I've been reading this book which is excellent called the Disappearing Spoon. It's a historical account of the periodic table of elements. And I love it. I will do a review of it shortly but I wanted to post this video of a disappearing spoon today. It's pretty cool. It turns out Gallium can be made to look exactly like a silver spoon. But when you put it in hot water it dissolves. I must try it.
