Mercury is the most beautiful element in the periodic table, and the most reviled. The only liquid metal, its unusual chemistry has opened a window to the invisible world of atoms and molecules. With videos and demonstrations, including the incredible mercury beating heart and the mysterious barometric light, chemist Andrea Sella explores the lore of mercury and tries to get to the heart of why we love it and hate it too.
