Reactions is a show that uncovers the chemistry all around us.
From Reactions. These kinds of polymers are used for all sorts of things, not just diapers. Fake snow, medical applications, soil moisture retention, and weird chemistry demos are just a small sampling of all the different uses. #chemistry #polymer #shorts
From Reactions. We’re really not sure what electrons actually are. #chemistry #atom #shorts For a lot more details about what George (and everyone else) does and doesn’t know about electrons, check out our full length video on this topic: https://youtu.be/dgqHFpP1w2k
From Reactions. Beyond “burgers.” Impossible “meat.” A huge meatball (supposedly) made from wooly mammoth. Chemistry is changing how we think about meat, and as technology advances, things are only going to get more confusing… #Mammoth #BeyondMeat #ImpossibleFoods You might also like other Reactions videos: Why the Maillard Reaction Makes Everything Delicious: https://youtu.be/rs1JLYXROVU What Science Says…

From Reactions. These chemical oxygen generators are perfectly safe, as long as they’re handled properly. If they’re not handled properly, though, they can cause serious problems. In 1996 improperly stored chemical oxygen generators actually caused the crash of ValuJet flight 592 in the Everglades. For more about this story and how the oxygen generators work,…
From Reactions. Check out NOVA’s video on cloud seeding and the PBS Earth Month Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr4iGMJZWhQ&list=PLzkQfVIJun2J5q9CIXPAlL95FSb0tJul7&index=85 We all know about the greenhouse effect, but how many of us actually understand it? Turns out, CO2 is not a “blanket,” and saying it “absorbs” heat is barely half the story. In today’s episode we figure out what’s…
From Reactions. Learn how sodium hydroxide interacts with pretzel dough to create the perfect texture and flavor. How a Chemist Makes the Softest Bread You’ll Ever Eat https://youtu.be/3ziMBDPMuP8 #pretzels #cooking #chemistry #science #shorts #ytshorts #acsreactions #baking #experiments #experimentshorts #sodiumhydroxide #lye #naoh
From Reactions. Because who among us hasn’t wondered if shaking regular hexagonal ice in a cocktail shaker would create a major scientific breakthrough? For more ice details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UmcO-qtdlM #chemistry #shorts
From Reactions. Chemical and Engineering News’ 2022 Molecule of the Year. I know, we’re excited, too. #chemistry #shorts
From Reactions. Recently, a handful of tattoo inks have been banned by the European Union for safety reasons. Blue 15:3 and Green 7 made its way onto the banned list and tattoo artists are having a difficult time finding replacements for these two colors. Here’s what chemistry has to say about these precarious pigments. #tattoos…
From Reactions. Can we solve electric vehicle fires before we fully understand what’s happening inside them? #lithium #EV #fire You might also like other Reactions videos: How Do Lithium-Ion Batteries Work? https://youtu.be/zUlbHMDCosI How Do Hydrogen Fuel Cells Work? https://youtu.be/R6AdX-bdDaw What Makes Smartphones Explode? https://youtu.be/pY-kzHn9kvo The World’s Biggest Batteries Aren’t What You Think: https://youtu.be/TIWIXzCwC8g How Do…
From Reactions. Want to make the fluffiest bread possible? Then you need the technique called starch gelatinization. Based on the Chinese tangzhong and Japanese yudane methods, this involves breaking down starch’s symmetry, pushing water between amylose and amylopectin molecules, and using high temperature to gelatinize the starch before making it into dough. But don’t just…
From Reactions. Corn tortillas may seem like an everyday, regular food item – but these pressed corn patties hold a secret almost as old as civilization itself. #tacos #foodscience #corn You might also like other Reactions videos: How to Make the Best Nacho Cheese: https://youtu.be/uwBq7MMY_xI The Science of Avocados: https://youtu.be/YKDoNtlvsMU Frying Your Way to Better…
From Reactions. Correction: 6:33 Dipole moments are typically represented going positive to negative, rather than negative to positive. There are somewhere between 20 and 74,963 kinds of ice. Water can do all kinds of weird stuff when it freezes. So far scientists have experimentally shown crystal structures for 19 kinds of ice. Or maybe 20,…
From Reactions. Correction: 1:43 The left side of the graph should be labeled as Celsius, and the right side should be labeled as Fahrenheit. Ethylene glycol is the most common ingredient in automotive antifreeze. But for years it was used in homicidal poisonings. What made this household chemical so dangerous? And why is it no…
From Reactions. George and Andrew violently disagree on whether brining meat matters. George thinks brining is totally unnecessary; Andrew thinks George is a heathen. They resolve their dispute with the help of some chemistry, a blind tasting, and DC’s very own Roaming Rooster. Serving Up Science on PBS Food https://youtu.be/Mi84o9ZKuXs For a guide on how…
From Reactions. Sugar free gummies are delicious, low on calories, and… technically laxatives? Reactions producer Andrew dives into the science to figure out how he can make delicious sugar free gummies without the uncomfortable side effects. #saccharin #aspartame #foodchemistry Tiny Matters Podcast: https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/pressroom/tiny-matters.html Sugar: The addiction debate and an ancient DNA mutation that’s killing us…
From Reactions. Could the future of data storage be DNA? It’s the original format after all, storing the information needed to build every living thing. and it has a handful of qualities that would make it perfect to store all the digital information in our world. With recent advances in DNA sequencing and DNA printing,…
