"Photons are real" That is a dangerous rabbit hole....
-
When I think of Tellurium, I think of that hilarious story about the Australian mining town (Kalgoorlie) who accidentally built their town out of gold telluride ore. They thought it was fool’s gold.

It’s absolutely hilarious that you managed to find discover a beautiful, white powder that turns yellow when lonely.

The chemist sitting in the corner of the rave is often more responsible for the overall vibe than the DJ.
-
"How hard can that be" is a phrase I always end up regretting.
-
"once again that's a job for the microwave furnace" Chemistry at its finest.
-
Everyone talks about photons but forgets about darkness; that is carried by subatomic wave-like particles called photoffs.
-
One of my favorite things about back yard chemistry videos is how often people incidentally make the most hazardous rocket oxidizer in common use, that most career rocket people have never seen in person.

Another day in the life of the most sane Australian.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the longevity of rave? I'm 60 in a couple of months and me and my mates were mad for the rave back in the day. Although I needed to take a portable DVD player with me when I went to the rave, so I could watch my chemistry videos. Rave is also the reason I can't remember anything that happened after 1988, well not so much rave as the drugs really.

I love this PHD guy's commitment to standing directly in front of the GL in GLASS to spell out ASS.
-
"How often do you think about tellurium" - Well, I had a job working with bismuth telluride thermo electric coolers, so often enough.
-
I wonder if the reason tellurium's chemistry is so weird is that it has 8 stable isotopes, with a 10 neutron difference between the lightest and heaviest. Might mess with the orbitals and stuff? I dunno.

A day with Tellurium chemistry is a good day

Tellurium is my favorite element! It's the smell of space and the cosmos. The moon, Mars, space itself, asteroids etc all smell like rotting garbage:) See, the reason Te is so rare is that it loves to form tellurium hydride, a gas that left the early atmosphere of earth. Since its stink is so potent and it's still present on other solar bodies, they would smell like rotten garbage. The moon astronauts even reported a 'gunpowder and rotting garbage smell'. Thanks Te 😊

I never thought just oxidizing a metal could be so frustrating

"Then I am going to get stinky" Mate, no one's going to know the difference!
