Wave-Particle Duality - Part 2
In this video Paul Andersen explains how classical waves (like light) can have particle properties. Albert Einsetein used the photoelectric effect to show how photons have particle properties.

The Search for Antimatter
If you don't have any idea what antimatter is, you don't have to feel bad - the brightest minds in the world have only recently begun to understand what it is and how it works. Hank gives us the run down on what we know about antimatter,...

3 Chemistry Experiments That Changed the World
Chemistry is the study of matter - stuff, and how it interacts with other stuff. Even though chemistry doesn't make a lot of news these days, chemists are making discoveries that change lives all the time. If Hank had to narrow down all...

El Nino and Why We Can't Predict the Weather
What is El Nino? Why can't we predict the weather? Just a few slight changes in global climate patterns can drastically shift the weather. Thanks to chaos theory, even our smartest meteorologists can't predict weather correctly.

TED-Ed: What is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle? - Chad Orzel
The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that you can never simultaneously know the exact position and the exact speed of an object. Why not? Because everything in the universe behaves like both a particle and a wave at the same time....

Quantum Tunneling Takes a Surprisingly Long Time
Quantum tunneling happens when a particle seemingly teleports across a barrier. But despite how instantaneous this event sounds, recent research suggests that it doesn’t happen nearly as fast as you might think.

TED-ED: Could we create dark matter? - Rolf Landua
Eighty-five percent of the matter in our universe is dark matter. We don't know what dark matter is made of, and we've yet to directly observe it, but scientists theorize that we may actually be able to create it in the Large Hadron...

Weak Interaction The Four Fundamental Forces of Physics #2
Hank continues our series on the four fundamental forces of physics by describing the weak interaction, which operates at an infinitesimally small scale to cause particle decay.

TED-Ed: Is light a particle or a wave? - Colm Kelleher
Can we accurately describe light as exclusively a wave or just a particle? Are the two mutually exclusive? In this third part of his series on light and color, Colm Kelleher discusses wave-particle duality and its relationship to how we...
