“Catalysis”

Catalysts speed up chemical reactions without being consumed themselves. In “Catalysis” the Beauty of Science team shows 5 different examples of catalytic reactions, from acetone oxidation to yeast fermentation. The film is full of bubbles, sparks, and wave-like pulses of chemical reaction. As always, it’s a lovely glimpse of processes we’re not used to watching so closely.
