Someone needs to buy this dude's university an x-ray spectrometer.

Fascinating. Great choice of subject matter for an experiment!

1) great video ✓
2) cool accent ✓
3) cat at the end ✓

Yeah, it worth subscribing.

This is your best one yet. We need to get your University a gas chromatograph, many used ones in the USA are available very cheap.

Him: ...then i decided to drop it into some nitric acid.
Me: Seems like a reasonable next step

Chemistry/ Nature is an enormous mind f#ck and I’ve learnt more from this channel (& a couple others) than I EVER even did in “school”.
I truly wish I wasn’t deceived during my most interested years but I’m all-in now and that feels good. Thank you my friends!

Great video, love that shot of all the rare Earth oxides

Science channels: “warning, don’t attempt any of this”

Me, an intellectual: i already blew up my house

I've had neodynium magnets attract each other fiercely enough to fragment upon collision. Truly an impressive material.

"What are Neodymium Magnets REALLY MADE From?"
Cake and lasers. Duh.

I can tell you Sir that a few years ago my neighbor took a Neo 52 strength magnet that was three inches diameter one inch thick. He did exactly what you did and found out that very little NEO was in the magnet. Sorry that I do not remember what amount was in the sample. Nice work fella.

[Paddydapro]

this is a question I had for a long time and I did quite some research over this but thank you very much for telling many more people these interesting things, keep the videos coming :)

These experiments are not only very informative, but awesomely fascinating. This also takes great deal of efforts, time and fortune, Kudos from your chemist follower here in the Philippines Ric Capistrano !

[VeronicaGorositoMusic]

I could see these videos by months, so interesting and educational, thank you!!

Love it just taking us on this adventure of chemistry 🙂

Qualitative analysis was always my favorite part of all chemistry.

[sooobyrooo]

I became interested in neodymium because of my interest in Alexandrite glass which changes color from pink Under incandescent bulbs to blue under fluorescent bulbs and even green under LED bulbs of certain frequency. Thank you for explaining all of that colorful action that was really awesome and watching the process of extraction was terrific.

Now that we have some Neodymium, lets make some magnets! Great video, Chemistry was always dry and academic. Your techniques are interesting to watch. Thank you for posting!

I knew that rare earth elements can be hard to separate, but I naïvely thought that the neodymium in NdFeB magnets would be nearly pure. I’d guessed that it had to be or the magnet would be weak. Very interesting to know!
