In August of 1998, the suicide of chemistry graduate student Jason Altom sent shock waves through Harvard's chemistry department. Late one night, Altom swallowed a lethal amount of potassium ...

But he actually created with some laboratory assistants the Bunsen burner or the gas burner in 1855. Now, chemistry - these chemists have arguing for years over who deserves the credit.

Many chemistry teachers incorporate some form of it into their curricula, often using an alternative that involves passing metals through a controlled Bunsen burner flame using wooden sticks or by ...
