Diatoms on grains visualized using scanning electron microscopy! are a type of microalgae that have intricate and delicate silica shells. Scanning electron microscopy provides incredible detail, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of morphology.

There's a worker hidden in that cloud of deadly dust. I tried in my best Spanish to explain that the dust was bad for the pulmones and they should wet it down with aqua. No supervisor to be found. . osha.gov/silica-crystalline

Scientists at Purdue University created the world's fastest spinning object, which revolves at 300 billion revolutions per minute. Or, put another way, half a million times faster than a dentist's drill.

Quick little video about a bottle of "ceramic" spray.

This is a hydrophobic spray coating, and supposedly contains amorphous silica. I was curious if it was in nanoparticle form, aggregate, etc so I popped it under the AFM and SEM to investigate. 🔬

It is pretty cool that some silicate melts compress on adding few GPa of pressure while others expand.

This behavior is known as the anomalous behavior of silicate melts.

डाक्यूमेंट्री बनाने का एक बड़ा संतोष यह भी है कि इस फिल्म के लिये मैंने एक गीत लिखा जिसे बेहतरीन फ़नकार और बहुत बड़े दिल वाली @vidyasings ने अपना सुर दिया। मैं उनका शुक्रगुज़ार हूं।
