Today on SciShow, Hank brings us a little science history, telling us the tale of the world's first human-made nuclear reactor, which was built by a team of scientists and students led by Enrico Fermi in a converted squash court under a...

You might associate levitation with magic, but science has its own version.

If you haven't heard of it before, you have now. And it may prove to be the next big thing in materials science. SciShow explains what it is, why it's so awesome, and what challenges we face in harnessing its amazing properties.

In this episode, Hank talks about Network solids and Carbon and how you can actually create a Diamond from plain old Carbon... well, YOU probably can't unless you own a bunch of elephants. It's a long story. BUT, within you will...

In this video Paul Andersen explains how covalent network solids form elementally (like graphite) or by combining multiple nonmetals (like quartz). Covalent network solids contain elements from the carbon group because they have four...

Nobel Prize–winning economist Milton Friedman explains the power of the free market using the “pencil” analogy—inspired by the original 1958 essay I, Pencil by Leonard E. Read.

Welcome back to the FRAME channel for a feature on the modern production process of pencils on a large scale worldwide, including the procurement of graphite as the primary raw material for pencils.

Welcome on the FRAME channel. Today let's talk about the fascinating world of producing pencils, a technology still massively used today despite being several centuries old.

Carbon-based molecules are the basis of life as we know it. Molecules like lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates that make up all living things have one thing in common - carbon.
