Chemical Oscillation

Science

One of the few known oscillating chemical reactions, it can generally repeat itself about 10 times before ending as a dark blue liquid smelling of iodine. It’s called the Briggs-Rauscher reaction, named after the two high school science teachers who discovered it in the 70’s by building off a Russian scientist’s work from the 50’s.
