The great physicist Hermann Weyl once said: "My work always tried to unite the true with the beautiful, but when I had to choose one or the other, I usually chose the beautiful." But is this actually good advice for doing physics?

Saturn’s rings, colored photography, and the discovery of electromagnetic waves all have have one thing in common. James Clerk Maxwell. Discover for yourself all the amazing contributions Maxwell made to science.

The study of electricity goes all the way back to antiquity. But, by the time electricity started to become more well known, a few familiar names started to appear. Edison, Galvani, and a few others really changed the way the world worked.

Welcome back to One Good Thing @ Home! This week I take a little detour back into my kitchen to cook up some all natural ingredients that will make you house smell lovely and get rid of old, musty smells from cooking, kids, dirty...

This week I wanted to highlight a really nice, simple under-sink cleaning setup that I've been using. It's made my life easier and also made me feel better since I'm finally switched to cleaning products that employ eco-friendly tablets...

After being stuck inside my house for the past year and a half, Hands and I decided to get out and about – traveling around our city to find good things right under our noses. So many good things that I pick up for my life come from...

In the first example, the expert, Dr Jodie Witkowski, makes the statement that suggests uncertainty about her material. No eye contact to the judge. The second example, the expert clearly and carefully articulates her information in an...

Electromagnetic waves are fundamental to understanding the nature of light and are oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that travel through space, carrying energy from one place to another. The spectrum of light is a...

Time dilation and Einstein’s theory of relativity go hand in hand. Albert Einstein is the most popular physicist, as he formulated the theory of relativity, which gave the Energy mass equivalence formula and is directly related to time...

Heat death of the universe, also called The Big Chill or Big Freeze, will happen when the entropy of the universe will be so high that everything and everyone that lives in it will perish. This will happen because an organism living in...

In this next episode, Mr. P guides us through the culmination of electromagnetic knowledge – Maxwell's equations. After a quick recap of Gauss's law and its magnetic counterpart, the class dives into Faraday's law of induction, unveiling...

The Rocky Mountains supply water to more than 60 million homes in the West, but this crucial water shed is in peril due to a tiny insect called the mountain pine beetle. Scientists Reed Maxwell of Colorado School of Mines and John...

We've covered Gauss' Law for the Electric Field, but what about the magnetic field? That's covered in the second of Maxwell's equations, which we'll discuss in this video. Gauss' Law for the Magnetic Field displays the simplest facts...

For more than four decades, Suzanne C. Carothers has been in the field of education as a teacher of the youngest of learners to – those who do the teaching, those who are school leaders, and those who inform policy affecting children...

Heat death of the universe, also called The Big Chill or Big Freeze, will happen when the entropy of the universe will be so high that everything and everyone that lives in it will perish. This will happen because an organism living in...

SCUBA-2, the world's largest submillimeter camera—based on superconducting technology designed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)—is now ready to scan the universe, including faint and faraway parts never seen...

Quantum mechanics, relativity, space-time, Schrodinger's Cat, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, you've heard of all this stuff but you assume that there's no way you can understand it. Think again! With a little bit of preparation,...
