5 Ways Biology Is Transforming Buildings
Throughout history humans have come up with lots of different ways to build shelters for themselves. But sometimes, inspiration for better construction materials comes from nature, in structures you might not expect — like the scales on a

Force-Time Graph
In this video Paul Andersen explains hot the force-time graph can be used to determine the impulse of an object. Since the impulse and the change in momentum are equivalent the graph can also be used to determine the change in momentum...

TED-Ed: Do larger animals take longer to pee? | David L. Hu
A cat's bladder can only store a golf ball's worth of urine. For humans, it's a coffee mug and for elephants, a kitchen trash can. An elephant's bladder is 400 times the size of a cat's, but it doesn't take an elephant 400 times longer...

Mass and Energy
In this video Paul Andersen explains how mass can be converted to energy and energy can be converted to mass. The equation E=mc2 can be used to determine the amount of energy released from nuclear processes.

How To Make MUONS
This video is about how to create muons in a particle accelerator via bombardment of heavy nuclei with protons, which results in creation of charged pions (plus and minus). The pions then decay into muons and mu neutrinos, and the muons...
