Infographic detailing the chemistry behind four kitchen chemistry hacks. The first is slowing fruit browning. Fruits brown due to the oxidation and polymerization of phenols. Adding acids, such as lemon juice, wrapping the fruit in cling film or otherwise blocking oxygen slows browning by reducing the activity of the polyphenol oxidase enzyme.

Greetings from Kyiv,
that survived another russian night attack.
2,600 high-rise buildings are now without heating
(in addition to the 1,100 that will remain without it this season).
We still have some.
In a few days, frosts will return.
I don’t know how to make the world listen.

YouTuber and inventor Colin Furze explains the fascinating science of Bobsleigh, Ski Jumping, Curling, Freestyle Halfpipe, Skeleton and Figure Skating.
#winterolympics
How is driving a bobsleigh like flying a fighter jet?
What aerodynamics are involved with the skeleton and why do the curlers brush the ice.
It’s all explained here in Colin Furze “The Science of the Winter Olympics”

Photo from the bottom of green grassy bank looking up toward the sun which appears to be floating on a white cloud in a clear blue sky. Black handrails show the path up the bank to the summit.
Haven’t seen much sunny weather lately in the north east of England so here is a glimpse of Saltburn Sunlight to keep us going. #BlueSkyArtShow #sunlight #photography

🇸🇪🇺🇦 PM Kristersson:
I spoke with President Zelenskyy today and informed him that Sweden will provide approx. 95 million euro to meet immediate needs, such as provision of generators and heating equipment. Sweden stands firmly by Ukraine’s side.

Scotland seems to be ahead of the UK in actually valuing students who work hard to improve their knowledge and skills. Makes you wonder in whose interest it was to undermine England’s, Wales’ & NI educational systems.

Grey cloudy day, hedge and tree in foreground , Green field with a distant hill in the background.
It’s a cloudy grey January day when even Roseberry Topping is lost in the mist but the freshly cut hedge and buds on the trees hint at a distant Springtime in Great Ayton North Yorkshire. #photography #countryside

Greetings from Kyiv,
where the situation remains difficult after the attack
(especially on the left bank, where we live).
We had power for about four hours, enough to charge everything before it went off again.
Heating is minimal.
Yes, I got sick.
Thank you for your care. Everything will be fine.

Foaming waves breaking on sandy beach. Ship on the horizon is heading toward a rainbow. Dark brooding clouds.
This is my picture of hope for 2026 .
Sometimes on a rough sea you can’t see the rainbow yourself, but you’re intuitively steering toward it bit by bit.
Happy new year #photography #hope #happynewyear
