How do you get the most light out of a light bulb? That's the task Max Planck took on, and it turned out to be rather...enlightening! The illustrated video introduces physics scholars to Planck's plight, which ultimately changed our...

While we are all familiar with what happens when you turn on a light bulb, Albert Einstein was convinced that there was more happening than meets the eye. The video describes his extension of the research of others to ultimately...

Ever wonder why matter, well, matters so much? In the follow-up to the Theory of Everything video, pupils discover how the Pauli Exclusion Principle, which governs electron behavior, ultimately dictates how matter throughout the universe...

Scholars learn about the basics of quantum computing, starting with Schrodinger's Cat through a video that explains the mathematics behind quantum computers, including the representation of quantum gates as matrices.

Tiny discoveries won big at the 2016 Nobel prize ceremony, recognizing chemists who developed new machines out of molecules and pushed the limits of nanotechnology. Individuals see how physicists created new materials through topology...

In January 2017, the first quantum computer was offered to the public and came with 2000 qubits. The breakthrough that makes quantum computing possible is detailed in a video that also discusses how quantum computing will change...

Schrodinger's cat has been mentioned on more than 17 different popular tv series, yet many people don't understand what the reference means. This engaging video explains what the original thought experiment was and why it was created. It...

Why was Albert Einstein initially labeled as a "failed" academic, and what events occurred in 1905 that constituted a major turning point for this great scientist? Review Einstein's major theories regarding relativity, light...

Not sure how to introduce young physicists to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal? Well this short video is a great place to start, as it explains how the particle and wave nature of matter makes it impossible to know both the...

Can something be both alive and dead at the same time? According to quantum physicist Erwin Schrödinger, the answer is yes. Watch this short video to learn how the wave and particle nature of all matter allows objects to be in two states...

Mistakes aren't always a bad thing. Learn how one of Albert Einstein's greatest contributions to the field of quantum physics was actually a theory that ended up being proven wrong, with this short video on entangled states.

Help young physicists make a quantum leap in their understanding of matter with this short instructional video. Tracing the early work of Max Planck, Albert Einstein, and others, this resource explains the science behind the...

Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore. Step out of the macroscopic world and into the strange, bizarre realm of quantum mechanics with this short instructional video. Using the example of the Schrödinger's Cat thought...

When we take things apart, we can learn how they work. Physicist Clifford Johnson explains how we break down all objects into elementary particles of matter and forces. Patterns have been identified with the particles, the existence dark...

Wanted Schrodinger's cat, dead AND alive! Here is a short video that explains the thought experiment of leaving a cat in a box with something deadly and not knowing if the cat survives. It mentions the difference between Schrodinger's...

The scientific models predicted the Higgs Boson for many years before it was proven. Filmed during the search for the Higgs Boson, the video discusses what it would mean for science if researchers proved it wrong. At the time of this...

Nuclear binding energy is the energy required to split an atom's nucleus into protons and neutrons. Mass defect is the difference between the predicted mass and the actual mass of an atom's nucleus. The binding energy of a system can...

Introduction to Exponential Decay. Using the exponential decay formula to calculate k, calculating the mass of carbon-14 remaining after a given time, and calculating the time it takes to have a specific mass remaining. [9:19]

In this video, David (and surfer Dan) explain how to determine the momentum of a photon.

A few more examples of exponential decay. Practice calculating k from half-life, and calculating initial mass. [7:22]

The video lesson is from Khan Academy's physics library. The lesson provides a definition of orbital as region of high probability for finding electron, and how quantum numbers are used to describe the orbitals. Compares Bohr model...

The video lesson is from Khan Academy's physics library. This lesson demonstrates the calculating of number of orbitals and number of electrons in different kinds of orbitals for n = 1 to 4. Also, the instructor explains that only two...

In the quantum world, physics can get pretty strange.
