We start with a 1927 patent awarded to George Washington Carver, an agricultural chemist, for a locally-sourced Prussian blue. We learn a bit about Carver's life, education, and hobby of painting which may have led to the patent. We examine the patent in some detail, and then hear how it's been revived by a modern artist. Then we discuss other blue pigments throughout history, ending with the newest blue, an accidental discovery in a laboratory in 2009.Support the showSupport my podcast at https://www.patreon.com/thehistoryofchemistry Tell me how your life relates to chemistry!

⏳Quantum Torah: Time's Flexibility in Jewish Law and Physics Rabbi Shlomo Ezagui's article, 'Quantum Torah: Time's Flexibility in Jewish Law and Physics,' explores the surprising parallels between ancient Jewish law and modern quantum mechanics, specifically concerning the concept of time's flexibility. The author highlights the Jewish legal principle of breira, or retroactive clarification, exemplified by the eruv techumin (a rabbinic mechanism allowing for extended travel on Shabbat). This legal concept suggests that a present need can retroactively determine a past intention, as if that ...
