Dysprosium - Periodic Table of Videos

[ilikepienotu]

God I can listen to that paper rustle all day

[ReubsChemRb]

Why is the sound of the "paper" rustling so lovely?

[MrMaffen]

really quite nice paper .. love it :D

[eatpumkin090]

idk why but at 1:01 when he starts talking. I can only imagine him being a mad scientist in his later years.

[bmbirdsong]

Have we ever heard Pete say "Oh, this is a really quite disgusting element." ? 

[envelope91]

I love how the guy admires the paper.

[ZuKahta]

silly chemistry, deep down inside you are physics.

[CRISNCHIPS12398]

Infrared Spectroscopy FTW!

[jlmadill]

That really is a quite nice sample of paper. Where can I get this "paper" you speak of?

[pooppeeyoupants]

@jlmadill thats NOT paper.

[pooppeeyoupants]

@jlmadill its not paper but dyprosium foil. Hope this helps!

[minraja]

I bet if it was highly toxic he would know about it.

[japanesepoptart]

I have a question. I heard dysprosium displays special magnetic properties at a temperature below 85K. why does the temperature cause such a change in it's properties?

[MichaelKingsfordGray]

@japanesepoptart

No-one *really* knows.

[onthecuttingedge2005]

dysprosium is so sexy

[nattsurfaren]

It would have been fun if he unpacked a chocolate bar instead.

I understand that dysprosium also is used with magnets?

[Ashitakaandsan]

Fascinating! Seems like a very important element

[swampert11706]

dysprosium can be cut with a knife. It's not too strong.

[WarezRUs]

I'd lol if it really is an aluminium sheet, and they're just lieing to look awesome :)

[BIGGGY305]

lol "quite nice" video :)

[darrenc349]

it looks like a piece of aluminium foi;l -.-'

[polonium9]

you did not mention that its name comes from "dysprositos" which means "hard to get". it came as last on a mineral sample that caused about 4 or 5 elements to be discovered and yes it caused a guy to almost go mad due to seeing all these different compounds that he thought was one element yet was not.

[matthew623210]

when i first saw pete i though that he was a student, not because he doesn't know what hes talking about but because he looks so young

[JacobRudduck]

I think he reminds me of Nick Frost..

[matthew623210]

hahahaha

[RussianHatRevival]

LOL everything's "quite nice" to him! "stored in this quite nice paper" lol

[DeepGrey]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. :)

[zogres]

He loves every single element.. they're all "Really quite nice" haha

[LePeintreOrageux]

He's quite nice himself, too! xD

[saintaureus]

I don't know if dysprosium is expensive, but I want to see it burn. It's supposed to be extremely flammable.

[rekinu5]

i dont get it , most of the elements look similar , how do they decide if its A or B. The only way i know is the electronic microscope, and that is quite expensive.

[saintaureus]

They look similar, but you can tell by its physical properties such as melting point or density, or chemical properties such as what it reacts with.

[rekinu5]

well thats a point but still a hard work. anyways , thnx bro.

[azninvasion217]

these videos make me proud for being a nerd

[polonium9]

me too

[grandexandi]

@azninvasion217 these videos make me wish i had been a better student to be able to become any type of scientist

[robotwarsfan03]

nice! i like these elements and also Rubidium and Caesium
