From Reactions. For years scientists thought complex molecules could only be formed on Earth. But what if we did find these kinds of molecules out in space? What if they could be formed not just in and around biology but also in cold, dark corners of the universe? Scientists have wondered if they might have…
From Reactions. Imagine there was an ice storm and you have half an inch of ice accumulated all over your car that you have to remove. Could you use airplane deicer to make the job easier? #airplanedeicer #deicer #ethylene #propylene
From Reactions. Typical cough drops contain 10mg of menthol so we made one with 500mg, 50x your regular store bought stuff. It was intense. #menthol #cough #wordlsstrongestcoughdrop
From Reactions. Did you know that purple amethysts are actually just quartz that’s been hit by radioactivity? #amethyst #radiation #chemistry
From Reactions. The 2044 Toyota Prius might just be powered by… ammonia. Ammonia is combustible, and holds promise as a relatively low-effort way to decarbonize the internal combustion engine – but the devil’s in the details. Join George as he discovers at least one detail by burning stuff in his basement. *Note:* the model piston…
From Reactions. Fluorescence is all about excited electrons. Here’s how structures matter when it comes to why different materials will fluoresce. #fluorescence #structure #electromagnetic
From Reactions. Counterfeiting money is wrong. Obviously. But if you wanted to take your totally not real money and fool a counterfeit detection pen, could you do it? We try a number of chemistry tricks to fool the iodine-starch reaction central to these pens, and of course learn a little chemistry along the way. You…
From Reactions. Meet Foof. It has an adorable name, but don’t let that fool you. It’s so reactive that it basically can’t even exist at room temperature. #foof #shorts #DioxygenDifluoride
From Reactions. We’re breaking down glass today–pun fully intended. What makes glass special is its amorphous structure. #shorts #glass #chemistry
From Reactions. Why are non-alcoholic spirits labelled as such when they actually contain small amounts of alcohol? #nonalcoholic #spirits #shorts
From Reactions. We just decided to put together a little blooper reel for your entertainment. Sometimes we’re less than 1,000% perfect. #blooper #shorts #chemistry

From Reactions. Dive into the microscopic battlefield in our latest video. We delve into the critical issue of antibiotic resistance. Witness the historical development of antibiotics, from penicillin’s accidental discovery to the ongoing battle against superbugs. Explore the molecular structures of antibiotics and the ingenious strategies bacteria employ to survive. We uncover the urgent quest…
