A collaboration between the Institute of Advanced Technology at the University of Science and Technology of China and Tsinghua University Press has led to the formation of BeautifulChemistry.net, a site whose goal is “to bring the beauty of chemistry to the general public through digital media and technology.”
To start on the path, the creators “used a 4K UltraHD camera and special lenses to capture chemical reactions in astonishing detail without the distraction of beakers and test tubes.” Those reactions are compiled in the following video and are broken into six different categories.
