Latest microscopy videos will show chemistry from another angle

Close-up footage to explore unexpected side of simple chemical transformations

Envisioning chemistry is a video series that made waves last year with its amazing footage of everyday chemical transformations, from precipitation to combustion, without glassware getting in the way. The team behind the project, headed by Yan Liang, shot the high-definition footage using microscopy and infrared cameras. In the run-up to the release of the team’s new videos – that will no doubt be equally astounding – we’ve put together a few of our favourites from the last crop in anticipation.
