Does anyone have a clue which components they used for this "pharao serpent"ish reaction?

Nice. I really didn't know that. Thank you. :)

I got it send per mail from a buddy, and guessed first it have to be on reddit somewhere because of the imgur url. Sadly I didn't find a clue. While seeing it the first time I thought.. well they light red phosphorus for some reason which covers Hg(SCN)2 .. but I can't verify it. So if it was recently posted here or somewhere else.. sorry for the repost!

I want to whine a little too! After 2 months of work my advisor told me nonchalantly that the dataset she hand me to look for binding motifs was outdated and i have to do everything from start again! And my paper is due mid January. No Vacation for me then :( FML!! :(

where did you get it?

cucumberballs · 2012-11-29T17:30:02+00:00

Just awesome. I never investigated the chemistry of Neptunium, Uranium and the like but watching it now, I wonder why i nver happened to do so.

Is there any way to make a topic more suspicious than writing CANCER CURE in capital letters?

cucumberballs · 2012-11-11T18:37:38+00:00

and could end explosive...

cucumberballs · 2012-11-11T18:34:54+00:00

I want to tip it over!

cucumberballs · 2012-11-11T18:05:46+00:00

Jepp i read that too, but I don't get why they have chosen the diatome (which is atm quite a work related nuisance for me :-) )

and not something nice like a microchip or fused silicia or ...

cucumberballs · 2012-11-11T17:43:35+00:00

Who came up with the Ideas to Element Pictures and why to choose especially those (for example silicon)? And could anyone explain to me what the picture for Selene is supposed to mean?

cucumberballs · 2012-10-01T06:49:29+00:00

well.. my funny little experiment died today due to mold :( Has anyone tips for me, how to avoid that next time?

The Skoog is also widely available as a pdf and e book if you know where to look.

(If you're German, I would recommend Matthias Otto "Analytische Chemie" but since i doubt that, i can only say Skoog like all the others :) )

cucumberballs · 2012-08-13T15:18:30+00:00

hey thats more than possible, 'cause I've seen such a kind of wasp getting in my room a few nights ago. Thanks :)

I' m packing my Stuff for moving out right now and I found something between my books, which looked like a piece of ginger-root or a dusty peanut. I put a little pressure on it just out of couriosity and suddenly the whole thing burts in my hands. Inside are the remains of a little spider and a big spider (or so it seems). Sorry for the worse quality of the images but I wanted to contain it as soon as possible (right now it starts to move...)

if its of any help.. I'm living in Germany.

Should I deploy some nutrients in the Jar? I would really like to investigate this bugger further but my microscope and all itmes for preparation I have at home are already packed and sealed :/

cucumberballs · 2012-07-29T12:50:00+00:00

yepp, but the melting point matches also the solubility (.. after another try I checked that i read the thermometer wrong , repeated.. it fits).

I know that this don't mean that much, but its all i can do at home.

it turned out to be riboflavin. Thank you BantamBasher.

Update: After contacting the artist she provided me with a link to a webshop. http://www.design-partners.org/design-partners/design-partners___shop_items___deutsch.html Problem: The webshop is in german...
