Photosynthesis MoleCluesTV 2021-06-18 | Photosynthesis is one of the most important chemical processes for life on Earth to exist. Although it involves a complex molecular machinery, the ingredients that make the reaction possible are simple. Can we mimic Nature and use these principles to produce clean energy?This is the final film in a series of seven videos produced by Molecular Frontiers and Eoscene Productions, in collaboration with Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, with financial support by Hasselbladsstiftelsen. We encourage you to use it in education, for example as an introduction to the corresponding chapter in the chemistry textbook!For more videos, check out moleclues.org.
The Carbon Cycle MoleCluesTV 2021-06-18 | The element carbon is the basis for all life on Earth. What makes carbon so special? And what does the term organic molecules mean? In this video we learn about the carbon cycle – how carbon atoms transfer back and forth between the atmosphere and plants and animals – and why using fossil fuels contributes to global warming.This is the sixth film in a series of seven videos produced by Molecular Frontiers and Eoscene Productions, in collaboration with Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, with financial support by Hasselbladsstiftelsen. We encourage you to use it in education, for example as an introduction to the corresponding chapter in the chemistry textbook!For more videos, check out moleclues.org.
Acids and Bases MoleCluesTV 2021-06-18 | Acids and bases are compounds that we encounter every day, for example when we eat or when we wash our clothes.

Chemical Reactions MoleCluesTV 2021-06-18 | When we talk about chemical reactions, many of us think of explosions and smoke. And though that is fun, it is only when you understand HOW a reaction happens and learn to control WHEN it happens that you can create new, interesting solutions to help us move forward. In this video, we learn the difference between a chemical reaction and a physical change and explore how fuel cell cars work.This is the third film in a series of seven videos produced by Molecular Frontiers and Eoscene Productions, in collaboration with Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, with financial support by Hasselbladsstiftelsen. We encourage you to use it in education, for example as an introduction to the corresponding chapter in the chemistry textbook!For more videos, check out moleclues.org.
Chemical Bonds MoleCluesTV 2021-06-17 | A molecule found in willow trees and meadowsweet is the source of one of history’s most successful pharmaceutical drugs – thanks to a small but important chemical modification.

We encourage you to use it in education, for example as an introduction to the corresponding chapter in the chemistry textbook!For more videos, check out moleclues.org.
The Elements and the Periodic Table MoleCluesTV 2021-06-16 | Studying chemistry can sometimes feel like learning a whole new language – letters and numbers in what feels like something written in code. But the best thing is that once we figure out the basics, things become more logical. And everything starts with the chemical building blocks – the elements!This is the first film in a series of seven videos produced by Molecular Frontiers and Eoscene Productions, in collaboration with Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, with financial support by Hasselbladsstiftelsen. We encourage you to use it in education, for example as an introduction to the corresponding chapter in the chemistry textbook!For more videos, check out moleclues.org.
