PS: Here's an officially approved portrait of Gormley's iron sculpture!!!! www.sciencegallery.com/element... - Наука та технологія
The Iron-Thingy "You cant show" When its art, but nobody is allowed to see it, who can we tell, it is art?
MazeFrame you can see it’s reflection. It’s just a flat plate shape
MazeFrame hipsters and their art.. “you can’t see it, rest assured it’s art tho..”
Well it's definitely art no matter what you say. And you have no idea if this person is a hipster or not. Hows about you stop judging things you know nothing about.
You're answering a 2 month old comment on a video thats pretty old you don't have to spend that effort there is no glory there and no just cause
Schroedinger's Art.
oh i see, put a glass case over every single element except for the radioactive one
no one would steal that i guess XD
LOL true
I know right? 🤣🤣💀
Let your children play with it
@@DreckbobBratpfanne Well I would, I'm collecting elements and one day I hope to collect all in the periodic table. I also try as much as possible to isolate them on my own, sod right now I've collected Hydrogen, Carbon, Zinc, Aluminium, Sodium and Chlorine.
lol we cvan see the iro on the reflection
Lol yea
Ikr
Or you can google it
I clicked just to see the green thing :)
Me too
+Isalys555 ikr
And, ofc, it's not glowing green, it's a light under it.
But hey, if it gets the message across that it's radioactive, then no better way to do so
It is lit up by UV-light and the green light actually comes from the uranium atoms fluorescence.
Yeah that green’s awesome!
That sculpture censorship is ridiculous! I think that some natural tribes would consider us savage for doing taboos like that.
Someone wants to make money off of the sculpture they probably put hours into. You cant just get everything you want for free.
@@melody3741 more precisely, a museum wants to make money off an art piece they already paid the artist for. The artist doesn't get a percentage from viewings.
Has anyone been to see the exhibit and can describe the sculpture to us?
100% BS!
you can't show us iron? who cares if its someone's "art".
yea ikr just put a nail in there
Heaven forfend if we have a chance to see your art for the sake of learning
It's called Fair Use you crumb don't be so stingy
ControllerTape they should "accidentally" drop it
u can see it in the refelektion
You can see it in the reflection.
If you couldn't show the iron piece, i really didn't need to know about it. Could have used the video time for soemthing you COULD HAVE filmed.
Rest of the film was awesome, thanks.
its just multiple blocks of iron combined, i can see it in the reflection xD
If people read the description. There's a link to the iron piece at the bottom. Link contains a photo.
doesn’t work anymore
I was thinking that this iron sculpture was going to be something incredibly unique, beautiful, and amazing. Something that could be considered almost inconceivable.
Instead I got a rusty looking model of Falling Water.
Wow.
1:36 (background) what a nice peice of art
There was an attempt at censorship
still saw th iron it had a reflection
Rockefeller byun(
I love how you can see the reflection of the piece of iron in the glass
“Mercury is super super toxic”...
- Cody’s Lab has entered the chat-
I mean metallic mercury Isn’t that toxic , as long as you don’t breathe it. What really kills are the soluble salt of it and some organic compounds.
I approve of the uranium glass.
How could they forget Bismuth!?
They don't seem to have any technetium, either. :)
@@Tindometari technetium is pretty boring though
@@justsomecommentchannel8602 Actually, it has some interesting and valuable uses in nuclear medicine.
@@Tindometari so do a ton of other radioactive elements. don't get me wrong, technetium isn't the most boring element, it's just that it's one of the less interesting elements out there
The lump of iron was the most valuable piece in the gallery? More than the gold? This is why I will never understand art.
That's pretty lame "art" in my opinion.
Yeah theres no way it is, its just him talking it up, its just a piece of iron and if that artist is so full of himself then that piece worth like 5$
@ 7:19 Awww!.. I thought it really was glowing green by itself.
nah... they'd probably evacuate the city and block it off for a few centuries if it was
+roboguardian03 lol
Bassotronics it is fluorescing green
The "Revigator" was fascinating. Clearly not every health trick is worth trying.
robbielosee It's one of my favourite quack devices of all time.
Gabriela Ruellan My favourite are the "let's x-ray your feet to see how your shoes fit" devices.
GothAlice Wow. Never knew about those.
