讲座摘要

　　A snowflake is just a small crystal of ice, comprised of H2O molecules, which, in turn, are made of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. How did these atoms appear in the Universe and what made them so abundant? Why do they form H2O molecules and which other molecules can be made of hydrogen and oxygen atoms? Why are crystals formed and how living organisms learned, through evolution, to control the process of crystallization of ice? These are the questions which we will discuss in this lecture, based on the latest scientific studies.
