8m · Published 22 Feb 14:23

Johann Friedrich Böttger is credited with bringing porcelain to Europe. At the time porcelain was as valuable as gold, so no surprise that it took an alchemist to do it.

Marie Curie

26m · Published 18 Feb 20:29

Marie Curie isn't really an alchemist, but she did show that "transmutation" does happen in nature. Normally this is out of the scope of The History of Alchemy Podcast, but we took the opportunity to compare modern atomic theory to the one of alchemists.

To make up for us going out of scope we tell how to make gold at the end of the episode. No tricks, really turning mercury into gold using modern science!

Paul of Taranto

13m · Published 13 Feb 22:02

Paul of Taranto may have been one of the the "Pseudo-Gebers" and had an interesting theory of the composition of metals (basically mercury and sulphur) that would become canon to alchemical theory. It's interesting for us to see a monk in the 13th century sitting in a lab going for reproducibility.

Alchemist First: Isaac Newton

23m · Published 01 Feb 15:29