Gabriela Ruellan I like the bellows used to blow smoke up the backside of a man who was drowning.
nitelite78 O_O What was the smoke supposed to do?
Reflections are a funny thing, esp while they were showing/not-showing the iron
You can actually see the iron in the reflection off the glass
"Sorry, can't show the Iron piece! Artist is being 'that way' about it. Seems you have to pay to see it."
Get over yourself! This is NOT your private show.
agreed thank-you
This is like those awful book-signing 'events' where you can't get a drink or use the bathroom if you don't have a copy of the book.
Google "Meme CXV"
The 'irony' of it all!
This reminds me of a scene from the movie "Paul" where a sci-fi author refuses to sign a book because the fan had not bought the latest one!
Greg Gallacci i saw the iron through the reflection on the screen
On turning cremation remains into diamond: I wasn't aware cremation remains contained carbon. In fact, when I Google the chemical composition, I do not see carbon listed anywhere. Cremains are almost entirely phosphate, sulfate, and calcium, with a range of trace elements, none of which are carbon. Any carbon that was present in the body prior to combustion was sent up the stack as CO2.
if they cremated the body in a low oxygen atmosphere there would definitely be some carbon left, which could be used to make a diamond via vapor deposition. Whether they actually do this is still a question, tho.
It would probably make me uneasy to see a big chunk of something glowing green labeled uranium
if i was there my brain would be like " i know you want to but don't lick it."

After Violet you got UV which has many bands, UVA, UVB and UVC, then you got X-Ray, then Gamma
@RyuDarragh I learned recently that radiation can sometimes directly affect the retina, producing a visual effect that isn't actually caused by (visible) light. Astronauts and a few nuclear scientists have experienced it as flashes or glows, and apparently there are some cases of ionized air glow that can't be seen on camera, even though the camera was pointed in the right place and running. That might be caused by that effect.
A few years later I will also open a element museum, I'm a fan chemical elements
+835728099 Will you show us the iron?
Wyatt Sullivan We use corrugated iron and high purity iron as a sample, of course, will do better after the iron samples
+835728099 Yay wriggly Tin.
My fave was the iron. it was so beautiful
A nugget of gold dug off a riverbed is _infinitely_ more beautiful than a processed bar.
Thanks for the link to the iron sculpture, I was super curious!
Very interesting marriage of art and chemistry. I'd love to see more of what they've done there.
Love the video! Our Elements exhibition runs until September 23rd before it goes to Bergamo. And you can see more photos and descriptions of all the pieces on our website.

Nice reflection of that sculpture.
what a bizarre reaction from the artist
Its an artist thing that even s ientists cant understand or fathom. Someone should start studying artists by dissection
Sounds about the expected reaction to me.
That reflection of the iron looks really nice.
I'm guessing the piece of Uranium glass was lit from underneath with UV light, fluorescing.
As a geology student whose favorite metal is copper and also a knitter, that copper piece is friggin beautiful 😍
The copper sculpture was my favorite. I also liked the sheer, clean elegance of the silicon disc.
My goodness, they're all fabulous!
Very cleaver. “I can’t show the iron thing” **shows it in the reflection** 👍🏻👌🏻
I think they were all equally beautiful -- I can't pick one favorite!
My off-the-cuff choice for most beautiful element -- one that I didn't see -- is bismuth. They can grow really beautiful, interesting bismuth crystals that look like tiny rainbow architectural structures!
The green color he is describing in the wallpaper is copper arsenate. Bacteria would attack it and release trimetylarsine, which has relatively low toxicity but was enough of a concern that they stopped using copper arsenate as a color. Chromated copper arsenate (CCA) was once widely used to treat wood- it has now been replaced by colloidal silver.
This is probably the best video so far that you guys have made! It was really interesting :)
Some one who would make something beautiful but not allow it to be photographed, is not an artist but nearly one who holds art hostage. Fe display, I’m talking about you.
Great video, keep em coming
You absolutely can film the sculpture! Simply documenting it's presence is not copyright infringement. People should not promote draconian copyright policies.
