Atomic Rob's Hall of Science

A cello? Why a cello? You'll just have to watch this to see what I am talking about! Wow! It's been WAY too long since I've had any time to play Atomic Rob! I happened to find this amazing video from Smarter Every Day, one of my favorite Youtube channels and decided to post it for you. Enjoy and see if you can figure out why the cello does what it does.

Check out this little protein as it walks along a filament in the brain dragging a big wad of endorphin. This is the body treating pain and/or making "happy" happen. Could be from eating comfort food, winning a bet or having s*x.

Wow! Atomic Rob's been busy lately! Even so, I still find cool things that make me go "Hmmm!" I am becoming very fond of Action Lab! Great stuff. He does a great job of teaching principles of science. Here's a wild principle, NEGATIVE MASS! Wrap your head around this...

It's been a while since I've posted anything. So sorry, I've been really busy doing Spring things! So, here's something for my fellow fans of bananas! If you are my age, you have had the pleasure of eating a nearly extinct banana that had more flavor. Something terrible happened to them though and could happen again... check this out!

Hank loves bananas and is worried about their future, so he did some investigating and wrote this episode of SciShow to share some kinda scary banana truths ...

No bueno folks! Scientists have found a huge amount of molten carbon (Not magma) under a massive area in the greater Western United States! We're talking TRILLIONS of metric tonnes! We don't want this to get any closer to the surface than it already is!

One of the most important finds of our lifetime. Dated to nearly 12,000 years ago, it is some of the oldest structures known. Homes, zoo, temple... no one knows for sure. But this ancient site in Turkey has been raising eyebrows for some 20 years. Here is a great place to take in Gobekli Tepe!

Elementary Watson! Something I wrote to a friend who is attending college chem class. "Little Timmy took a drink, But he will drink no more, For what he thought was H2O, Was H2SO4!" Know your symbols!

This kid is awesome! More "power" to him! Even though the power he collects is actually borrowed from radio station AC waves much like crystal radios did. I love his spirit and his motive to learn the physics of power production. Truly a necessity of our time.

Schrodinger is there! I wonder where his cat is? And if Curie had only known what she was exposing herself to! And I see Heisenberg but I'm a bit "uncertain" about that! (get it?) Quite the collection of "noodles" here

I know, I know... it's been a while since I've posted anything on the old ARHOS site! My most humble apologies! I have a doozie for you today! This is a video that shows just how excitable a simple (well, maybe not!) element can be! Cesium is an amazing metal! Cesium is used in atomic clocks, in photoelectric cells and as a catalyst in the hydrogenation of certain organic compounds. Cesium readily combines with oxygen and is used as a getter, a material that combines with and removes trace gases from vacuum tubes after mechanical vacuum is applied. One of the radioactive forms of cesium is formed as a nuclear fission by-product, an isotope known as cesium 137 . (Which is leaking from the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear plant disaster. along with strontium and iodine isotopes!)
