This video provides an overview the element Tungsten. Its atomic structure is presented and its two major ores, scheelite and wolframite are described. The fluorescent properties of scheelite are shown. The high density of tungsten is demonstrated. Several uses of tungsten and its alloys as well as tungsten carbide are described.

Fluorite crystals are examined under UV and visible light. Green fluorite crystals glow bright blue under longwave UV light and a beautiful sample of black rose fluorite glows in multiple colors. The role of rare earth elements (including Europium) in generating fluorescence is discussed.

The element Gadolinium is unusual in that it dramatically changes its magnetic properties near room temperature. This effect is demonstrated with a simple experiment and the Curie point is explained.

This video summarizes the discovery, properties, atomic structure, uses, as well as biologic importance and toxicology of the element Chromium. The importance of the chromium oxide layer on the metal is important for corrosion resistance and its thickness can result in thin film interference of light. Vincent Van Gogh was a big fan of Viridian green paint as well as chrome yellow both Chromium ...

History, properties and uses of the element Titanium. Gregor's discovery and Matthew Hunter's experiments on the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute football field are discussed. Titanium's magnetic properties are demonstrated as well as its sparking in a flame. Aerospace uses include the SR71 Blackbird and A10 Warthog aircraft. Titanium dioxide's common uses are presented and unusual titanium dio...

Franklinite mineral history, composition, magnetism, and its beauty when it occurs with fluorescent minerals.

Magnetic properties of different metallic elements are observed, including gold, silver copper, tungsten, bismuth and titanium. Copper alloy gold coins including a Mexican 50 Peso and a Saint Gaudens are examined, as well as silver coins. Lenz's Law is demonstrated.

This is close examination of a 5.6 g trinitite sample. Its radioactive and magnetic properties are explored. What looks like a ghostly face is a reminder of the destructive properties of atomic weapons.

Qualities of an unusually colorful hackmanite sample as a result of exposure to white LED light, sunlight, long and short wave ultraviolet light as well as red and green laser light. Fluorescent and tenebrescent properties of hackmanite are clearly shown.

A brief look at the history and composition of the rare earth alloy called mischmetal or ferrocerium. Examination in slow motion of sparks produced by scraping a knife or sandpaper on a mischmetal rod.

Radioactivity of Uranium ore is compared to that of Uranium metal, antique orange Fiestaware and Uranium glass. The effect of titanium and lead plates in blocking the radiation is examined.

A brief look at the element lithium Atomic structure, reactivity and uses. Lithium is used in batteries, glass-making, lubricants and lightweight metal alloys.

A variety of minerals are examined under short and long wave UV light. Materials include calcite, helenite, wollastonite, willemite and hackmanite.

Magnetic properties of elemental gadolinium are illustrated as well as gadolinium's use in MRI contrast agents, magnetic refrigeration and as a neutron absorber in nuclear reactors. Gadolinium's Curie temperature effects are illustrated.
