From the details I assume it needs to concern a specific experiment, rather than just some musings.

In recent news, in Nature Chemestry, *"Coulomb explosion during the early stages of the reaction of alkali metals with water"* ([online version](http://www.nature.com/nchem/journal/v7/n3/full/nchem.2161.html)) has the *Mythbusters* appeal.  When combined with the you-tube lead-up to the formal experiments, it is quite approachable, and the equipment etc. is explained in the informal videos.
