The discussion of Neon was very informative and my appreciation of the art form has definitely been heightened. Thank you
Great story! I teach freshman chemistry and we just finished our unit on atomic and electronic structure. I can't wait to use this story to tie in a real world application to what we've been talking about in class. =)
Cool!
Good story... and that physicist has great diction!
Great story about those beautiful colored neon lights - they shine brigter now that I have this information.
I have witnessed the developing and increasing use of colored lights - usually advertising - but was happy to be instructed on the technicalities by my son
Good job, Uncle Eric. Keep it up.
