Note: In my equation for ZnS + O2, please ignore my explanation below it. It doesn't make sense.

Ever since I was a kid, I've been fascinated by things that glow in the dark. I had a few glow toys that I really liked, but I either lost them or gave them away. I could've just bought some new ones, but I thought it would be a lot more fun to make my own from scratch.

"My mom threw away my glowing dinosaur, so I became a chemist and made my own" is a better villain origin story than 90% of the ones out there

You use quotation marks if you are quoting something word for word. You are not so don’t use them.

Nono no… he makes the cellular structure of the animals to make it

I think future Nile would be like -"Now I could buy the zinc powder but I wanted to make my zinc from scratch...so I went on an expedition to dig rocks first.."

Lmao .. all the comments are just crushing him! I wonder how he must be feeling while reading all these comments

My favourite part is that in a recent NileBlue video (bismuth knife) he didn't have a knife in the lab, but a fork? That's fine.

The inability to modulate your tone is a sign of Asperger's. Elon Musk recently said he has Asperger's.

Lovely! These videos showing the whole process, with failures and learning curve, are priceless! Big thumb up! (I think you had a lot of cleaning to do too :D)

Lori McDaniel - 2020-11-01

"As a kid...." LMAO. Dude, your genius fascinates me. And good that you stayed away from radium! 👍

Swaroop Bhonde - 2021-05-11

Does the whole object being made up of the ZnS-infused material help make it glow brighter and longer? Wouldn't just coating the surface of the object with the Glow-in-the-dark material help just as equally?

Obi Wan Cannabi - 2021-04-05

I've always loved glow in the dark and florescent things, I get to relive my childhood with my water cooled PC running CCFT's and florescent red coolant.
Now only if they could make a glow in the dark coolant that wouldn't be abrasive or corrosive.
