Research update that I think y’all will like:
So I’m supposed to be making compounds out of metal and tellurium. Namely, the two I’m showing y’all are NbCoTe2 and NbNiTe2. Normally, they make a featureless black powder that I can use to build plate structures with. Here’s a photo of the boring powder (NbCoTe2)
BUT, my experiment for NbNiTe2 went a little… awry. Behold purple:
What has happened? I have no idea! Did I put a contaminant in there by accident? Did the tube get eaten by a chemical inside of it? Why purple? Why such a pretty purple? So many questions to ask, and so many machines to get trained on.
TLDR look at the pretty purple crystal in second spoiler box. It ain’t supposed to be there but here we are.
