Reporter Sam Kean reveals the periodic table as it’s never been seen before. Not only is it one of man's crowning scientific achievements, it's also a treasure trove of stories of passion, adventure, betrayal, and obsession. The infectious tales and astounding details in The Disappearing Spoon follow carbon, neon, silicon, and gold as they play out their parts in human history, finance, mythology, war, the arts, poison, and the lives of the (frequently) mad scientists who discovered them.

Where PiHKAL focuses on a class of compounds called phenethylamines, TiHKAL is written about a family of psychoactive drugs known as tryptamines with TiHKAL being an acronym for Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved”. Like its predecessor, this book is divided into two parts. The first part of the book begins with the story of Alice and Shura, a fictionalized autobiography, which picks up where the similar section of PiHKAL left off. The book opens with the story about the DEA raid that occurred a few years after the publication of their first book, PiHKAL.

An enchanting biography of the most resonant - and most necessary - chemical element on Earth. Carbon. It's in the fibers in your hair, the timbers in your walls, the food that you eat, and the air that you breathe. It's worth billions as a luxury and half a trillion as a necessity, but there are still mysteries yet to be solved about the element that can be both diamond and coal. Where does it come from, what does it do, and why, above all, does life need it?

Il podcast descrive un progetto di ricerca, SpecReK, che mira a ottimizzare il riciclaggio delle plastiche tramite l'analisi spettroscopica in tempo reale. Combinando tecniche spettroscopiche avanzate e intelligenza artificiale, il progetto punta a identificare con precisione la composizione dei rifiuti plastici per migliorare la qualità del materiale riciclato. Il progetto coinvolge università e aziende, sfruttando competenze in chimica polimerica, robotica e scienza dei dati. Il sito web di chemeurope.com, da cui è tratto il testo, offre inoltre informazioni su prodotti, articoli ...

CustomCells entwickelt Individualbatterien für Nischenmärkte, für die weder standardisierte Consumer-Batterien, noch die E-Auto-Zellen von der Stange in Frage kommen. Im Wesentlichen produziert der deutsche Zellhersteller dabei Sonderformate für teure, sehr leistungsstarke, nickelreiche NMC-Batteriezellen. Viele CustomCells-Kunden bringen eine ultrahohe Preisbereitschaft mit, da es weltweit nur sehr wenige Anbieter dieser Sonderbatterien gibt - und die Anforderungen mitunter hochspezifisch sein können.

And our current behavior threatens not only our own future but that of countless other creatures.

In Proof, Adam Rogers reveals alcohol as a miracle of science, going deep into the pleasures of making and drinking booze—and the effects of the latter. The people who make and sell alcohol may talk about history and tradition, but alcohol production is really powered by physics, molecular biology, organic chemistry, and a bit of metallurgy—and our taste for those products is a melding of psychology and neurobiology.

Like the alphabet, the calendar, or the zodiac, the periodic table of the chemical elements has a permanent place in our imagination. But aside from the handful of common ones (iron, carbon, copper, gold), the elements themselves remain wrapped in mystery. We do not know what most of them look like, how they exist in nature, how they got their names, or of what use they are to us.

In The Secrets of Alchemy, Lawrence M. Principe, one of the world's leading authorities on the subject, brings alchemy out of the shadows and restores it to its important place in human history and culture. By surveying what alchemy was and how it began, developed, and overlapped with a range of ideas and pursuits, Principe illuminates the practice. He vividly depicts the place of alchemy during its heyday in early modern Europe, and then explores how alchemy has fit into wider views of the cosmos and humanity.
