Tycho Brahe’s Alchemy Laboratory - Paul Ferguson - 07-25-2024
Chemical Analyses Find Hidden Elements From Renaissance Astronomer Tycho Brahe’s Alchemy Laboratory
"In the Middle Ages, alchemists were notoriously secretive and didn’t share their knowledge with others. Danish Tycho Brahe was no exception. Consequently, we don’t know precisely what he did in the alchemical laboratory located beneath his combined residence and observatory, Uraniborg, on the now Swedish island of Ven. Only a few of his alchemical recipes have survived, and today, there are very few remnants of his laboratory. Uraniborg was demolished after his death in 1601, and the building materials were scattered for reuse."

Researchers discovered an interesting mix of elements from his alchemist laboratory that included tungsten, which wasn’t yet known to science at the time.
The find could spell out why Brahe’s medicines were so popular.
