The beauty of Chemistry 😍

AI still gets it wrong in this & many many other things: youtu.be/-LP605W1sUE?... Always, always proofread & seek alternative reliable sources!

After a tough week of internal exams, a well-deserved respite for next week! The opportunity to not only apply their knowledge but to get a bit creative😀 #Anamorphosis 🧪 youtube.com/shorts/Qawxo...

No money for Helmholtz coils? Not to worry. Make your own 3D printed version! 🧪 ⭕ #TECHOGNITION #techsrule @cleapss.bsky.social @iop.org

The Chemistry department @uniofnottingham.bsky.social is in peril. Please sign the petition: nottinghamchemistry.github.io/Open_Letter/

After some minor adjustments, we tried @cleapss.bsky.social's Experimentally determining the speed of light in air. It works really well & I highly recommend it👍

Andrew Szydlo's The Magic of Mercury Part 1 is now available to watch thanks to the wonderful people of the @rigb.org 👏 Yes, we actually overrun by almost an hour so it's in 2 parts 😄 Not biased at all😅 A delight to watch. Enjoy! youtu.be/LlMnU73PPE8?... #Quicksilver

Another fascinating video! #paramagneticGd youtu.be/YIxjFKBl5eg?...

Totally getting ready for #TECHOGNITION day 2026 next week. This is Otto Von Guericke's 1663 first electrostatic machine replica made by my friend Markus. Friday 13th March we'll celebrate with #electrostatics #shocks ⚡& much more... @techognition.bsky.social

#TECHOGNITION2026 is fast approaching! Friday 13th March. A celebration of all technicians in schools and colleges in the UK. We make it happen! This year all about electrostatics ⚡

The Gassiot's cascade demo is mesmerising & terrifying at the same time!😬 #physicsdemos #techniciansRULE #dischargetubes #glowinguraniumglass youtube.com/shorts/OUWA0...

A brand-new lecture demo by Andrew Szydlo coming soon at The Royal Institution. Magical Mercury: the wonders of the liquid metal that has fascinated humans since ancient times.

Sing it, say it out loud & shout from the highest structure in your schools!!! Technician Sarah Keay explains why school science technicians must not be taken for granted edu.rsc.org/opinion/lets...

New electrical resistance demos! #Physicsmystery Thanks to @YeanyScience for the inspiration.

Bill Watterson is my favorite cartoonist. I adored the relationship btw Calvin and Hobbes as a child. But as I've gotten older, these strips feel even more tender and insightful. My respect for him grew when I learned of his stance against merchandising. Such principles are almost unheard of today.

NEW: Organ tuners have been leaving temperature and humidity records in little-known books for decades. 🎹 They reveal how temperatures inside churches have changed over time due to climate change and increased heating. A new scoop for The Reengineer! www.thereengineer.pro/p/church-org...

Decorations and wrapping for day 17 of #ChemAdvent! Baubles were traditionally silvered using the reduction of silver nitrate with glucose - a chemical test used in classrooms to detect aldehydes. Wrapping paper and tape are both cellulose-based 🎁 #ChemSky 🧪

Electrifying physics Christmas tree 2025! ⚡ #inductioncoil #neonbulbs #sciencesky

Two years after talking about it, it finally became a reality. The new Archimides density practical for Year 8 was a resounding success. First they needed to determine if the drachma coins were made of gold & then if Hiero's crown was gold or an amalgam of Au & Ag. 👑 #Eureka #density #stories

A bit of a different Christmas tree this year 😉 youtube.com/shorts/BXTsX... #TECHOGNITION #TechniciansmakeitHappen #sciencetechsRULE
