🕶️ Sunglasses Helped Pasteur Discover Chirality? 🤯 The same principle behind polarized sunglasses played a pivotal role in one of science’s groundbreaking discoveries. 👇See this phenomenon in action using sugar and polarizing filters! Michal Juricek UZH Chemistry Universität Zürich

Chirality is so important in drug design 💊🧬🧪

Ever wondered why MINT🌿feels COOL❄️? The answer lies in the unique structure of menthol, which activates the TRPM8 receptor. This activation tricks our brain into perceiving a cooling sensation, even without a drop in temperature🤯 UZH Chemistry UZH Science Universität Zürich #SciComm

🌍PLASTICS surround us—food packaging, clothes, smartphones, cars, even bulletproof vests! But what are they and how are they made? Watch the NEW chemistry.unwrapped video to find out 😍 For more content, follow the YouTube account: youtube.com/@chemistry.unw… UZH Chemistry Universität Zürich

The POLYMER series festures five videos. With the first video out, explaining the chemistry behind #nylon, there are four more videos to come. Curious which polymers we will dive into? Follow us and find out! :-) #ChemSky #SciComm UZH Chemistry Michal Juricek

Get READY to REACT ⚽️🏐👩‍🔬👨‍🔬🏃🏻‍♀️‍➡️🏃‍♂️‍➡️🏆 The 6th ChemCup will be the biggest so far, with 14 teams from UZH Chemistry competing in football & volleyball for the champion title. Get ready to react & see you on the fields on July 2! #teamspirit #unitedbychemistry

Trung as Roy Plunkett in the latest chemistry.unwrapped episode on the discovery of the slipperiest material that we know 👨‍🔬🧪🦎👏 Big things can happen when one is curious and does not stop at ‘nothing’s there’ 💪 Motivation for all of us - let’s never stop exploring 🙌 #teflon

Super GLUE vs. SCREWS 🧪🔧 WHO wins? 🚗💥 From the accidental discovery of Super Glue to modern EPOXY adhesives used by car assembly lines instead of screws. WHY the switch? Because you don’t always need a screw. Sometimes, a little chemistry is enough! 🧪😎 #polymersunwrapped

🏄‍♂️ Surfer’s #1 Rule: NEVER Pee in Your Wetsuit — Here’s WHY! NEOPRENE, invented in the 1930s as a flexible, durable rubber alternative, traps heat with tiny air bubbles. But those same bubbles also trap bacteria which break down urea into ammonia. And the smell? Not great 😅

Good luck to the Swiss and Liechtenstein teams at #icho2025 in #dubai !! We are happy we could host a practical training for both teams and help them get ready for this international chemistry competition. Special thanks to Timo, Georg and Ulli 💗🙏 UZH Chemistry Universität Zürich
