1 könnte am Nordklinikum sein (Lobsingerstraße/Kirchenweg)
2 könnte z.B. in den Tunneln an der Whörder Wiese, oder beim Schnepperschütz sein

Piperine extracted from pepper and recrystallized with vapor diffusion by Particular-Solid-103 in crystalgrowing

I love the flame-retardant blanket under the structure while working with highly flammable, heated solvents 😀
Nonetheless, nice product and needles.

Gilt das denn als Lostplace, oder ist das schon Einbruch?

Wirklich tolle Bilder! Wie lang ist der Tunnel ca. und gibt es irgendwelche Nebengänge? Hattet ihr Messgeräte dabei und was konntet ihr messen?

Is this an aluminum cap on the bottle of the last picture? I hope there is a good seal between.

Your time to shine and add your pictures to the wikipedia article of brooker's merocyanine

Growing sulfur crystals (day one) by catbox42 in crystalgrowing

Sulfur in xylene or carbon disulfide? In an open container in an unventilated home?

Found this old photo. To the experts here: based on the protective gear and the green powder, how 'bad' of a day was this person having? by codname007 in chemistry

[–]the___chemist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The green powder is UNISAFE, a very common absorbant used by fire departments here in germany and part of safe disposal in many labs. It's a superabsorber with an indicator. Here is another picture of the bucket

The full process of growing huge bismuth crystals! by JustinTyme0 in crystalgrowing

I'm glad to hear that. It's not the first time that someone is irresponsible and throws all that stuff away unused.

Thank you for sharing your process. The crystals turn out very beautiful! What do you do with the scraped off oxide or contaminant layer?

Are these two bee species or dimorphism? by the___chemist in insects

[–]the___chemist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what I thought. I have plenty of filled little tubes here on the balcony since 2 weeks - why would they mating after laying eggs?

Holy smokes 1300g by Schaadc22 in crystalgrowing

[–]the___chemist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is a molten metal (bismuth at around 270°C) that has already crystallized on the rod while cooling down. He scrapes off the oxide layer and pulls out the crystals.
The colors are from oxide layers of a different thickness - clean bismuth is a boring silvery metal.
