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...

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...

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...

Our energy future depends on nuclear fusion, says Michel Laberge. The plasma physicist runs a small company with a big idea for a new type of nuclear reactor that could produce clean, cheap energy. His secret recipe? High speeds,...

When a group of scientists claimed they had achieved nuclear fusion, the discovery became one of the most controversial of the 20th century. What is fusion, and what role does heat play in it? Physics - Energy And Radioactivity -...

The video explains two processes involving atomic nuclei that release large amounts of energy - nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. The video explains how uranium 235 can be made to undergo nuclear fission and also discusses the concept...

The video explains the life cycle of a star, starting from a nebula, gravitational pull forming a protostar, the process of nuclear fusion, formation of a main sequence star, production of elements through fusion, expansion of a main...

Researchers from China's Hefei Institutes of Physical Science reported its fusion reactor reached 100 million degrees Celsius, over six times the temperature of the sun's core.

Physicist Steven Cowley is certain that nuclear fusion is the only truly sustainable solution to the fuel crisis. He explains why fusion will work -- and details the projects that he and many others have devoted their lives to, working...

In this video, I summarize All Nuclear Physics in about 10 minutes. Atoms are made of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons. The nuclei of atoms are made up of protons and neutrons. These are called...

While language models may help generate new ideas, they cannot attack the hard part of science, which is simulating the necessary physics, says AI professor Anima Anandkumar. She explains how her team developed neural operators — AI...

Hydrogen bomb how does it work? The bomb on Hiroshima released the energy equivalent of 15,000 tons of TNT. The first hydrogen bomb released the energy equivalent of 10,000,000 tons of TNT.



While...

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...

Nuclear Fission In a nuclear reactor the controlled slow release of energy is used to heat up a closed loop of coolant which passes to heat exchangers which then boil water to provide steam to turn electrical generators. The output of...

Okay, we've all dreamed about exploring the universe and finding our own little cosmic vacation bungalow. But these places are really far, so how can we get there? Not the way we go through space now, that's just too slow. Are there...

In this video Paul Andersen explains how the nucleon number and charge is conserved in all nuclear reactions and radioactive decay. Fission, fusion, alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay all conserve the number of neutrons and...

Energy Sources | Energy | Physics | FuseSchool There are many different sources of energy, how many can you name? Sources of energy include burning coal, oil, gas and biomass, solar, hydroelectric, tidal, wind, muscle power, geothermal,...

How the principles of nuclear physics have been used to unleash massive destruction. How do fission bombs and thermonuclear bombs work, and what are the differences between the two? Physics - Energy And Radioactivity - Learning Points....

This video is about the differences between the corpses or final degenerate dense star forms that dead stars take: black holes, neutron stars, and white dwarfs. The main distinguishing features between them are the mass cutoffs...

This video is about how to create muons in a particle accelerator via bombardment of heavy nuclei with protons, which results in creation of charged pions (plus and minus). The pions then decay into muons and mu neutrinos, and...

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...

The mass of the sun was well understood, and translates to about 10^57 atoms. This leads to a lifetime of the sun of about 20,000 years. But we know the sun is at least 4.5 billion years old. So where does the...
