Is the chemistry in Breaking Bad accurate? We took a look

From 2011–2012 we published a number of articles looking at the science behind Breaking Bad.

These articles were part of the On-Screen Chemistry series published in InfoChem and later in The Mole.

Thanks for using Education in Chemistry. You can view one Education in Chemistry article per month as a visitor. 

A photograph of a teacher standing in a white lab coat, speaking with a class of children in a laboratory, is superimposed on a colourful background. Text reads "Teach Chemistry means support for classroom and staff room".
