Microsoft’s chamber in Redmond, officially recognized by Guinness World Records, reaches levels of quiet that defy imagination. But what does it do to the mind when sound itself is gone? This video explores the darkness within absolute silence. | The Brain Maze | Facebook

The anechoic chamber at Orfield Laboratories in Minnesota is the quietest place on Earth, holding the Guinness World Record with a sound level of -24.9 decibels. The intense silence is so disorienting that people begin to hear their own internal sounds, like their heartbeat and blood rushing. This sensory deprivation can cause hallucinations and a loss of balance, which is why the longest anyone has been able to tolerate it is just 45 minutes. - 📹 HIFI RETRO | Entrelligence

We are accepting applications for our Sustainable Laboratories Grant. Since the grant launched we’ve awarded a total of £305k to 33 projects, across 11 countries, supporting people working to improve the environmental footprint of chemistry research. William Gee used the grant to develop greener, more sustainable evidence processing in forensics. What could you achieve?
