Happy 6th Anniversary Chemfusion 🎉✨️

শুভ নববর্ষ ১৪৩৩ : ঐতিহ্যের রঙে,একটু বেশি রসায়ন।

তোমরা কী জানো,বাংলা সনের প্রবর্তন হয় হিজরী ও সৌর পঞ্জিকার এক অনন্য রসায়নের মধ্য দিয়ে?
বাংলা সন প্রবর্তনের ইতিহাস ঘাটলে দেখতে পাই,মোঘল সম্রাটের শাসনকার্য পরিচালিত হতো হিজরী সন অনুযায়ী।কিন্তু চন্দ্রবর্ষ(Lunar Calendar)প্রতি বছর ১০/১১ দিন এগিয়ে যাওয়ায় খাজনা আদায়ে দেখা দিতো বিড়ম্বনা।

তাই সম্রাট আকবরের সিংসাসনে আরহণের দিন(হিজরী ৯৬৩ সালের মুহররম মাস) ও শকাব্দের (মধ্য এশিয়ার প্রাচীন রাজা 'শক' কর্তৃক প্রবর্তিত সাল) বৈশাখ মাসের এক চমৎকার রাসায়নিক বিক্রিয়া থেকে সৃষ্টি হয় আমাদের প্রিয় বঙ্গাব্দ।

ফসলি সন থেকে কালক্রমে বাঙালি জাতির ঐতিহ্যের প্রতীক হয়ে উঠা বাংলা নববর্ষকে একটু বেশি রঙিন করেছে রসায়নের ছোঁয়া।

ভাবছো কী অদ্ভুত আষাড়ে গল্প?
চলো কিছু উদাহরণের মধ্য থেকে রসায়নের অবদানকে বিচার করে নেই।

১- বৈশাখি মেলায় আমরা যে মাটির পাত্র বা টেরাকোটা দেখতে পাই তাতে পোড়ামাটির প্রলেপ দেওয়া হয় টেরাকোটাকে চকচকে ও পানিঅভেদ্য করার জন্য। এই প্রলেপ তৈরি করা হয় উচ্চ তাপমাত্রায় সিলিকা, ফেল্ডস্পার(KAlSi3O8) ও বিভিন্ন ধাতব অক্সাইডকে মিশিয়া যাকে আমরা সিরামিক গ্লেজ হিসেবে চিনি।

২- আমরা যে আলপনা গুলো দেখতে পাই সেখানে যোগ করা হয় বিভিন্ন প্রাকৃতিক ও কৃথিম পিগমেন্ট।

এছাড়া মিষ্টিমুখোর এই দিনে মিষ্টিতে হওয়া ছানার প্রোটিনের ডি-ন্যাচুরেশন জানান দেয় রসায়ন ছাড়া এই দিনটা কতোটা ফ্যাকাশে!

তাই রাসায়নিক পরীক্ষার মতোই আমরা আমাদের সংস্কৃতি এবং ঐতিহ্যকে সচেতনভাবে, যত্নসহকারে ধারণ করি।

বিজ্ঞানপ্রেমী সবাইকে তাই কেমফিউশনের পক্ষ থেকে নতুন বছরের আন্তরিক শুভেচ্ছা ও ভালোবাসা।

𝐈𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐌𝐞𝐥𝐭 𝐚 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐬? 🚨

Movies like Breaking Bad depict acids dissolving human bodies into nothingness within minutes, often leaving just a puddle. This dramatic flair captivates audiences but wildly exaggerates reality. Scientifically, strong acids can degrade human tissue, yet complete dissolution is far slower, messier, and incomplete without extreme conditions.

𝐀𝐜𝐢𝐝'𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬🧪

Hydrochloric or sulfuric acid attacks skin first, melts flesh and exposes bone, as seen in acid violence cases. Concentrated sulfuric acid dehydrates proteins and carbs, turning tissue into a black goo over days at room temperature—flesh in about 48 hours, bones in weeks or a month. Experiments confirm this: University of Milan tests took two days for soft tissue and bones even with heated acid, leaving crumbly fragments needing manual crushing.
Hydrofluoric acid, featured in Breaking Bad, is highly toxic but poor for full dissolution due to handling risks and incomplete bone breakdown. Pressurized, superheated lye (not acid) can liquify a body faster—around two hours—yielding amino acid slurry and bone bits, per forensic studies. Even the super acid like Fluoroantimonic acid is insanely powerful, but it can badly damage a body.
It cannot completely dissolve it into nothing.
Real-world chemistry is far less dramatic than fiction.

Why movies lie:📽️

Hollywood prioritizes speed and spectacle. Real disposal requires vast acid volumes (500-550 liters per body), generates toxic fumes, and leaves evidence like bone shards or sludge. No common acid fully vaporizes everything instantly; residues persist, detectable forensically.
In truth, acids destroy but don't erase. Survivors of attacks suffer permanent scars, blindness, and bone erosion—not cinematic vanishing acts. Forensic science debunks the myth: bodies persist in acid baths for days, often intact enough for identification.

আজ ২৬ শে মার্চ আমাদের গৌরবের দিন, আমাদের স্বাধীনতার দিন। প্রতিটি বাঙালির আশা আকাঙ্ক্ষা বাস্তবে রূপান্তরের যাত্রার সূচনা হয়েছিল ১৯৭১ সালের এই দিনে , শুরু হয়েছিল মহান বাংলাদেশের মুক্তিযুদ্ধ—যার মাধ্যমে অসীম ত্যাগ ও সংগ্রামের বিনিময়ে আমরা অর্জন করেছি স্বাধীন বাংলাদেশ।

স্বাধীনতার এই মহান অর্জন আমাদের শেখায়—ঐক্য, সাহস ও দৃঢ় সংকল্প থাকলে কোনো বাধাই অতিক্রম করা অসম্ভব নয়। আমাদের এই স্বাধীনতা অর্জিত হয়েছে অসংখ্য প্রাণের বিনিময়ে এবং অকুতোভয় বীরত্বের মাধ্যমে। আজ আমরা সেই মহান আত্মত্যাগকে স্মরণ করি গভীর শ্রদ্ধাভরে। আসুন, আমরা সবাই মিলে দেশপ্রেম, দায়িত্ববোধ ও নিষ্ঠার মাধ্যমে গড়ে তুলি একটি উন্নত ও সমৃদ্ধ বাংলাদেশ।

সবাইকে স্বাধীনতা দিবসের শুভেচ্ছা 🇧🇩✨

May your Eid be blessed with joy, happiness and prosperity✨🌙

Each and everyday we see countless efforts, dedication, struggle of women around us.
Today is the day when we celebrate the strength, achievements, and contributions of women across the world. From science and education to leadership and social change, women continue to shape our society with courage and determination. Inspired by pioneers like Marie Curie and advocates such as Malala Yousafzai, this day reminds us of the importance of equality, respect, and opportunity for every woman and girl.

Let us honor their achievements and continue working toward a more inclusive and empowering world where no woman have to suffer for being only 'woman' and justice has to be ensured strictly with strong hands.
