@SirMildredPierce and @Amiryfey We have done a video about the water bottles... I will put it on the nottinghamscince main channel page for the next few days so you can find it more easily.
Mr. Rountree was fired recently. He no longer works at Barker Road Middle School. I was in his class last year and there is so much to say about what happened, but not much I'm willing to share...
I always like the videos from Nottingham. I wonder if they'll ever name an element after the professor? I think Poliakoffinium would be a great name for some new element they discover.
The number isn't what you think it is, i'm a 22 year old physics student with a good knowledge of where ideas came from. Russia learnt about the process of fission mostly from a spy they had working at los alamos. After the war russia and the US took german scientists to work for them. For example verner von braun who was the director in charge of the apollo program was a captured german scientist. There is no where in the history books where ukraine was a science centre, so the technology -
Haha, elephants. I placed fourth in a regional chem competition in secondary school and one of my prizes was a shirt with the "Periodic Table of Elephants" stamped on it.
He looks like a Professor from Hogwarts with the office decorations, his odd appearance and his accent! Maybe it just goes with being called Professor.
chernobyl explosion has happened in freaking Ukraine, and even during the times of ussr it was in Ukraine. One would think that the guy with name like Poliakoff should have know the difference.
It wasn't supposed to be a funny comment. I just find it amusing that you think that the 3rd nuclear power station to be built in the USSR, chernobyl, was built using technology from ukraine. It was obviously from russia.
yes, but only its compounds... and gallium is very unreactive so there´s no danger. Gold is actually a very toxic heavy metal, but only its compounds can bring it into your body.... but gold doesn´t form compounds by itself :-)
listen kid, if 19 in your nickname means what I think it means then you are yet too young to discuss this kind of stuff. This is a topic for grow-ups, or at least for people that know what they are talking about. Go study some geography, a history of ussr, and don't come back. The last thing I need is some junior explaining me that what I saw and knew 30 years ago is not what I was.
You must be a conspiracy theorist or something. I don't really have a clue what you are arguing about anymore. From what i've read you seem to think that ukraine was at the forefront of nuclear power when chernobyl was built.... dream on.

Professor, you're simply the best!!!
When you have hair like that how can you help but be a bad ass scientist.

His clock is soooo awesome! I want one!
I have the same black periodic table! I bought it in Tokyo in a museum
I know that periodic table, it is from the back of a book I have
is the professor aware of how much he is loved here ?
The professor is a legend here on youtube =D
i have that exact same periodic table!!!:)
melt on! \m/ :-D
In honour of Prof Martin Poliakoff, I have named my right mouse button after him too.
I will try and click Martin responsibly.
Can anyone explain those water bottles on the top of the door

Elephant and Element, the tongue twister duo
They should end every video with "Good Chemistry!" like that
can you show your new periodic table little closer?
I'm not sure I understand, my projector is named Optoma ? did he invent DLP or something ?
What's with all the bottles?

don't let kids go into the internets, it make the internets stupid.
At the time of the accident (april 1986) it was USSR, so everyone was talking about Russia, which is a simpler way to put it, but not true.
Someone might be afraid it's like mercury?
Gallium, while not as bad as mercury, is still a bit toxic.
becous it is like element i think elephaunt
Rrrrran down the apparatus
I'm sure the professor knows this, but Chernobyl is in Ukraine, not Russia.

came from russia. You don't just design a nuclear power plant overnight, it's not as simple as you think.
0:49 it sounded like he broke the door
but ussr != russia, because it consisted of 15 republics, one of which was russia.

Yea but where u think the technology and scientists behind chernobyl came from, russia!
