Scientists discover a new blue

Discovered: The first new blue pigment in 200 years

Scientists discover a new blue, by accident of course, as is often the way with scientific discoveries. The color was discovered by chance by a group of Oregon State University chemists who were heating up chemicals to find new materials for electronics. They named it  YinMn (pronounced “yin-min”) which stands for the elements it’s made of: yitrium iridium, manganese, and oxygen.

 

They continue to search for a new stable, heat reflecting brilliant red, the most elusive color to synthesize.

Are You Fired Up? Ready To Go?

It is time to be on watch. Each one of us must pay attention in this new post truth era. Get active, use your voice. We have to tell congress that we are no longer asleep at the wheel. 

For my Arizona friends and neighbors I have compiled a list of AZ Senators and Representatives. Every time we feel like something is crazy, ill considered or down right dangerous we have to call them and let them know that we at home will keep them accountable.

If you don’t live in AZ compile your own list, for your state and share it.
