18.01.2022 Check out the Centre's glass lungs which we use for our free radical and cigarette demonstration! Both lungs contain a compound called a nitroxide-fluorophore. The nitroxide-fluorophore glows blue when it encounters free radicals. The lung on the right in this picture is glowing as cigarette smoke is passed through it indicating there are free radicals in cigarette smoke.

14.01.2022 This morning I was reminded about an article published back in Feb 2011 in The Age. It is an oldie but a goodie! The research outlined in the story is being conducted by Free Radical Centre researchers, Caroline Kyi and Professor Carl Schiesser. They are using chemistry to inform the future of art conservation. http://www.theage.com.au//sparing-our-treasures-an-art-att

04.01.2022 In this video both flasks contain a special compound which glows (fluoresces) only when it encounters free radicals. The flask on the left is the control solution containing the compound and air. The flask on the right also contains the compound but has cigarette smoke bubbled through it. This flask has increased fluorescence as more cigarette smoke is past through it, indicating that there are high levels of free radicals in cigarette smoke.
