This week something adorable will be posted: fluorescence thermochromism!
During the last few weeks I have prepared ~25 new, not yet described compound that have a weak or strong fluorescence thermochromism. This means they emit an other color under UV lamp at a different temperatures. Most of these compounds work at -195 °C where liquid nitrogen boils, but some of them show some effect at -100 to -70 °C.
How do these work? Depending on the temperature the bonds in these molecules change a lot what means they can absorb and emit different wavelength. As seen on the pictures, on the first there are the compounds, each ampule contains 100 mg. When irradiated with UV light at room temperature (second pics) few of them emit some visible light, but when they are cooled down with liquid nitrogen (last pics) most of the compounds emit a different wavelength light with a different intensity.
Paints & Pigments 101
Color vocab from Victoria Finlay’s book The Brilliant History of Color (PS! join us over on the twitters at 10am PST / 1pm ET / 6pm GMT today to hang out with three awesome women who are experts in all things color).
BINDER—Material that holds pigment particles together, such as glue, oil, egg, or acrylic, enabling the creation of paint.
DYE—Colored material that dissolves in a binder; mostly used for coloring fabrics.
FUGITIVE—Adjective to describe pigment that darkens, changes color, or (especially) fades with exposure to light.
LAKE—A type of paint made from dye by fixing it with a mordant onto a white mineral powder, such as clay, crushed bone, or salt.
MORDANT—Substance such as metals, urine, alum, or even smoke that is mixed with dyes to “fix” them (prevent them from washing out). From the Latin for “biting,” because it causes color to get its teeth into fibers and not let go!
PAINT—Pigment suspended in a binder.
PIGMENT—Colored powder that can be suspended in a binder to make paint. From the Latin pingere, meaning “to paint.” Samples from the manuscripts conservation studio at the Getty Museum. From top: fugitive dye; cochineal insects; Brazil wood.

The Remarkable 18-Month Effort to Repair an $11 Million Monet Painting After a Man Punched a Hole in It
notmodernart I’m sure you’ve seen this but it still reminded me of you
Thanks kelskicksass There's a game online too where you can punch the Monet. I've done a heiber thread by thread tear repair too (that they would have done to this) (see my profile pic actually!) and it was one of the most stressful experiences of my life. But so worth it
The blue and gold braided beard on the burial mask of famed pharaoh Tutankhamun was hastily glued back on with epoxy, damaging the relic after it was knocked during cleaning, conservators at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo said on Wednesday.
The museum is one of the city’s main tourist sites, but in some areas, ancient wooden sarcophagi lay unprotected from the public, while pharaonic burial shrouds, mounted on walls, crumble from behind open panels of glass. Tutankhamun’s mask, over 3,300 years old, and other contents of his tomb are its top exhibits.
Three of the museum’s conservators reached by telephone gave differing accounts of when the incident occurred last year, and whether the beard was knocked off by accident while the mask’s case was being cleaned, or was removed because it was loose.
They agree however that orders came from above to fix it quickly and that an inappropriate adhesive was used. All spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of professional reprisals.
"Unfortunately he used a very irreversible material - epoxy has a very high property for attaching and is used on metal or stone but I think it wasn’t suitable for an outstanding object like Tutankhamun’s golden mask," said one conservator.

this fucking never fails to make me laugh
never knew they’re working like this
this is lovely
This makes me happy
