Drugs Under The Microscope

[infinitemindfield-blog]

But MDMA and ecstasy are the same?

[satanic-funeral]

Sorry but why are you doing drugs if you really thought MDMA and ecstacy are the same thing? Ecstacy is often not MDMA at all, most cases it’s methalone, amphetamines, sudafedrin or even cut with crack. if there’s MDMA even in the ecstacy i promise you it’s cut with some form of terrible chemical.

What makes fireworks colorful?

It all thanks to the luminescence of metals. When certain metals are heated (over a flame or in a hot explosion) their electrons jump up to a higher energy state. When those electrons fall back down, they emit specific frequencies of light - and each chemical has a unique emission spectrum.

You can see that the most prominent bands in the spectra above match the firework colors. The colors often burn brighter with the addition of an electron donor like Chlorine (Cl). 

But the metals alone wouldn’t look like much. They need to be excited. Black powder (mostly nitrates like KNO3) provides oxygen for the rapid reduction of charcoal (C) to create a lot hot expanding gas - the BOOM. That, in turn, provides the energy for luminescence - the AWWWW.

Aluminium has a special role — it emits a bright white light … and makes sparks!

The Cloud by Richard Clarkson is an interactive lamp and speaker system, designed to mimic a thundercloud in both appearance and entertainment. Using motion sensors the cloud detects a user’s presence and creates a unique lightning and thunder show dictated by their movement. The system features a powerful speaker system from which the user can stream music via any Bluetooth compatible device. Using color-changing lights the cloud is able to adapt to the desired lighting color and brightness. The cloud also has alternative modes such as a nightlight and music reactive mode.

Here’s a bird’s eye view of the World Cup (nations), brought to you just a couple hours before the first game between Brazil and Croatia. All these images come from NASA — you can learn a lot more about the images and see them in beautiful high resolution here.

Also, a reminder that you can watch Spaceship Earth cruise by in real-time through NASA’s recently installed HDEV on the ISS :)

(Above images from http://thecraftychemist.tumblr.com/) Craving more chemistry between Compound Interest posts? Check out The Crafty Chemist’s tumblr! Highlights include the above series of excellent images on characteristic smells, which concisely detail a particular compound for each.

Pair these with the Aroma Chemistry series on the Compound Interest site, further additions to which are coming soon, and you’ve got all the smell chemistry knowledge you’ll ever want (unless your appetite for aroma chemistry is insatiable).

Here’s Part 1 of the chemical reactions posters, including precipitation, decomposition, combustion, addition and neutralisation. Further parts to come, so don’t worry if there’s a reaction not yet included that you think should be! Head on over to the site to download printable versions - they’ll hopefully also be available for purchase in the not too distant future…

Today was really uneventful, so I had time to make something quickly. Thanks to Freya for giving me the idea to make something like this. She suggested I design a view of the surface of the earth with the milky way above it in space and I just sort of went with it and ended up with this. Took about 2 hours all in all.

Anyway, I guess this is an apocalyptic thing with a super nova or expanding star near the bottom and random asteroids coming to rape earth’s churches and burn its women. I wanted to do more with this, but I started getting frustrated and just saved and uploaded it like it is.

The Science of Happiness: What data & biology reveal about our mood

While true happiness may have a different definition to each of us, science can give us a glimpse at the underlying biological factors behind happiness. From the food we eat to room temperature, there are thousands of factors that play a role in how our brains work and the moods that we are in. Understanding these factors can be helpful in achieving lasting happiness.
