Google celebrates German Chemist’s 200th birthday, chemicals in bottles on today’s Google Doodle.

Google Doodle is back with another technology-related celebration. And this time, the search engine giant is celebrating the 200th birthday of German chemist Bunsen, Robert Wilhelm von, or Robert Bunsen in short.
Familiar right? Bunsen might be familiar, especially if you already finished your Chemistry subject, because he invented the Bunsen burner — an apparatus inside our Chemistry laboratories.
Bunsen Burner is the thing to use if we need to produce a gas flame for heating our chemicals, as well as sterilization, and combustion. Apparently, Google Doodle’s letter G is the Bunsen Burner, very cute Google. Very cute.
Robert Bunsen also developed the first “extremely accurate” methods of gas analysis or now popularly called “Gasometric Methods.” Google used the second G to commemorate Bunsen’s gas analysis, if I’m not mistaken.
