Wildfires are currently raging in several countries. This edition of #PeriodicGraphics in @cenmag.bsky.social looks at how chemistry helps fight them 🔥 cen.acs.org/environment/...

This edition of #PeriodicGraphics describes how piezoelectric materials generate electricity, and how this process is used in common applications, including gas ignitors and medical imaging equipment. cen.acs.org/materials/el... #chemsky 🧪

It genuinely is common usage here in a sports context.

This is a really odd thing to pick an argument over.

Yes, see article titles such as this one: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

This is a UK/US difference. In UK football speak we refer to the teams as a collective rather than singular.

Spain are the winners of the 2026 World Cup 🏆 Here's a look at how the materials that make up the shirts help them stand up to all the shirt-pulling and rough-housing in a typical Argentina match ⚽ #ChemSky 🧪

The latest edition of #PeriodicGraphics by @compoundchem.com explains the chemistry that can cause sunscreen to stain clothing and how some chemistry know-how can quickly remove the stains: cen.acs.org/materials/co... #chemsky 🧪

On #NationalCherryDay, here’s a look at the chemistry behind cherries’ poisonous pits and the chemical differences between sweet and sour cherries 🍒 www.compoundchem.com/2016/07/21/c... #ChemSky 🧪

If you've been enjoying the tennis at Wimbledon over the past two weeks, here's a look at the materials science that goes into every game, set and match 🎾 www.compoundchem.com/2026/07/13/t... #ChemSky 🧪

The men’s football World Cup has reached the quarter finals stage ⚽️ Wondering what the trophy the eventual winners lift is made of? This edition of #PeriodicGraphics in @cenmag.bsky.social takes a look! cen.acs.org/materials/in... #ChemSky 🧪

Looks like this one will need an update soon then!

Many of us are relying on the welcome chill of air con during historic heatwaves 🥵 Here's a look at the chemical compounds keeping us cool in @cenmag.bsky.social: cen.acs.org/articles/95/... #ChemSky🧪

The 2026 World Cup has kicked off! This edition's ball has fewer polyurethane panels than previous World Cup balls. Learn more about the ball's materials chemistry in this graphic: wp.me/p4aPLT-8VK #ChemSky 🧪

A great day for chemistry! The first goal of the #worldcup was apparently scored by Quinones. It's about time these amazing compounds get some recognition! Suck it up, Terpenes! #chemsky 🧪

Today is #WorldOceansDay, so here's a graphic which looks at the ocean acidification caused by rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and how this affects the ocean habitat 🌊 www.compoundchem.com/2017/01/18/o... #ChemSky 🧪

What gives smoked foods their flavour, and where do these flavour compounds come from? This edition of #PeriodicGraphics in @cenmag.bsky.social has the answers: cen.acs.org/articles/104...

Summer thunderstorms are hitting here ⛈️ Whenever you see a flash of lightning, you’re seeing the trigger for atmospheric chemical reactions. Learn more in this graphic: www.compoundchem.com/2018/07/31/t... #ChemSky 🧪

Dorothy Hodgkin, Nobel Prize winner and crystallography pioneer, was born #OTD in 1910. Using X-ray crystallography she determined the structures of complex molecules including vitamin B10 and insulin: www.compoundchem.com/2019/05/12/h... #ChemSky 🧪
