Remember back in high school, when you had to learn about chemical reactions? That was a dark time for all of us. We're still not precisely sure how all of it even works.
If only our teachers had this video to spice up their monotone lectures about compounds and molecules and [other science words]. It takes something that can feel theoretical or difficult to understand and makes it concrete and perceptible. It might even make you want to learn how these chemicals interact and create the world we see around us.
The video, made by Yan Liang, Ph.D., for L2Molecule.com, shows exactly what happens when chemicals react with each other. The reactions are magnified and slowed down so their beautiful interactions can be seen by the human eye. Science is cool, but we like when it's gorgeous, too.

We're here to shed some clarity
One of our core beliefs here at Vox is that everyone needs and deserves access to the information that helps them understand the world, regardless of whether they can pay for a subscription. With the 2024 election on the horizon, more people are turning to us for clear and balanced explanations of the issues and policies at stake. We’re so grateful that we’re on track to hit 85,000 contributions to the Vox Contributions program before the end of the year, which in turn helps us keep this work free. We need to add 2,500 contributions this month to hit that goal.
Will you make a contribution today to help us hit this goal and support our policy coverage? Any amount helps.
