- **Event Description**: Andrew Szydlo explores the magic of mercury, looking at ground-breaking discoveries with a whole host of experiments to amaze curious mindsAbout this EventWe are thrilled to welcome Andrew Szydlo back to the Ri once again for a brand-new lecture exploring the magical element - Mercury.Mercury has fascinated us for thousands of years, even found in Egyptian tombs from 1500 BC. Known then as 'quicksilver' its unusual appearance - a beautiful, dense, shiny, silver liquid - led to the idea that it possessed magical properties, and it was used in both medicine and alchemy.Many ground breaking discoveries have been made using mercury: right back to the first ever vacuum in the 17th century, and the first electric motor built by Faraday right here at the Ri.Andrew will bring mercury to life with a whole host of experiments to illustrate its remarkable properties. Mercury's compounds produce spectacular and colourful chemical reactions, and it can even be frozen with liquid nitrogen and turned into a hammerhead — with dramatic results.These experiments, and other surprises throughout the lecture, will amaze and delight curious minds of all ages!As with all our family theatre talks, this event is designed to be enjoyed by adults and children together. All young people under the age of 13 need to be accompanied by a paying adult and those aged 4 and above need a ticket to attend.By booking to attend events at the Royal Institution, you confirm that you have read and accept the Ri's .
