When ITER's tokamak finally comes online (as of July 2024, that's 2034 for its first round of research, and 2039 for deuterium-tritium fusion), it will become the world's biggest fusion reactor. But don't hold your breath for a green...

Mercury, Venus, and Mars are all super low on water – so where did ours come from and why do we have so much of it? We think our water came from a few unlikely sources: meteorites, space dust, and even the sun.

Scientists working at a nuclear fusion facility in Oxford announced a record-breaking result. And while there's still a lot to figure out to make fusion viable, this brings us one step closer to realizing a technology with huge potential...

What is heavy water, and is it safe to drink? Heavy water, or deuterium oxide, has some pretty important scientific applications. But what would happen to your body if you actually drank it? Hosted by Hank Green.

Water is one of the most abundant and important substances on Earth, so you think we'd know everything there is to know about it. Turns out, water is so much stranger and more complex than we ever thought! Join Olivia Gordon for a new...

It took some time for us to realize it isn’t the best idea for scientists to experiment on themselves. But along the way, sometimes at the expense of the health of scientists, we have gained crucial insights into their areas of study.

The source of earth's water is something of a mystery, and some scientists are starting to think that the sun might have provided the special ingredients to help.

This video is about the line between Brown dwarfs and gas giant planets (aka...

Many researchers believe that all the water on Mars dried up, but some evidence suggests that it might have dried in.

Scientists working at a nuclear fusion facility in Oxford announced a record-breaking result. And while there's still a lot to figure out to make fusion viable, this brings us one step closer to realizing a technology with huge potential...

While Jupiter is nowhere near massive enough to initiate fusion in its core, there are even more massive objects out there that fall just short of that achievement as well called brown dwarfs. Brown dwarfs, have a mass that places them...

Heavy water, or deuterium oxide, has some important scientific applications, but let's say you're reeeeaallly thirsty... is it safe to drink?

Snowflakes are infinitely beautiful, but are they infinitely unique? Here's all the science behind Earth's favorite cold crystal

There are renewable energy sources here on Earth, but to meet our clean energy needs we should consider every possible option, including the Moon.

Why did allied soldiers in World War Two embark on a dangerous mission to stop the Nazis using heavy water? Chemistry - Atoms And Bonding - Learning Points. Atoms that have the same number of protons and electrons but different numbers...

The Joint European Taurus (JET) is a cutting-edge nuclear fusion reactor in the UK, paving the way for clean and safe energy production. Using a tokamak design, JET harnesses the power of plasma heated to extreme temperatures to achieve...

China is creating an artificial star that burns at temperatures eight times hotter than our sun by replicating its energy-generating, hydrogen fusion process on Earth.

It's time to start our survey of the periodic table, and we are going to start with just one element, hydrogen. This is the most abundant element in the universe by a wide margin. What does it do? What are its properties? What are its...

A conversation about NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) and the Echelon-Cross-Echelle Spectrograph (EXES) science instrument with Matthew Richter, Principle Investigator, and Edward Montiel, Postdoctoral...

This nugget justifies the position of Hydrogen in the modern periodic table and discusses the occurrence of isotopes of Hydrogen.

For decades, planetary scientists have suspected that ancient Mars was a much warmer, wetter environment than it is today, but estimates of just how much water Mars has lost since its formation vary widely. Now, new isotopic...

At the start of the 20th century scientists had a good estimate of how old the Earth was. At least several billion years of age. This led to the tricky question as to how the Sun not only generated heat and light, but how it had done...

The video is a lecture on the topic of nuclear fusion, which involves the combination of two small nuclei to form one larger nucleus. The lecturer compares nuclear fusion with nuclear fission, which is the splitting of a nucleus into two...
