The work that we do in this group and inorganic chemistry in general, to be honest, is really quite uniquely situated because the perfect balance of academic pursuits, as well as practical applications.

我们在这个小组所做的工作一般的无机化，说实话，是非常独特的因为术实际应用的完美平衡。

Chemistry has traditionally been subdivided into four areas: organic, inorganic, analytical, and physical chemistry.

化被传统地分为四个领域：有机化、无机化、分析化物理化。

And it's not only very cool chemistry, because as a bioinorganic chemist, nitrogen fixation is one of my favorite fixations, if you will, since you need iron and sometimes vanadium or molybdenum to accomplish that biochemically.

这不仅是非常酷的化，因为作为一名生物无机化家， 氮固定是我最喜欢的研之一，因为实现这一生化过程需要铁， 有时还需要钒或钼。

They also allow water to dissolve pretty much anything that's even partially non-polar, which includes sugars, proteins, ions, and tons of inorganic chemicals.

它们还使得水能够溶解几乎所有部分非极性的物质，包括糖类、蛋白质、离子以及大量的无机化物质。

Not even the majority of inorganic chemical reactions that shaped the surface of the earth would happen.

甚至大部分塑造地球表面的无机化反应都不会发生。

These divisions have blurred somewhat in recent year and there subtopics, such as organometallic chemistry, being investigated by both organic and inorganic chemists.

近年来， 这些划分有些模糊，有机无机化家都在研有机金属化等副主题。

So I did a mix of kind of classic physical inorganic chemistry experiments.

所以我进行了一系列经典的物理无机化实验。

Organic chemistry is the study of the compounds of a single element, carbon; inorganic chemistry is the study of compounds of all the other elements.

有机化是研一个元素---碳的化合物的科。无机化是研所有其他元素化合物的科。

And then when I started my lab, it was in bioinorganic chemistry.

当我开始建立自己的实验室时，研是生物无机化。
