Fireworks are a classic staple of 4th of July, but how do they work? Before you enjoy a show this weekend, take a look at the chemistry behind them and how they light up the sky.
The CG Life offices will be closed 7/3-7/4. Wishing you a safe and happy holiday!

Uncertainty can lead to discovery! If you’re uncertain how you will be able to get what you need for your next research project, we can help @chemdirect!
‘I am ready to embrace more uncertainties in the future, as beneath the layers of uncertainties resides the discovery of one’s own potential,’ writes @Nsadeer. ‘I want to face more uncertainties so I can find out what else I am capable of.’
