If you’ve been paying attention so far in this series, you’ve probably heard of benzene. This molecule is flat, cyclic, and belongs to a special class of compounds known as aromatics. In this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry,...

Nuclear Fusion and Energy.

Taylor Wilson was 14 when he built a nuclear fusion reactor in his parents' garage. Now 19, he returns to the TED stage to present a new take on an old topic: fission. Wilson, who has won backing to create a company to realize his...

Taylor Wilson believes nuclear fusion is a solution to our future energy needs, and that kids can change the world. And he knows something about both of those: When he was 14, he built a working fusion reactor in his parents' garage. Now...

How To Survive The First Hour Of A Nuclear Blast / Fallout!

The situation has played out in TV and movies for years, but what should you really do if a nuke detonated near
you?
Will the fireball automatically obliterate...

China will rapidly expand its nuclear energy production over the next 15 years as part of an all-of-the-above energy push to meet its people's insatiable demand for electricity.

Mr. Andersen contrasts nuclear reactions to chemical reactions. He explains the four main forces of nature; including gravity, electromagnetism, strong, and weak nuclear forces. He also explains how fusion differs from fission.

Some of the greatest advances in science have come from humanity's more destructive impulses. This is not the fault of science - when we discover powerful truths about the universe it's up to us to decide how to use them because...

Two protons next to each other in an atomic nucleus are repelling each other electromagnetically with enough force to lift a medium-sized labradoodle off the ground. Release this energy and you have, well, you have a nuclear explosion. ...

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.

Some works of art can be worth thousands, even millions, of dollars. But what if you aren't so sure that Van Gogh you just bought to hang over your toilet is the real deal? Luckily, we can use science to sniff out fakes! Hosted by: Hank...

If we reduce our use of fossil fuels, we will reduce the amount of extra carbon dioxide that we put into the atmosphere. There are 2 ways to reduce our carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels: 1) We make our processes more...

Radioactivity is the property through which a heavier, unstable nucleus assumes a more stable state by emitting radiation. The process through which a nucleus turns into a stable one is called radioactive decay. But is radioactivity or...

Renewable energy is not just one field, it can be broken up into solar, wind, geothermal,...

We're at Sellafield, in the "active" area of its National Nuclear Laboratory. Getting up close to Uranium, Plutonium, Neptunium and Americium. More detailed videos on those elements coming soon. In this video are Martyn Poliakoff and...

In this video Paul Andersen explains how the charge is conserved in nuclear reactions. When elementary particles are created or destroyed in a reaction the net change in charge will remain constant. Alpha, beta -, and beta+ decay are...

This video is about how efficient various reactions are at converting mass to energy (as we know from the Einstein mass-energy equivalence of E=mc^2). Antimatter is very efficient but it is not...

Marie Sk_odowska Curie's revolutionary research laid the groundwork for our understanding of physics and chemistry, blazing trails in oncology, technology, medicine, and nuclear physics, to name a few. But what did she actually do?...

While you might not think about quantum mechanics being part of your everyday life, it turns out that it might play a role in some of the most familiar things, from the sunlight in the trees to the nose on your face! Chapters View all...
