why not join the SURENDRANATH GROUP
Why not join the SURENDRANATH GROUP we've got electrolytes bone hurting juice lightning but smaller whatever this is Imao what even is this hot refrigerators

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN? YES? I BRING A MESSAGE FROM THE FUTURE! I DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME. WHAT IS IT? THE CONVENTION YOU'RE SETTING FOR ELECTRIC CHARGE IS BACKWARD. THE ONE LEFT ON GLASS BY SILK SHOULD BE THE NEGATIVE CHARGE. -- WE WERE GOING TO USE THE TIME MACHINE TO PREVENT THE ROBOT APOCALYPSE, BUT THE GUY WHO BUILT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER.

normal people with a time machine: "I am your granddaughter" "Really?" electrochemists with a time machine: [to Ben Franklin] "your sign convention is backwards"

"alchemy" would be the first recorded synthesis of a perbromate salt in 1968 by in situ beta decay of neutron-irradiated selenates

Appelman, E. H. (1968). "Synthesis of perbromates". Journal of the American Chemical Society. 90 (7): 1900–1901.

Attempted syntheses of perbromates were unsuccessful until 1968, when it was finally obtained by the beta decay of selenium-83 in a selenate salt: 83SeO4 2- --> 83BrOO4 - + beta particle

oh, are we doing "types of echem paper" again?
TYPES OF ELECTROCHEMISTRY PAPER: 2% FE for NRR ANOTHER VOLMER-HEYROVSKY-TAFEL STUDY WE MADE ANOTHER WEIRD ELECTRODE PCET DOES IT AGAIN SOLVENT EFFECTS ARE IMPORTANT CVS FOR DUMMIES WE DID SOME DFT, TRY THIS ELECTRODE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GALVANIPOTENTIAL AND VOLTAPOTENTIAL WE FIGURED OUT THAT WEIRD MECHANISM ELECTROCATALYSIS IS THE FUTURE GIVE US MONEY NO ONE UNDERSTANDS ECHEM EXCEPT FOR ME ACTUALLY 2% NH3 CONTAMINATION IN NRR WE DID ELECTROCHEM WITH A PHONE CHARGER CO2 REDUCTION ON COPPER Y HORI DID IN 1986 WHAT IF ORGANIC SYNTHESIS WERE HARDER

We are proudly a lab of scientific immigrants and American citizens. The two are not mutually exclusive.

#chemsky: what are your scientific immigration stories? Share them here!

what's up #chemsky we have arrived

get hyped for some incredibly stupid memes made by incredibly talented electrochemists
STOP doing voltammetry charge was never meant to transfer this is very cruel to electrons
