We have a new epic video about Tungsten. More links and info in full description ↓↓↓
To learn more about the technicians website we mentioned, see www.technicians.org.uk
This video features Professor Martyn Poliakoff, Neil Barnes and Alex Kibler. It was filmed, edited and produced by Brady Haran.
Thanks to Midwest Tungsten Service for the cube of Tungsten which now sits proudly in Neil's office - shop.tungsten.com/tungsten-cube/

Neil is as important as the prof, simply because he puts the thoughts into physical reality, and as he has been doing this for a few years the skill and thought is great, and equal in the education of any of the students, who after all have to have practical application of chemistry to grasp the concepts, and to see just how and why things act like they do, both in theory, and that theory and practise agree. Otherwise this is not Chemistry, but Philosophy, where there is no actual confirmation, other than belief, that the conjectures are correct.

​@Lolwutdesu9000 many professors that are PIs stop doing experiments and bench chemistry once they start their own research group. They focus on other things like keeping up with the modern chemistry literature and grant writing. Their lab skills atrophy, but often they are very well read in the literature, which is necessary to be a great chemist.

I worked as a technician and am always surprised how under recognized the profession is. That said, there is a huge variation in what technicians do and are able to do, I was basically a postdoc working as a technician. :) Just was never interested in the higher position as I wanted to work in science all my life (didn't happen in the end, but long enough). In space, technicians would be extremely valuable as well, there's a way larger pool to choose from then just university grads.

Neil is a real hero. I am very impressed how he did not give up those experiments. It sometimes takes quite a lot of experience and intuition to make an experiment work if it doesn't, which parameters to change and probably most importantly, when to decide to stop, a.k.a "that's as good as it gets."

I saw this and decided had to watch it. My dad is a retired chemistry instructor, I have always been into electronics. I'm taking a TIG welding class this spring it's interesting how much chemistry and electronics are involved in welding. They use tungsten in TIG because high melting point and it conducts decently. It used to seem strange to me people talked about AC VS DC and different polarity for welding I didn't see as far as electrically why it mattered, but whatever is positive in DC has more heat put into it. Aluminum they use AC the negative tip cycle welds the aluminum and the positive cycle cleans the oxide off but also melts the tungsten. Stainless is also interesting as have to be careful with the heat or will burn out the chrome. Even the filler materials are different to add cleaning, help with welding overhead, etc. It would be cool see like a mini playlist of chemistry of welding.

The principal ore of tungsten, (scheelite) is calcium tungstate and it is fluorescent blue-white under short-wave UV light, which is one of the methods of prospecting for it. Scheelite is dense and can be panned from stream gravels like gold, in many places where granites are present (e.g. Cornwall, UK) but it is white and looks like feldspar, so the UV lamp is essential.

12:00 That is SO COOL, my hypothesis for why the wire formed those wavy lines of oxide is: electricity is a wave of electrons [Watch electricity hit a fork in the road KZfaq Video](whether flowing, or vibrating, depending on current type), and as the wave peaks and valleys with increasing amplitude through the wire it will heat/react differently or more with the air in places where the electricity peaks or valleys. A similar thing was probably happening when the voltage was increased slowly as well and i think that I could even see it on the video, but the waves were given time to spread out slowly instead of making extreme highs and lows right away. Wish i could do research like this instead of jobs, but i get to handle tungsten, molybdenum, and even cooler+rarer metals all the time so its pretty awesome

Thank you for another great video on this ubiquitous but mostly unknown metal. Some years ago I commented on a video about the reaction of magnesium with water, pointing out that this was a regular school reaction and that the reaction of magnesium with steam was even more interesting. I am commenting now about the statement that things usually get smaller when you burn them. I frequently do an experiment with my 13 year old students when we burn iron wool and it gets heavier, so things don't get smaller when you burn them but get bigger! Chemistry is so fun, please keep up the good work

Well done Neil, and well done Martyn for expressing all our gratitude for Neil and the amazing work he (and all technicians) do. I would be lost without my lab technicians school getting things ready so I can do experiments with the children.

Some say that his gaze could paralyse you, and that after touching some wolfram he’s transformed into a wolf. All we know is he’s called Neil!
