Scientists in the nineteenth century discovered a lot about life and matter. But exactly what kind of stuff is the human brain? That one was—and is—tricky.



The brain sciences—with experiments and therapies tied to biological...

In this video Paul Andersen explains how matter can act as a wave at the nanoscale. Louis de Broglie showed that the wavelength of matter can be calculated using the momentum of an object and Planck's constant. The Davisson-Germer...

Hey... what's matter? No no no, not what's THE matter. What's MATTER? In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks about what matter is and the three states of matter: Solid, Liquid, and Gas. She also does a quick experiment that...

This video is about the Ozma problem of distinguishing the chirality (ie left-handedness or...

We've all had the experience: you're walking across a soft carpet, you reach for the doorknob and - ZAP. But what causes this trademark jolt of static electricity? Anuradha Bhagwat sheds light on the phenomenon by examining the nature of...

Like positive and negative, or debit and credit, matter and antimatter are equal and opposite. So if matter falls down, does antimatter fall up? Chloe Malbrunot investigates that question by placing two atoms - one made of matter, and...

Roughly 85 percent of mass in the universe is "dark matter" -- mysterious material that can't be directly observed but has an immense influence on the cosmos. What exactly is this strange stuff, and what does it have to do with our...

Physicists estimate that dark matter accounts for about twenty three percent of the known universe - the only problem is that no one really knows what it is...

Bath time's a great time to do experiments with water, and Squeaks wants to show you a great trick you can try out next time you're in the tub!

Explore the fascinating world of matter in this science experiment video featuring a plastic bottle. Witness how gases, liquids, and solids interact within the confines of a simple plastic container. From dynamic gas expansions to...

In this captivating science experiment video, a plastic bottle becomes the stage for an exploration of the properties and behaviors of gases, liquids, and solids. Watch as the bottle transforms into a dynamic laboratory, showcasing the...

A video entitled “Classifying Matter” which discusses the physical characteristics of matter, including how those characteristics can be used to understand, study, and experiment on all states of matter.

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

Dark matter is a scientific mystery. We can't see or touch it. But physicists like Dan McKinsey theorize it must exist because, without it, the universe would look quite different.



With support from the National...

Is dark matter real? What is dark matter made of?Axions, Wimps, Machos explained. (Part 2 will be "why dark matter may not be matter at all") One of the biggest questions in science is: What is the...

Dark matter has so far foiled most means of detection, but researchers are continuing to pursue its mysteries. They're using the most sensitive detector yet, called XENON100, to try to glimpse the particles. See how it works in this...

Community, students and scientists benefit from partnership to assess particulate matter pollution



Middle and high school students in Salt Lake City are helping scientists and the community better understand particulate...

As Psychology is a science, it uses the experimental method in a similar way to Physics, Chemistry and Biology. However, because of the subject matter Psychologists are studying, it can sometimes seem a bit confusing. Under the hood, a...

Physical Science for Kids is the fun way to learn important facts about physical science and get ready for tests. Take a fascinating journey to the Super Science Station to learn about lab safety, the scientific method, atoms, molecules,...

Dark Matter is one of the biggest mysteries of our universe. It makes up more than a quarter of our universe, but what is it? And how do we know it's there? Find out about dark matter in this video.

It is no easy task to film thousands of penguins in their natural habitat on a remote Antarctic coastline—but it was made possible with the support of the National Science Foundation-managed U.S. Antarctic Program. See what it was like...

The video is a lecture presentation on a simple distillation experiment. The presenter explains the process of separating a mixture of water and ink using simple distillation. The equipment required for the experiment is shown and is...

This video is a lecture presentation analyzing the results of an experiment on the relationship between force and extension in a spring. The presenter uses graphs, tables, and equations to explain how the force and extension are...
