3 Surprising Things Matter Does Under Extreme Pressure

Things get weird under pressure.

Mister Brown and Squeaks decide to design a solar oven, so they can cook their lunch while they play outside!

In 2010, South Korea experienced a particularly cold winter. People couldn't activate their smartphones while wearing gloves, so they began wielding snack sausages— causing one company to see a 40% rise in sausage sales. So, what could...

In this video Paul Andersen describes the structure and explains the properties of molecular solids. High intramolecular forces hold electrons and reduce conductivity, whereas low intermolecular forces decrease the melting point. ...

Learn the key principles of electrostatic equilibrium in this clear and engaging physics lesson from Flipping Physics. Discover why the electric field inside a conductor is zero, how excess charges distribute themselves on the surface,...

Electrical conductivity varies from metals to insulators. Solids can be divided into three categories: conductors, insulators, and semiconductors. Conductors are solids through which electricity can flow to a large extent, classified as...

Band Theory Dissection: Conduction in Various Substances

The band theory of solids is a fundamental concept in solid-state physics that explains the conduction of electricity in substances based on the arrangement of energy levels...

What are circuits and why do we need them? What happens if you break a circuit? Physics - Electricity And Circuits - Learning Points. Circuits are composed of a voltage source and components. The current in a series circuit is the same...

We use a metal box holding rods of different materials to test their ability to conduct heat. The box is filled with boiling water and a paperclip is attached to the end of each rod using petroleum jelly. As the heat moves through the...

Dr. Forrester explains the production of electricity and materials used to insulate and conduct it.

Dr. Forrester defines the terms conductor, resistor, and insulators by relating them to electrical charges. She also performs an experiment and labels objects as conductors or insulators.

This video explores five fun facts about circuit components.

This video is answering the question of what are conductors and insulators.

This video explores five fun facts about conductors.

Electricity makes our lives easier every day. We use electricity in our work and play. Because electricity is virtually unseen, it is often difficult to understand just where it comes from and how it works. By watching the video and...

The video discusses two experiments to investigate thermal insulation. The first experiment involves comparing the effectiveness of different insulating materials, while the second experiment investigates the effects of changing the...

The video discusses the concept of unwanted energy transfers and ways to reduce them. The video highlights two examples of how energy is lost through friction and conduction, and presents solutions for each case. For friction,...
