Quantum Mechanics - Part 2: Crash Course Physics
e=mc2... it's a big deal, right? But why? And what about this grumpy cat in a box and probability? In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini attempts to explain a little more on the topic of Quantum Mechanics.

Hardy's Paradox | Quantum Double Double Slit Experiment
This video is about Hardy's Paradox, wherein an electron and positron (or photons polarized horizontally and vertically) pass through Mach-Zehnder interferometers that overlap such that the particles have a chance of annihilating. If...

How Quantum Mechanics Saved Physics From Ovens
You might think that quantum physics was discovered because of some super complicated electron behavior or something, but it was actually invented to explain ovens.

Bonding Models and Lewis Structures: Crash Course Chemistry
Models are great, except they're also usually inaccurate. In this episode of Crash Course Chemistry, Hank discusses why we need models in the world and how we can learn from them... even when they're almost completely wrong. Plus, Lewis...

TED-Ed: How does your smartphone know your location? - Wilton L. Virgo
GPS location apps on a smartphone can be very handy when mapping a travel route or finding nearby events. But how does your smartphone know where you are? Wilton L. Virgo explains how the answer lies 12,000 miles over your head, in an...

Quantum Mechanics - Part 1: Crash Course Physics
What is light? That is something that has plagued scientists for centuries. It behaves light a wave... and a particle... what? Is it both? In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini introduces to the idea of Quantum Mechanics and how...

The Strange, Frictionless World of Superfluids
Imagine a cup of tea that doesn't obey the laws of physics, it pours out of the bottom of your cup while crawling up the sides to the top, and you'll have a pretty good picture of the ultracold phenomena of superfluids.

There's a Big Problem With Silicon. What's Next?
Silicon transistors allowed computers to shrink from the size of houses to watches in a short time, but engineers are facing a problem: we've almost hit the limit on how small silicon transistors can get.

This Is Not What an Atom Looks Like
What does an atom look like? Throughout history scientists and philosophers have attempted to answer this question. As a result, they've come up with some useful models for understanding the building blocks of our universe.

The Bohr Atom
In this video Paul Andersen describes the major parts of an atom and explains how the Bohr Model more accurately represents the location of electrons around the nucleus. Niels Bohr refined the Rutherford model to account for spectra.

Electron Configuration
In this video Paul Andersen explains how to write out the electron configuration for atoms on the periodic table. More importantly he shows you why electrons arrange themselves in shells, subshells and orbitals by using Coulomb's law and...

Atomic Models
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the atomic model has changed over time. A model is simply a theoretical construct of phenomenon and so when we receive new data we may have to refine our model. Ionization energy data resulted in...
