The Physics Major
This video mostly goes over two of the biggest classes and fields you learn about as a physics undergrad which is quantum physics and classical physics. I will be going over more classes (in less detail) and more information on the major...

Helping Quantum Computers Study the Physics of the Universe
Quantum computers are still years away, but a trio of theoretical physicists has already figured out at least one talent they may have. The theorists, including one from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), have...

What Is The Computational Power of the Universe?
Can a close look at the universe give us solutions to problems too difficult even for a planet-sized computer to solve? Physicist Stephen Jordan considers this question and more in our latest video.

Do the laws of nature exist?
From Newton's laws to E=mc2, we think we have uncovered the secrets of the universe. But some claim these laws evolve and others point to their human and cultural origins. Might eternal natural laws be human hubris? Or is the mind of God...

Krister Shalm Explains NIST's Participation in the BIG Bell Test
NIST physicist Krister Shalm talks about NIST's participation in the November 30, 2016, BIG Bell Test, a worldwide project to bring human unpredictability (randomness) to cutting-edge physics experiments. But it's not just NIST...

Quantization of Energy Part 1: Blackbody Radiation and the Ultraviolet Catastrophe
So we know that physics got turned upside down at the turn of the 20th century, but how did that all begin? What was the first thing that set this whole chain of events into motion? Well it all started with Planck and the ultraviolet...

The Double-Slit Experiment
This is a classic experiment that is frequently referred to when describing quantum phenomena, so we definitely have to go over it a little bit. What happens when you pass a beam of light through a screen with two slits? What about when...

The Physics of Superconductors
How a superconductor works. Everything from the physics and some of the history as well. Superconductors were discovered in 1911 by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes. It was discovered because it was made possible to liquefy helium which produced...
