He is widely considered in popular literature as the "father of modern chemistry".It is generally accepted that Lavoisier's great accomplishments in chemistry stem largely from his changing the science from a qualitative to a quantitative one. Lavoisier is most noted for his discovery of the role oxygen plays in combustion.

How Oxygen Was Discovered
In the 1770s, a revolution in chemistry had just begun, starting in Uppsala, Sweden. A young apothecary named Carl Wilhelm Scheele began a series of experiments that led to the eventual downfall of an entire theory of fire that had dominated chemistry for a century. This theory was known as the the…

Ep. 13 一个单位引发的血案：度量衡的前世今生
这一期从两位主播在北美生活多年依然拒绝适应华氏度的日常牢骚开始，我们来聊一聊单位和度量衡背后的故事。度量衡听起来稀松平常，甚至有些无聊，但可真不是小事：它的背后有烧了几亿美元的事故、差点坠毁的客机、还有海盗和断头台！美国差一点就用上公制了？秦始皇统一度量衡又是怎么做到的？
顺着这些「血案」，我们又追溯了一下人类是怎么一步步把长度、重量、温度、时间这些度量单位确定下来的，发现他们的发展逻辑有诸多相似之处。ft 这个单位真的和脚有关吗？量钻石的克拉其实和一种豆子有关？最初的摄氏度温标设计让人大跌眼镜？最有趣的还数法国大革命试图推广的「十进制时间」和「共和历」，虽然推广失败，但是不得不承认，设计得…
