Chemistry is Beautiful

Most of the colors, shapes, and patterns that result when molecules go bump in the night (and day) elude us.

They are too easy to miss. They may occur too quickly, too slowly or at a scale we can't see with the naked eye.  And sometimes we simply lack the patience to notice them.

The purpose of Beautiful Chemistry, a collaboration between the University of Science and Technology of China and Tsinghua University Press, is to introduce us to the beauty of chemistry through beautifully produced videos.

Beautiful Chemical Reactions, Crystallization^2, Beautiful Reactions and Beautiful Chemical Structures are four short, delightful videos filmed to play with your sense of wonder.
