The exposed skin.

The beautiful contrast of their skin tone.

The endless hearts.

And once again,

And most important of all,

The vulnerability.

The soft passion.

The absolute

…agency. 💜

One heart wasn't enough...♡

Every time I have to study electrochemistry something inside me dies. I love chemistry, okay? Truly it's my biggest passion. General, inorganic, coordination, analytical, spectroscopy, thermodynamics? Yes please! Nuclear, kinetics, quantum? Not necessarily my favorite but still cool. Organic? I detested it but I was still pretty good at it. But electrochemistry is the bane of my existence. I hated it in analytical, I hated it in pchem, now I hate it in instrumental analysis. I suppose we all just need to have that one aspect of our beloved field that makes our skin crawl ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How to make plasma in the microwave using a grape (don't)

For those of you who don't want to watch the whole video (I recommend watching it, if only for the guy's extremely blase attitude to fire and poisonous gas in his microwave, here is just the plasma part:

And the crazy thing is, even though people have been making videos of this for over 20 years, scientists didn't actually know why it happens until 2019.

Basically, plasma is what happens to matter when it is superheated enough that electrons start to come loose from the atoms they belong to and just create a soup of charged particles. This Science article explains well how this effect is created by a halved grape connected by a thin strip of skin:

"Water-heavy grapes trap the wavelengths of energy microwave ovens emit because the waves are roughly the same size as the diameter of grapes. That energy starts charging up electrolytes inside the fruit, which then flow from one half of the grape to the other—using the strip of skin like an electrical wire and gaining energy as they go. The current quickly burns through the skin, causing the charged electrolytes to try to jump from one half of the grape to the other, supercharging the surrounding air into a bright flare of plasma—the same light-emitting state of matter responsible for the sun's rays and fluorescent lighting."

You can see in these energy diagrams of the microwaved grapes that when the grape halves are moved closer together, alllllll of the energy that is normally distributed throughout the two grape halves condenses down into an extremely small area between them to form a hotspot of radiation. The energy of this area is so great that it can heat the surrounding gas enough to turn it into plasma.

All this to say that this is a super cool quirk of science that you definitely should NOT try at home (the scientists doing the experiment to find out why this happened destroyed 12 different microwaves in the process lol)