You forgot about Neodymium and the beautiful color shifting glass it makes, there's a Lavender to Blue Vase I found during a Google search. It's also turning up as Sea Glass in online selling platforms like Facebook and eBay mostly as soda bottle bottoms. I bought a Neodymium Amethyst/light Purple Bottle Bottom, would it be safe enough to be made into vessels for food and drink?
Question: I was at an exhibit in a museum once where there was a few samples of Uranium-containing ores rotating on a disc under a detector reading their output.
As I read the sign warning me not to stand so close, but that doing so should be safe, as there was 30cm of glass and about as much air between me and the sign, I began to get a mild headache.
What do you suppose that was about, given that I wasn't likely nerves as my only reaction to realizing what I was looking at was "Oh, Uranium."
I'm from the US too.
Uranium doesn't glow under normal conditions.
The only elements that glow from radioactivity are Actinium and Plutonium.
Actinium ionizes the air around it, and plutonium is extremely hot.
All other elements require a specific set of circumstances to emit visible light, usually being mixed with another element or electrically charged.
The water in a reactor glows blue from a certain type of radiation, but none of the components themselves glow.
He said three time that one of the objects was the most valuable thing in the gallery. Once at the gold bar, once with the iron art thingi, and once with the Platinum kilogram.
I have a bizarre fascination with early 20th century "quack medicine", so I couldn't help but smile when I saw the Revigator.
did enjoy the arsenic wallpaper as I am a painter.. in learning art history, as we all do, one does learn about many artists in the past believed to have been possibly affected adversely by some of the toxic paints they mixed and used at that time. thanks for this!
the iron sculpture looks like a bunch of rectangular cube shapes stacked on top of each other from what I can see in the reflection.
Odd that there is even a warning about the uranium glass.
The only possible danger from it is if you decided to start chipping away at it like a ferrous mad man creating tiny particles of glass dust and then proceeded to snort it.
When I die, I want to make my ashes into a diamond.
It's so funny. A very interesting and informative video, yet as I read through the comments, almost everyone is obsessed with the "iron censorship".
Robert Thomas - It seems that the artist was happy to get exposure for his work, by having it referred to in the video, so long as nobody sees it. It's a very arrogant and selfish attitude that a lot of artists I know find distasteful. It goes against everything art should represent. Art is about expression not exclusivity, more so in the case of sculpture. That's why people are annoyed. He didn't deserve the exposure in my opinion.
I think that copper is more of a knit than a weave but what do I know?
Indirect relation.
It takes more energy to create heavier elements, so should it follow an increase in protons equals a decrease in quantity available.
Are the best sources of energy not towards the end of the table?
Great video!
how many most valuable pieces do you have in that library?
I love that the signs that ask all pregnant women to be at least 30cm away have such small font that they would have to be that close to read them.
I like the uranium sculpture. I made my own radioactive glaze for ceramics in art class out of pulverized uranium glass. My art teacher went along with it surprisingly...
Love the uranium sculpture.
Where can see the iron sculpture?
pausse at 1:36 and look at the back piece of glass. it reflects the sculpture that he blocked
The mercury was good, as it always is, the silicon was truly amazing, but the most beautiful for me was the cobalt coloured blue glass. Ive always treasured that stuff when found at the beach, or dug up from very old rubbish tips as whole bottles etc.
The uranium glass @6:56 is standard glass colored with diuranate, an oxidized form of uranium. The oxidized metal is dissolved into molten glass to give it a yellowish to greenish tint. The green fluorescence comes when the glass is exposed to ultraviolet light. High-energy waves of UV light excite the uranium's electrons causing them to vibrate and emit light in the green wavelength. Standard lights and even sunlight will not cause the glass to glow. Glass makers who used uranium as a tinting agent were only interested in the color of the glass under normal lighting conditions.
The amount of radiation produced by uranium glass is such that you can consume food served in/on uranium glassware and not suffer no ill-effects; so long as the glass itself remains outside of your body. If you were to consume glass chips or glass dust (or inhale the dust) from uranium glass, well, that's a bad thing; cancer bad. Because of this, such pieces make nice curiosities for collectors, but have no practical applications for the general public.
That's where I went to university :) I missed this exhibition though :(
My fave element is probably either cobalt (because of color) or copper (because its so pretty and I love the smell of my hands after handling it)
@periodicvideos Why is that sculpture so secret?
