Discover the vital role uranium plays in nuclear technology. Chemistry - Periodic Table - Learning Points. Uranium was discovered in 1789. Uranium was named after the planet Uranus. Uranium is weakly radioactive. Uranium is important in...

How the principles of nuclear physics have been used to unleash massive destruction. How do fission bombs and thermonuclear bombs work, and what are the differences between the two? Physics - Energy And Radioactivity - Learning Points....

Nuclear fission is the process used in nuclear power plants, which creates radioactive nuclear waste that is hazardous to humans. Discover how this nuclear waste is disposed of and stored. Earth Science - Earth's Resources - Learning...

Learn about the Actinide Metals in the periodic table with this fun educational music video and parents. Brought to you by KLT. Don't forget to sing along.

Little Boy And Fat Man are the nicknames given to the two weapons of mass destruction that devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki, seem ridiculous when thinking about what they were capable of doing. Little Boy was the first nuclear bomb to...

In episode 54, Jordan and Charlie explore a new nuclear reaction imaging technique designed to detect the presence of “special nuclear materials” concealed in cargo containers. This method relies on a combination of neutrons and...

It’s highly unlikely to shoot down a missile mid-air. But there's more to it than that! Causing a nuclear bomb to detonate requires a precise orchestration of events, without which the chain reaction does not initiate and the bomb...

A conversation with Jeff Cuzzi, interdisciplinary scientist for rings on the Cassini mission and researcher in the Planetary Systems Branch at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley.

When scientists at the top secret 'Manhattan project' wanted to discover how radioactive bomb materials could affect the human body – they secretly injected terminally ill patients with uranium to find out.

In this video, students learn about radioactive decay and how to solve half-life models. The teacher explains the concepts using examples and equations, demonstrating how to calculate the time it takes for a substance to decay to half...
