Interesting post found on Matrix today, :-

New Superheavy Element Synthesis Points to Long-Sought ‘Island of Stability’ you can read more about this in the scientific American article published on 24th September

Seems interesting, as I read a paper a few years ago suggesting element 120 was present in Przybylski's Star. In fact, a number of papers on arXiv have suggested some interesting properties and chemistry.

Here is a link to the Matrix Physics Room where I found the link mentioned above

This is pretty cool, we now have an even higher resolution image of what atoms look like. This article from Science Alert.

Link to this article was posted to the Fediverse, so am I sharing and also sharing a link back to the original post or follow Matt Willemsen @mattotcha@mastodon.social

The crystal structure in the image is praseodymium orthoscandate (PrScO3),

The paper on this can be found here, also link to the paper from the original article.

Discuss

We could discuss further on

• Matrix Chemistry
• Science Forums

Or reply on the fediverse post below, if you tag me in [@zkeap@qoto.org] I can try and join in.

Chemistry week will take place from the 4th to the 10th of November 2024 There will be lots of events taking place and hopefully some activities at the STEAM Café, 13 Torbay Road, Paignton.

More information on Chemistry week can be found here there is also the RSC Royal Society of Chemistry Website.

Interesting article from SciTechDaily about the formation of the heavy elements.

• Unveiling the Universe’s Heavy Element Alchemy With Neutron Star Mergers

This infographic may also be of interest, it is published by c&en.

I recently ordered a digital pH meter to go with some of the Chemistry resources at the STEM event and at home.

• Solomi PH Tester

This is a nice little unit, using 2x LR44 (AG13) cell batteries, I did a quick test on some tap water and some vinegar and got expected results. Seems tap water is slightly on the acidic side, so i may have to do proper experimentation with this.

Easy to set, just add batteries, take off protective cover and place in the liquid that you want to test.

One comment that the instructions are in Chinese, which isn't really helpful, but the unit is easy to use, with some common sense and problem-solving skills.

Measurements are from pH 0 to pH 14, with increments of 0.01 so it should be possible to measure very small changes or gradual changes that may take place during reactions for example.

I will be using this at a future STEM group meeting in the meantime, there is an experiment I want to undertake anyway and this will be ideal.

Another video found on peertube, This is looking at Tapered ground glass joints | Introduction to chemistry: Glassware

This is a useful topic as it is important to be familiar with what lab equipment is used. This video covers how to join tapered glassware together, how to seal and remove correctly. What you can do if joints get stuck. It also gives a brief look at joint sizes e.g 25/40 where 25 40 is the length and 25 is the size of the largest part of the taper. The video makes it clearer.
