There are already some brilliant chemistry and #scicomm starter packs out there (which I’ll link below) but I haven’t seen one for chemistry content creators, authors and communicators yet, so I’ve made a start on one: go.bsky.app/4Fcuzus

Happy for suggestions of other accounts to add! #ChemSky

Sweet Chemistry: Why Does Honey Crystallize?

Honey Crystals: The Art of Crystallization.
Why Does Honey Crystallize?
#sciart #scicomm #chemistry #science #education
(Check out image description)
Crystallization or solidification of honey is a natural process that occurs in all types of honey. Honey is a supersaturated solution containing more than 80% of sugars (mainly glucose and fructose) and less than 20% of water. When crystallization of honey occurs, it becomes thicker and cloudy, and gets a coarse sugar texture. The crystallization of sugars in honey can be caused by temperature decrease, change of humidity, agitation, and presence of undissolved microcrystals of sugar or remains of polen that can act as centers of crystallization. Despite not having a golden liquid appearance, crystallized honey is perfectly good for consumption and can also be a sign of honey quality. Sugar crystallization in a processed (industrial) honey is generally less common. Placing crystallized honey in a warm water bath for 15-30 min may result in its liquefaction. A honey crystallization pattern is shown herein. Image by @ScienceArtHub

My self-imposed #scicomm challenge of putting together an infographic in a few hours on the Nobel Prize in Chemistry is concluded for another year!
compoundchem.com Compound Interest | Chemistry infographics @compoundchem.com · Oct 8
The 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry was awarded today for the development of metal-organic frameworks, molecular sponges with applications in gas storage, water purification and more: www.compoundchem.com/2025/10/08/2...

#ChemSky 🧪
Infographic on the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M. Yaghi for the development of metal-organic frameworks. The infographic explains that metal-organic frameworks are molecular sponges built up from metal ions and organic compounds that act as linkers. Small molecules such as gases can move into and out of cavities in these frameworks. The graphic highlights some of the MOFs the laureates have developed and concludes by looking at possible future uses of MOFs, including gas storage and extracting water from air.

Freshly cut chestnut branches leak a milky substance that contains esculin, a colorless compound that fluoresces under UV light.

Today is the autumn equinox 🍂

As autumn arrives in the northern hemisphere leaves will soon be turning shades of yellow, orange and red on their way to brown.

This graphic is an old favourite that looks at the colour chemistry involved: bit.ly/3Zx6Li6

Infographic on the chemistry of the colours of autumn leaves. Green is caused by chlorophyll, carotenoids and flavonoids give yellows, and oranges come from carotenoids, which also contribute to reds along with anthocyanins.

"One man's rubbish is another man's treasure"
Rescued lots of grubby old chemistry model sets from a teaching lab clear out. This one scrubbed up well. Not so good free standing - heavy balls, long springs- but okay with the right support.

One type of #SciArt I would share is #ScienceHenna that I would do around holidays or times of celebration. ✨

I would use henna to tell science stories on my hands. 💙 How many references can you find? 🧪⚗️😉
