Abstract. In the year that marks the 200th anniversary of the discovery of aluminum, my project has conducted research that reveals what makes aluminum so special. From one to seven, I reveal that element No. 13 – the “winged”, “airy” one – has a long history, has incredible physical properties and interesting chemical properties. It is the only material that can be recycled an indefinite number of times without breaking down and still has the same qualities as the first time it was created, and is environmentally friendly. No. 13 possesses qualities that were once fiction, but are now reality. The aluminum industry is in full swing, but should we be afraid of aluminum?
