Learn the basics about the principles of green chemistry as part of the environmental chemistry topic.

They say clothes make the person, but what about clothes that could one day heat, cool, compute and even monitor our health? They're coming! See how they're being made in this episode of Innovation Nation with Miles O'Brien.

In this video we examine the process of digesting our food. We shall see how biological catalysts called enzymes break these food molecules apart and why they are necessary. Think of our food molecules as a train of trucks all coupled...

Learn the basics about plasticisers and hardeners, when learning about polymers as a part of the overall organic chemistry topic.

Learn the basics about the uses of polymers, as a part of organic chemistry. Learn about PVC and PTFE. Different polymers have their specific uses and also problems associated with polymers. Polymers are long chain organic molecules made...

Muscle fibers, DNA and plastics are all examples of polymers. Watch this video to learn more.

Learn the basics about what designer polymers are, some examples of them, and how chemical properties are used to perform a particular function. Polymers have been around for a long time. Some of the commonly named examples are found in...

Everyone has heard of proteins. What are they on the molecular level? They're polymers of amino acids, of course. They make up most of your body, so we have to understand their structure very well! Check this out to learn the hierarchy...

In this week’s episode, we learn about new materials with self-healing properties that could also remove paint from walls. And we explore Greenland’s fastest moving glacier and how it affects sea level rise. Check it out!

We've been hearing about DNA since the third grade, and we all know that it's a double helix with little ladder rungs. But now we are ready to understand this molecule on a more fundamental level, which will enable to us to understand...
