Does Antimatter Fall?
In September 2023, a group of scientists from CERN published the first results from the ALPHA-g experiment, which seeks to figure out how antimatter responds to the force of gravity. Does it fall like regular matter? Does it not interact...

This Element Doesn't Fit the Periodic Table
One of the most famous elements in the periodic table doesn't really belong anywhere chemists would like to put it.

The Spiders That Turn Stars into Planets
Neutron stars, are some of the most extreme phenomenon in the universe. It's doubly so for a subset known as pulsars. Some are spinning so fast, and are so massive, that astronomers aren't entirely sure how they got to be that way. One...

Are there Undiscovered Elements Beyond The Periodic Table?
Adamantium, bolognium, dilithium. Element Zero, Kryptonite. Mythril, Netherite, Orichalcum, Unobtanium. We love the idea of fictional elements with miraculous properties that science has yet to discover. But is it really possible that...

The Nuclear-Powered Clocks of the Future
Atomic clocks are the best timekeepers humanity's got these days, but scientists are working toward something even better: a SUB-atomic (aka nuclear) clock.

Meet CERN's New Particle: A Double-Charm Baryon!
This week, CERN announced a new particle that will help further understanding of the fundamental forces, and a simulation of ancient creatures may give us a clue as to how life grew beyond the microscopic.

Why Don't We Have Nuclear Fusion Power Yet?
Thanks to LastPass for sponsoring this video. Check out LastPass here: http://bit.ly/2GbcEci Fusion power is supposed to save us from fossil fuels, so when is nuclear fusion going to be a viable option and why has it been so elusive?

What Really Happened the First Time We Split a Heavy Atom in Half
When scientists first split the atom, they didn’t realize what they’d done until physicist Lise Meitner figured out they had discovered what we now call nuclear fission.

Why Scientists Want to Build a Shoebox-Sized Particle Accelerator
If you want to make particles move really fast, you have to build a particle accelerator that is really big, right? Not anymore! Hosted by: Hank Green

Why the Weak Nuclear Force Ruins Everything
The weak force has been causing trouble for a century, ruining everything physicists thought was true. But it might actually be responsible for your very existence.

Systems and Objects
In this video Paul Andersen explains the differences between a system and an object. Depending on the scale it often times easies to view a system as an object if the constituent parts aren't relevant to the question being asked. He also...

How Stars Freeze
When you think of a frozen object in space, you might think of Pluto, but stars themselves actually freeze.

Michel Laberge: How synchronized hammer strikes could generate nuclear fusion
Our energy future depends on nuclear fusion, says Michel Laberge. The plasma physicist runs a small company with a big idea for a new type of nuclear reactor that could produce clean, cheap energy. His secret recipe? High speeds,...

Conservation of Nucleon Number
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the nucleon number and charge is conserved in all nuclear reactions and radioactive decay. Fission, fusion, alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay all conserve the number of neutrons and...
