The word "sustainability" gets thrown around a lot these days. But what does it actually mean for humanity to be sustainable? Environmental data scientist Hannah Ritchie digs into the numbers behind human progress across centuries,...

Buildings are bad news for the climate -- but they don't have to be. While our structures are currently responsible for a third of global energy consumption and emissions, a future where they create more energy than they consume is...

Renewable energy may be the way of the future, but in order to store that energy to make our grids more sustainable, we might need to take a look back at some battery technologies of the past.

All around the world, millions of people are flipping a switch, plugging in, and pressing an 'on' button every second. So how much electricity does humanity use? And how much will we need in the future? Discover how much energy it takes...

This week we are looking at renewable energy sources and why we need them. We’ll explore hydropower, wind, geothermal, and solar power, as well as some of the challenges, and how engineers are working to make their use more widespread.

This video explains the concept of rotational kinetic energy stored in a flywheel, demonstrating its application in vehicles like trucks for efficient energy usage

The team takes on the challenge of creating a ten-meter-long spaghetti strand, pushing the limits of traditional pasta making. Despite initial failures due to the spaghetti's weight, they persevere, attempting new methods to achieve...

We delve into the derivation of the equation for energy stored in the magnetic field generated within an inductor as charges move through it. Explore the basics of LR circuits, where we analyze a circuit comprising an inductor,...

Exploring Carbohydrates identifies the primary functions of carbohydrates by describing how carbohydrates are used as a structural component, for energy storage, and as a source of energy in living organisms.

This video discusses the different types of fat in the human body, where they are located, and their purposes. The teacher explains the evolutionary factors that led to humans being able to store excess calories as fat, and the hormonal...

Solar power and wind power are the two most promising options of how power will be provided in the future. Technology is improving all the time. We are on the brink of a renewable energy revolution. And nowhere is the need for renewable...

To reach our global goal of being net zero carbon emissions by 2050, we must solve one problem - energy storage. Thank you to Toyota for lending us the #Mirai and for sponsoring this series. Scientists, researchers, and engineers are...

This video explores the functions of bones beyond providing structure and support. It takes a deep dive into the inside of bones, discussing the different types of bone tissue and their roles in maintaining health and wellness. The video...

Capacitors Explained, in this tutorial we look at how capacitors work, where capacitors are used, why capacitors are used, the different types. We look at capacitors in Power factor and full bridge rectifiers to convert AC to DC.

Researchers at the University of Cincinnati have developed a technology that could brighten up rooms with natural light and could be applied to any building without the need for renovations. The technology, known as SmartLight, is...
