Brady Haran definitely knows how to make a high-quality YouTube content, since we are mentioning him for the second time in this article. This time, the reason is chemistry. Beside initially filmed 118 videos about each element on the periodic table, the news from the world of chemistry are uploaded on a weekly basis. This is a great opportunity to satisfy your curiosity regarding various experiments, for example, laboratory produced explosions since they are too dangerous to be performed in a classroom or at home. The main narrator is the Professor Sir Martyn Poliakoff, who can be easily mixed with some mad scientist, probably due to his Einstein haircut. Nevertheless, he can teach you how to extract the caffeine from coffee, and what happens to a tasty McDonald cheeseburger when it comes into contact with Hydrochloric Acid from our stomach.
