A research team at MIT developed a novel nanoparticle that detects blood clots before they cause stroke or other adverse cardiac events. This non-invasive clot detection assay presents an fast and affordable method to screen for blood...

Look, up in the sky, it's a particle! It's a wave! Actually it's both. It's light! How do we know about this stuff? Well, because of Einstein for one. He did more than E = mc^2, you know. But don't stare at the sun to see for yourself,...

On why I was very wrong. In my previous video, I said that spin isnt very linked to angular momentum at all- but in fact, theres a key property of angular momentum that spin has, suggesting they are linked after all. Book recommendation:...

In this episode Ill describe the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics and talk about what it really means.

What are the issues with the Bohr model of the atom (Neils Bohr)? Some issues with this mode helped early physicists invent and develop the discipline of quantum mechanics.<br/>

Here we show another way to graphically interpret first order ordinary differential equations (ODE's) in the form dx/dt = f(x). Rather than solve the differential equation by integrating, which is often impractical, it's useful to graph...

This video lecture focuses on how the volume of a gas affects its pressure. It first explains how temperature affects pressure and then delves into the example of how a fixed mass and temperature of gas stored in a piston react to...

Index theory is a method used to gain global information about a nonlinear differential equation. One powerful insight is that closed orbits (periodic solutions) must have at least one fixed point inside of the curve....

It explain that matter is made up of particles, the size of its particles, characteristics of particles of matter, different states of matter.

Learn the basics about changes of state as part of the solids, liquids and gases topic within properties of matter.

It explains the discovery of protons and neutrons and their characteristics.

The video explains the three main states of matter, which are solids, liquids and gases, and their properties. The concept of state symbols is introduced to indicate what state chemicals or particles are in a reaction. The video also...

This nugget explains how a charge is affected by combined electric and magnetic fields. It explain in detail explanation of application of this phenomenon, the cyclotron.

Hawking radiation was first discovered by English scientist Stephen Hawking in 1974. Prior to this discovery, our knowledge of black holes was very limited. It was believed that black holes were completely black and that they did not...

Quantum physics deals with the foundation of our world – the electrons in an atom, the protons inside the nucleus, the quarks that build those protons, and the photons that we perceive as light. These constitute everything that we are...

This video is a lecture on specific latent heat, which looks at the energy absorbed or emitted by a substance as it changes states (solid, liquid, or gas). The lecture discusses two equations that can be used to calculate the amount of...

Dark matter has so far foiled most means of detection, but researchers are continuing to pursue its mysteries. They're using the most sensitive detector yet, called XENON100, to try to glimpse the particles. See how it works in this...

This video provides a basic understanding of electricity, explaining how it is generated and how it powers our everyday appliances and devices. Explore the fundamental particles that make up matter and how electrons flow to create...

When a point particle is moving along a circle, should we use the translational or rotational kinetic energy equation? Should we use the point particle or rigid object with shape equation for angular momentum? The equations are also...

The villa was constructed at Tibur (modern-day Tivoli) as a retreat from Rome for Roman Emperor Hadrian during the second and third decades of the 2nd century AD. Hadrian is said to have disliked the palace on the Palatine Hill in Rome,...

When a point particle collides with a rigid object with shape which is allowed to rotate on a stationary axis, is linear momentum of the system conserved? Is angular momentum of the system conserved? These questions are answered using...

Water in the Air reveals the varied phases of water that surround us, fall on us, travel in air, and serve as a crucial component of the water cycle. Emphasis is on the fact that water in air can be vapor or solid, visible or invisible,...

Black holes are not as black as we once thought. They are theorized to die a slow death by evaporation, emitting energy known as Hawking radiation. But the mechanism for evaporation is not well understood. Then again, no one has ever...

Imagine having the ability to manipulate light waves in order to see through a skull right into the brain, or being able to use lasers to diagnose a bacterial infection in a matter of minutes. At the Center for Biophotonic Sensors and...
