Molecules: You'd better learn to live with them.
Well, it finally happened. I made it almost two years, but I repeated a molecule for what I think is the first time.
Hooray! Any pressure to be original is off! Here's the first of many best-of posts to come!
One thing I've done from time to time is crude experimentation on a recent household molecule, with accompanying photos. Here's a compilation of the ones I can remember putting up. If you have an idea or remember one I missed, leave it in the comments!
Thrill to:
- CSI:MOTD: in which I use cyanoacrylate to expose latent fingerprints on stuff I've handled!
- Paper chromatography: in which I separate yellow 5, red 40,and blue 1!
- Deforming plastic: in which I take a polylactic acid bottle and put hot water in it and watch it collapse!

I attempted to replicate the CSI:MOTD experiment for some friends of mine, but I didn't get any prints--I think the chamber may have been too wet. Maybe next time.
