Scientist by nature. I dump science here, not concerned about views to my profile. Just like logging interesting things for later use.
I wonder what the radon levels are like in my area.....
A prison closed after high levels of radon gas were detected is in the UK news today: www.theguardian.com/society/2026...
Where does radon come from and why is it dangerous? This edition of #PeriodicGraphics in @cenmag.bsky.social explains: cen.acs.org/environment/...

This is a day after the #wolfmoon, taken on phone, and through the bedroom window from last night.
May not be the best, but came out quite nice really.

I didn't know it is silver fulminate in the crackers... That's pretty interesting
Cracking chemistry for day 20 of #ChemAdvent!
First up are Christmas crackers, taking advantage of friction-sensitive silver fulminate to deliver a big bang 💥
For tamales, preventing cracking of the corn husk wrapping is the aim, so they're soaked in water to make them flexible 🌽

When I read something from my saved list like this, I am reminded that chemistry makes me happy.
In the oxoanions of phosphorus family, ortho-phosphite has long remained the 'missing link' – until now.
Simple yet elusive ortho-phosphite anion finally synthesised
Researchers suggest synthetically versatile anion could be a more sustainable source of phosphorus

My dad and I used to forage for mushrooms when I was a kid and once I got sick from the mushrooms in a soup. It wasn't severe for me but I wonder what I ate.
