Dropping ice cubes in water (and liquid nitrogen) produce interesting results. Differential expansion. More slow motion from periodic videos: http://bit.ly/chemslomo Follow us on Facebook at http:/...
Reactive lithium is the lightest of the alkali metals. This is our original lithium video from 2008 but now at higher viewing quality. See all our videos at http://www.periodicvideos.com/
We take a look at Carbon - one of the most important elements for our lives on Earth. We look at various forms of elemental carbon, from diamonds to exotic graphene and buckyballs. More chemistry a...
The Molecular Videos is a series within the Periodic Table of Videos.
Rather than our usual fare of pure elements, it focuses on the molecules and compounds of chemistry.
The project has been made possible by support from the EPSRC.
We're at the UK's National Nuclear Laboratory (Sellafield) for a look at some Americium. It is used in smoke detectors but could also be a key power-source for the future of space travel.
We're at Sellafield, in the "active" area of its National Nuclear Laboratory. Getting up close to Uranium, Plutonium, Neptunium and Americium. More detailed videos on those elements coming soon. ...
Our very own "Mr Uranium" - Dr Steve Liddle - publishes a paper in Science about a pioneering piece of chemistry involving a bond between Uranium and Nitrogen.
We're given special access to various plutonium compounds at the National Nuclear Laboratory, in Sellafield. A chance to meet the "Hannibal Lecter of the Periodic Table". With thanks to Mark Sarsfi...
