- robewald 12y agoThanks for posting. It is not really relevant right now, but an interesting concept that might be handy when facing other problems.

- stared 12y ago^ A great research started on YouTube, which ended up in Nature: http://www.nature.com/nchem/journal/v7/n3/full/nchem.2161.html http://www.nature.com/nchem/journal/v7/n3/full/nchem.2161.ht.... It's why it makes sense to study "already well understood" processes (to the point that sodium explosion is used as one of typical chemistry experiments for high schools).
