so firstly... an apology for not doing many hangouts for the last 6 months..... honestly theyve been bitchingly busy for me! (2 trips to france, 2 trips to germany, 1 to UK and 3 to US)... ontop of making youtube videos.

However thankfully.... the crazy busy thing seems to be coming to an end at the end of Aug.  I'd like to get a patreon hangout done this weekend, but I might have to go back to the UK. But for certain things really ease up for me at the end of the month.

However, Im happy to inform you that your patronage has now led to a second paper in a top tier chemistry journal! (Angewandte Chemie... ya believe it or not... thats a top tier chemistry journal!) Again its about the sodium and the solvated electron in water, and again I've got your support listed in the acknowledgements! 

The papers annoyingly behind a paywall.... but the video (see above) is much more fun anyways!

Enjoy!

Nice. Hole I'll not present to understand all of what you said in the vid I didnt catch you saying why it went transparent. Metallic to blue/black is interesting but I can see blue coated things every day, I only see metal things become transparent in dodgy spy films. I exaggerate, but for me, the 'magic' bit was when a lump of metal became something I could see through.

*"while", sorry

Science, 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Well done on hammering away at the question until you figured this stuff out. Though tbh I think the schools will like your thor's hammer experiment more than this one, watching the dancing ball changing colour would be cool, but would need too much equipment! ;)
