Scheduled to launch in the mid-2020s, the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) will function as Hubble’s wide-eyed cousin. While just as sensitive as Hubble's cameras, WFIRST's 300-megapixel Wide Field...

A free society depends on exchanging new ideas, regardless of their potential capability of offending someone. Without the open exchange of ideas , our current understanding of the world would be unrecognizable and entirely false....

This video discusses the concept of electromagnetic induction. The video highlights the factors that affect the size and direction of the induced potential difference. The generator effect is explained, and it is noted that the induced...

Underneath the surface of fearsome monsters we can see that Godzilla is closely linked to the fears of atomic radiation and mecha robots emerged from the extremely rapid industrialization of Japan during the 1960's and 1970's.

We seem to have no problem penalizing patients for being unhealthy (see our episode on wellness programs). But we rarely consider paying patients to be healthier. Why is that? The NEJM has a study to change your mind.

This is a lecture video that explains the factors that affect the size of an induced potential in a current carrying wire when it is moved relative to a magnetic field. The video discusses electromagnetic induction and demonstrates the...

Gravity and erosion are major factors in changing the shape of the surface of Earth. The different types of erosion, and the major types of mass movements caused by gravity are discussed in this video. Other terminology includes:...

In part 5 of INET's interview with Erik Berglöf, he discusses how emerging countries in Asia are increasingly competing with Eastern Europe, but also represent big market opportunities

In this video, the different forms of radioactive emissions are discussed, including alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma radiation. The potential uses of nuclear radiation in medicine and its potential hazards are also explored....

For our third quantum problem we will visit harmonic oscillators. In a classical setting, this is like the ball on a spring we examined when learning about Hooke's law in the classical physics series. But this has quantum application as...

Think your computer transmissions are private at that coffee house? Think again. See how things aren't quite so cyber-secure.

This is a lecture video on the differences between direct and alternating potential difference. The video defines and explains the two types of current and provides examples of each. It also includes graphs that demonstrate how potential...

Magnum opus is a latin term that is defined as someone’s greatest life achievement. It is the highest intersection of talent, skill and hard work, when someone reaches their maximum potential at the exact right time in the exact right...

Do we only use 10% of our brains? That seems like a very low number. What if we could tap into that extra potential? Humans are obsessed with augmenting and improving ourselves. Just look at Iron Man, Lucy, and Limitless. In this...

It explains solar energy as renewable source of energy and the working of a solar cooker, solar water heater and solar cell panel.

Human papillomavirus, or HPV, is a virus that many people are familiar with, as it is unbelievably prevalent in the human population. But there are many strains that do different things in the body, as they invade different types of...

Social good can be directly integrated into free market capitalism, it just takes a bit of a balancing act - Lord Turner.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy stored in an object as the result of its vertical position or height. The energy is stored as the result of the gravitational attraction of the Earth and the object. The gravitational...

Adding suspensions to your robot can give you an advantage. In this RoboBench, Tim Lankford explains how adding suspension can be of benefit, how the suspension works, and shows the building process.

Despite its recently trendy, superfood status, seaweed has been used all over the world for thousands of years, but has most notably been a prominent part of Asian diets for the longest period of time, particularly in Japan, Korea and...
