WHAT A CHEMIST WANTS

The thrill of finding single crystals in the vial… and the ecstasy when they diffract! 💎✨

Great job, Georg and Helena!

🤔 Can an entire SOCCER field fit inside a TEASPOON of a MOF — the material for which Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar Yaghi were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry this year?

Ever WONDERED why perfectly seared steak, roasted coffee, or baked bread SMELL so irresistible?👃🔥

It’s not just cooking — it’s chemistry at work! ⚗️

The secret is called the MAILLARD reaction, and it’s the science behind flavor.

Interested in non-functional organic magnetic switches?

We actually do want to make them work — that’s why we study the ones that don’t, so we can make them function :-)

VINEGAR CHIPS – You either love them or hate them. But do you know what they have in common with heating pads?

👉 In this video, we show how the same chemical that gives vinegar chips their tangy FLAVOR can also create HEAT just by turning into crystals! 💎🔥

🥚 Ever tried to UNCook a boiled egg? 🤔

Sprinkle some sodium borohydride… and watch egg white turn back into slime 🤯

Crazy? Yes. Gross? A bit.😃 But pure chemistry magic 🔬✨

🎬 Can you UNCOOK a boiled EGG? 🥚✨

Proteins unfold & cross-link when you whisk or boil eggs — from fluffy foam to solid white.

🔑 Disulfide bridges lock them.
We cut those bonds with chemistry… and turned egg white back to slime 🤯
