Mark Kendall: Demo: A needle-free vaccine patch that's safer and way cheaper
One hundred sixty years after the invention of the needle and syringe, we're still using them to deliver vaccines; it's time to evolve. Biomedical engineer Mark Kendall demos the Nanopatch, a one-centimeter-by-one-centimeter square...

Neural Networks and Deep Learning
Today, we're going to combine the artificial neuron we created last week into an artificial neural network. Artificial neural networks are better than other methods for more complicated tasks like image recognition, and the key to their...

TED-Ed: Why are manhole covers round? - Marc Chamberland
Why are most manhole covers round? Sure it makes them easy to roll, and slide into place in any alignment. But there's another, more compelling reason, involving a peculiar geometric property of circles and other shapes. Marc Chamberland...

AP Biology Lab 2: Enzyme Catalysis
Paul Andersen starts with a brief description of enzymes and substrates. He then explains how you can measure the rate of an enzyme mediated reaction. Catalase from yeast is used to break hydrogen peroxide down into water and oxygen. He...

Integrals: Crash Course Physics
Continuing with last week's introduction of calculus, Shini leads us through the ways that integrals can help us figure out things like distance when we have several other key bits of information. Say, for instance, you wanted to know...

Distances
How do astronomers make sense out of the vastness of space? How do they study things so far away? Today Phil talks about distances, going back to early astronomy. Ancient Greeks were able to find the size of the Earth, and from that the...

The Rate Law
Paul Andersen explains how the rate law can be used to determined the speed of a reaction over time. Zeroth-order, first-order and second-order reactions are described as well as the overall rate law of a reaction. The rate of a reaction...

Work and Energy
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the mechanical energy added or removed from a system results from work. For work to occur a force must act parallel to the displacement of the system. Since work and energy are equivalent the...

Work and Power
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the work is a product of the external force applied to an object or system and the distance it moves. Power is a measure of the amount of work done per unit time. The work can be calculated as the...
