The 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry goes to work on how to use the principles of evolution to create new medical treatments and renewable fuels. In the EU, 31% of plastic products go to landfill: but a process called "cold plasma pyrolysis" could turn them into clean fuels. The inventor of the brain-teasing Möbius strip died 150 years ago, but his creation continues to spawn new ideas in mathematics. Discover Chemistry: Explore an Unknown Liquid - Planet Smarty Pants. This is a new post in my Think Like a Scientist series.
I must be very successful in “discovery” experiments, because my 7 year old cannot get enough of them. This time we explored an unknown liquid. Setting Up an Experiment. Why these colored water droplets seem to be alive. Tonight, Sept. 2, the season finale of the year’s best TV show will air.
It won’t be on the perennially prestigious HBO or AMC. Instead, it’ll air on USA Network, a cable channel with a middling reputation, previously known best for the glossy legal drama Suits. But USA is living in Mr. How Bubbles Work and 20 Things to Do with Them - Left Brain Craft Brain. We all know that kids love bubbles.

I poured some kids bubbles into small containers. Then, I mixed a few drops of food coloring into the containers. The bubbles were cheapo and weren’t really bubbly, so I added some dish soap as well. Candle Science Magic Trick - Blow Out a Candle Using Science. Updated December 05, 2014.

Free kids chemistry experiment. Ongoing chatter from a materials girl wondering about what matters. Metal mesh with oleophobic coating keeps oil on top while water passes through.
(Image source) Catching liquid in a net may seem like a crazy idea, but by adding a fine dusting of silica nanoparticles to a metal mesh, researchers have been able to create a new type of net. Hydrophobic surfaces (surfaces which repel liquid) are not new and several sprays can now be bought in your local hardware store, but researchers at Ohio State University added a extra ingredient, by topping the silica with a layer of fluorosurfactant to make the mesh oleophobic (surfaces which repel oil). Which food gives the most energy? Chemistry for kids - How to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen using electrolysis - Navigating By Joy. Chemistry. Unwrapping the chemistry of Christmas - Dr Mark Lorch, University of Hull. How many chemicals do you think your body interacts with at Christmas?
Loads! They’re everywhere, in the Christmas jumpers you’re wearing, the wrapping paper you’ve ripped to shreds and even in the preservative on your Christmas tree that stops the needles falling off. Mark Lorch is a biochemist from the University of Hull and he unwrapped the chemistry of Christmas for Chris Smith. Chris - You mentioned that you were joining us earlier and you've been vigorously peeling an orange, but not for personal consumption I hope, not in the chemistry laboratory. Mark - No, of course not. Chris - Flame for the Christmas table? Mark - Yeah. 20 Must-Try Winter Science Experiments for Kids. 81 Ways Teachers Can Use Google Forms with Their Students.

Hot water freezes faster than cold - and now we know why. Hot water seems to freeze faster than cold water, known as the Mpemba effect. The effect was named after the Tanzanian student who in 1963 noticed that hot ice cream mix freezes faster than a cold one.
The effect was first observed by Aristotle in the 4th century BC, then later Francis Bacon and René Descartes. Mpemba published a paper on his findings in 1969. Theories for the Mpemba effect have included: faster evaporation of hot water, therefore reducing the volume left to freeze; formation of a frost layer on cold water, insulating it; and different concentrations of solutes such as carbon dioxide, which is driven off when the water is heated. Unfortunately the effect doesn’t always appear - cold water often does actually freeze faster than hot, as you would expect.
