PoreLab på Nysgjerrige Norge (in Norwegian)
Nysgjerrige Norge – episode 11: Alt er porøst? Kristopher Schau besøker Senter for porøse medier (PoreLab) og møter Alex Hansen, Eirik Grude Flekkøy og Marcel Moura. Sammen diskuterer de hvorfor porøse medier – alt fra jord, hud og kaffe til trafikk og pandemimasker – er overalt rundt oss. Hvorfor er dette så viktig, men likevel så
