From Chrome Plating To Nanotubes: The ‘Modern’ Chemistry First Used In Ancient Times

The ancient Babylonians were the first to use sophisticated geometry – a staggering 1,400 years before it was previously thought to have been developed. Sadly, these mathematical innovations were forgotten as the Babylonian civilisation collapsed and were only rediscovered this year as scientists took a close look at ancient clay tablets. This surprising finding made me wonder about what other…

Death of Robert Bunsen, 1899

Robert Bunsen was a German chemist, most famously known for his invention that takes his name, the bunsen burner.

Bunsen himself used his invention’s hot, clean flame to study the flame colour produced by burning elements, thus becoming the first person to study emission spectra.

Later, he and his colleague Gustav Kirchhoff used glass prisms to separate the light emitted from the burning samples, creating the scientific field of spectroscopy. Using this technique he would go on to identify the emission spectra of lithium, sodium and potassium, and discover the element caesium. Caesium gets it’s name from the blue line that caesium created in the emission spectra, being derived from the Latin for “deep blue”.
