Hank gives us a summary of the important facts about fracking: what it is, why we do it, and how it actually isn't all butterflies and cupcakes.

Of all the mundane yet astonishing marvels of human ingenuity, knowing what it takes to heat a room to a comfortable temperature is TED Fellow Kathy Hannun's favorite. She takes us on a journey across the planet and under the sea to...

Designer Jared Ficklin creates wild visualizations that let us see music, using color and even fire (a first for the TED stage) to analyze how sound makes us feel. He takes a brief digression to analyze the sound of a skatepark -- and...

In which Hank introduces us to the world of Organic Chemistry and, more specifically, the power of hydrocarbon. He talks about the classifications of organic compounds, the structures & properties of alkanes, isomers, and naming...

Organic chemistry is pretty much everywhere! In this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry, we’re talking about the amazing diversity among organic molecules. We’ll learn about the origins of organic chemistry, how to write Lewis...

Plastics are all made in a similar way, but can be manipulated to have very different functions. Discover how their properties are determined. Chemistry - Chemical Industries - Learning Points. Plastics are synthetic materials called...

We create a Rubens\u2019 Tube to demonstrate the movement of sound waves. A tube lined with holes is filled with propane and connected to a speaker. We light the gas coming from the holes and play different frequencies and volumes of...

Functional isomerism occurs when compounds with the same molecular formula have different functional groups. For instance, ethanol (an alcohol) and dimethyl ether (an ether) share the formula 𝐶2𝐻6𝑂C2H6O but differ in their functional...

Hyperconjugation plays a significant role in stabilizing carbocations, where adjacent alkyl groups donate electron density via sigma bonds to the positively charged carbon, spreading the charge and increasing stability.

Dr. Forrester explains how different forms of matter can exist in different states.

In this video, engineers Peter Nortman and Greg Hansen showcase innovative ways to improve fuel efficiency in vehicles, such as enhancing the Toyota Prius with plug-in batteries for ultra-efficient performance. The use of alternative...

fire death machine - i made a rocket

Is it possible to make a fire pit that always makes a fire tornado? I put some ideas to the test in this video to see if its possible!

Hey guys, In this video I use liquid propane as an analogue to liquid nitrogen. Its easy, I just invert a propane cylinder and the propane comes out a a liquid. This liquid is very cold. about -40 degrees! I acts just like liquid...

This video explains the classification of different organic reactions into different groups such as oxidation, reduction, substitution, elimination, and addition. The video goes on to explain four different types of reactions, including...
