Me and my lab group in physics made a cloud chamber.
To observe radiation.
I couldn't make this up.
Those little lines and trails and jets popping up? Radiation passing though a cooled cloud of 140 proof alcohol, cooled by dry ice.
At the beginning it's just background radiation, but as you see the trails and jets increase in number, that's when we added radiation samples (Co and Sr).
At 2:08 I start using manual focus, so click on high definition to enjoy!
