Fluid Crystallized Intelligence

There are probably two types of intelligence. Fluid intelligence is your ability to think quickly. It relies on the ability to maintain attention and benefits from a strong working memory. Crystalline intelligence is the ability to apply knowledge from previous learning processes that has been store

Our liquid crystal in your 3D television

Displays are not only getting larger, they are also increasingly offering a three-dimensional view. "Reactive mesogens" are now making such displays suitable for the mass market. This class of materials is in demand as a universal optical tool. Merck has substantially expanded its production capacit

The Most Dangerous Chemical Ive Ever Made.

Head to https://squarespace.com/amateurchemistry to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code AMATEURCHEMISTRY In this video I make and experiment with a deadly and mutagenic chemical called chromium trioxide, use some fork-derived Cheeto dust to make stunning crystals, and

What Causes the Halo Phenomenon?

When ice crystals at high altitudes in cirrus clouds refract sunlight, a halo appears. But a classic halo is only visible when the light exits at an angle of 22 degrees. Autor: ZDF/Terra Xpress/Autorenkombinat/Birthe Heer/Sebastian Kerz/Tobias Schönke/Maximilian Heß Translation and dubbing: alugha

More safety: Smart automotive lighting

How can headlights illuminate the road perfectly without blinding other traffic? For decades, the solution was to switch manually between high and low beam — until technological developments made an automatically responding matrix headlight possible. Scientists are now conducting further research in

What is Graphene?

Due to its unique combination of superior properties, graphene is a credible starting po

Why is there so much salt in Germany?

The salt dates back to a time when vast parts of Germany were covered by a warm, salty sea. Our journey takes us back about 258 to 251 million years to the Zechstein Sea. Authors: ZDF/Terra X/O. Gurr/L. Bockius/E. Jesse/KawomGbR/K22/M. Heß Translation and dubbing: alugha Click here to see more vi

Experiments with Alexander Gerst: TRANSPARENT

Exploring melting under microgravity conditions – improving industrial casting processes One of the focal points of research onboard the International Space Station (ISS) is the investigation of crystal growth in metal alloys. Under microgravity conditions, differences in density in the molten mate
