Volume CVIII, Issue XII: Highlights from the Alchemical Exposition

The first-ever Alchemical Exposition was a celebration of the spirit and ingenuity of the greater alchemical engineering community. Practitioners from all over the world convened to share insights, exchange ideas, and even give members of the public a rare opportunity to view the latest developments. We are proud to feature some of the most popular demonstrations from this triumphal event, and wish to thank all who contributed.