My favorite element is Bn (bacon).
sculpture looks like sizewell a and b?
For those of you who didn't notice, click on the link under the PS above, which takes you to teh Science Gallery website.
3:14 Isn't the weight of that piece being 'exact' reliant on distance from the Earth's center?
As in, if you lifted it up a few meters it would weigh a smidgen less? Or have I got that wrong?
If you look hard enough, you can see the iron sculpture a little reflecting in the glass when he has his hand in front of it.
Which calcium compound is bone?
Don't call me an idiot but why was the platinum so protected?
It's worth A LOT. Even a small piece.
+unprofessional Also, as they mention 'its exactly a kilogram', which leads me to believe its actually Standard Kilogram, especially given they seem to have packed it in a protective atmosphere, so as well as being a pure sample of a very expensive a and precious metal, it probably has a specific mass to a few thousandths or millionths of a kilogram. I cant really think of any other reason why it would be in a a protected atmosphere, given platinum is pretty renowned for its non-reactivity - it seems more likely its to protect it from surface contamination (like dust and oil from skin) that would change its weight.
+unprofessional cause the more you touch it, the less it is 1 kg
I know how to mine platinum at highway. take all powder from the highway and take it home and filter it to fine powder then heat it up with platinum melting point
TBM GAMER I think I know which videos you've been watching ;p You would probably have to sweep all the highways in America to get something on the order of kilograms i would imagine, they only use a a handful of grams in each catalytic converter.
I don't know if that is the case but, when you mix a little bit of uranium oxide in glass (turning it in uranium glass) it actually glows green under UV light.
Maybe the piece on the exhibition is lit by a UV source.
My favorite, Arsenic, because I love William Morris, having grown up in an Edwardian house in Canada. I had some 'Vaseline glass' with a slight uranium content until my Dad broke it. It fluoresced beautifully under black light.
Best. Chemistry. Channel. Ever.
@periodicvideos I would like the Uranium glass sculpture with the green lighting display please
That uranium glass isn't lit by green light, but when it is lit, it glows green. Just to clarify.
Look at this guy being scared of uranium glass -_-
TIR occurs when the surrounding material has a lower refractive index and prevents any light escaping (Which is why fiber optics have effectively no signal loss). What you're seeing is just partial reflection =)
1:59 They showed actual pieces of the infamous arsenic wallpaper I've been reading about!!! I'm green with envy... Paris green!
im a fan or the radium because it is interesting to think about how people saw the world before the present, but more interesting to think how our future generations will look at us
Yes, you can have different colors for neon lights by using different noble gases and different treatments... or you could just get colored glass tubes.
I can see a reflection of the Iron sculpture in the glass display box.
exhibits like this seem to be popping up a lot lately.
i looked at the reflection the iron art thing made.. it was really nice seriously!
Sad they didn't show the iron one because I'm not going to be near Dublin any time soon being from Canada and all.
No, most green radioactive glow is caused by interaction with external phospors.
Radon, however glows green when ionized, but most glow blue or red when/if they do.
That uranium glass sculpture actually is glowing.... uranium infused glass marbles can be easily found online and will glow green like that when in the presence of UV light.
Exactly. That's why they should have displayed it in several forms.
I've seen one of those radium ceramic jugs before.
@Draxis32 : Uranium glass usually refer to glass that have been colored by adding uranium oxides, the glass seen in the video is probably a yellowish-green under normal light, but I suspect from the brilliant greenish light that it is fluorescing under UV light here. Uranium can be used in glass and glazes of many different colors, though little new glass or ceramics contain it..
So what was the entry for neon? Another sign?
+Alexander Roderick
Probably a sign that reads, "This is NOT argon."
A scale model of a 1990s Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge Neon?
just see the reflection and you can see the art piece!
The atomic number is just the number of protons in the nucleus so there's no particular reason a particular number of protons would be missing in the middle of the periodic table.
You can always go to the link under the description to look at the gallery for iron.
2:42 Do you wanna get a haunted diamond? 'Cause that's how you get a haunted diamond.
Carbon can be pretty much a million things due to how it varies in chains. Most people think of it as a diamond or granite. Coal isn't something that comes to mind immediately.
Isn't that radium water jug slowly decaying, meaning that glass case is gradually filling with radon gas?
