  Elias Ashmole and the Birth of Chemistry
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 11-05-2025, 12:58 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

From the Elixir of Life to the Lab Bench: How Elias Ashmole's Alchemical Studies Influenced the Birth of Chemistry

By Noula Karaszi

"This paper explores how Elias Ashmole's dedication to alchemy bridged the mystical and empirical, ultimately influencing the emergence of modern chemistry. By examining his compilation of alchemical texts, personal writings, and the broader intellectual climate of seventeenth-century England, this study reveals how Ashmole's efforts contributed to a gradual epistemological shift. His work helped transform alchemy from a mystical pursuit of immortality into a structured scientific discipline, paving the way for the development of experimental chemistry."

  Where did the gold on Earth come from?
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 11-05-2025, 12:45 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

Is there more on our planet? How much could there be in the Universe? To answer all that, let’s start from the beginning."

by Shravan Hanasoge, an astrophysicist at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research.
