest of the rare—substances that exist for only fractions of a second.
