  1. 🎂🐈‍⬛ Happy Birthday, Marvin the Cosmic Cat.

    Humans may have solved the Navier–Stokes Millennium Problem.

    Marvin and his human had another question:
    “Yes, but what exactly is the liquid?”

    What followed involved viscosity, cream, treacle, glass, molecular forces, dissolved gases, capillary action — and an important distinction:

    Mathematical existence ≠ physical persistence of the model.

    A mathematical trajectory can remain perfectly valid while its translation into the behaviour of a real material requires another question:

    Does the material remain inside the model's applicability domain all the way there?

    Marvin explains. Naturally. 😼

  2. 📺 NEW: An #Auburn University grad student volunteered to enter a 7-Tesla #MRI scanner 104 times over 76 weeks, watching clips from the #sitcom #Friends to pass the long, noisy sessions.

    The #study tracked how day-to-day #sleep patterns connect to #brain #chemistry. Early results link nights with less deep sleep to higher #glutamate levels the next day. The student still says she never tired of the show.

  7. First year chem has a lab where they observe different element samples, take mass, and then convert to mols & particles using ratios, etc. Hands on practice, mainly.

    Web dev has a quiz on computer hardware, Internet infrastructure, and the web stack as a technology. They're also working on sites including links & images.

    AP Chem is starting limiting reactants & prepping for a lab tomorrow.

  17. The obituary of Hideki Shirikawa focused on his research. It left out his life-long dedication to #science outreach. One month before his death at 90 years old, he offered a workshop at a museum in #Japan. His translated description is “‘Seeing is believing.’ However, trying an experiment once yourself allows you to experience and understand the wonders of chemistry far more than watching it a hundred times. Please take on the challenge of the mysteries of #chemistry.” cen.acs.org/people/obituaries/

  18. Praseodymium (Pr) is the 59th element on the Periodic Table and its atomic structure has 59 protons, 59 electrons, and 82 neutrons. Praseodymium is a lanthanoid and it can be used in electric cars, engines, colour glass, ceramics, and goggles for welders. #Chemistry #Praseodymium

  24. @kristinHenry I just discovered where the #SciArtSeptember prompts come from, so my response to 'orbit' is late. Electrons in many-electon atoms and molecules don't actually hang-out in orbitals, but they *do* give atoms and molecules their shapes! Here's a beautifully shaped cobalt ion at the heart of every vitamin B12 molecule, rendered from the results of a #quantum #chemistry calculation and strongly evoking the orbital concept.

  25. Scientists have created a brand-new phase of superionic ice at over 2,000 °C and millions of atmospheres of pressure. In this extreme state, oxygen atoms lock into a rigid lattice while hydrogen flows like liquid, offering clues about the interiors of ice giants like Uranus and Neptune.

  30. Science continues to rewrite what we thought we knew about fundamental chemistry. Recent findings reveal a newly discovered atomic structure on nickel oxide that drives methane conversion far more efficiently than previously believed. By understanding how dynamic structures form in real-time reactions, researchers were able to make a low-nickel catalyst rival alternatives containing ten times the metal. It is a massive step forward for designing cheaper, high-performance industrial catalysts.

  35. First year chem is doing conversions work today, mainly mol <-> mass <-> particle ratios.

    Comp sci touched their first HTML yesterday. They gave semantic structure to a recipe. The "woah" moment between seeing it typed and seeing it rendered on the page was a big one for most students. We'll do more today.

    AP Chem is moving into reaction stoichiometry.

    Inspired by nature and using smart materials, organic chemist Michael Lerch wants to create robots that move more smoothly, like the arms of an octopus for example.

  39. We had a four-day weekend for the US Labor Day holiday. I'm feeling pretty good.

    First year chem is starting unit conversions today. We'll do some notes on mols and then get into ratios practice work.

    Comp sci is doing some tooling work today (filesystem, downloading an editor, etc) and working with their first HTML document.

    AP chem is doing a bunch of stoichiometry practice in small groups.
