CO2 Experiment
Experiment showing the absorption of infrared radiation by carbon dioxide. From the BBC 2 program “Earth: The Climate Wars”
Moving Atoms for the World’s Smallest Movie
How did IBM researchers move all those atoms to make the world’s smallest movie? This short behind-the-scenes documentary takes you inside the lab. Meet the scientists, see how they made a movie with atoms, and find out more about their research in the field of atomic memory and data storage.
Wringing out Water on the ISS
CSA Astronaut Chris Hadfield performed a simple science experiment designed by grade 10 Lockview High School students Kendra Lemke and Meredith Faulkner. The students from Fall River, Nova Scotia won a national science contest held by the Canadian Space Agency with their experiment on surface tension in space using a wet washcloth.
World’s Smallest Video “A Boy and his Atom”
This movie holds the Guinness World Records™ record for the World’s Smallest Stop-Motion Film. The ability to move single atoms — the smallest particles of any element in the universe — is crucial to IBM’s research in the field of atomic memory. But even nanophysicists need to have a little fun. In that spirit, IBM researchers used a scanning tunneling microscope to move thousands of carbon monoxide molecules (two atoms stacked on top of each other), all in pursuit of making a movie so small it can be seen only when you magnify it 100 million times. A movie made with atoms.
What’s in a Candle Flame?
How can we prove with a simple experiment that a flame is the fourth state of matter – Plasma?
A Crash Course in Particle Physics
Professor Brian Cox of the University of Manchester presents an educational walk, through the fundamentals of Particle Physics.
How Hot Can it Get?
TEMPERATURES! by Vsauce. Watch out! This guy talks really fast! But, his questions and use of science that overlaps, to paint a deep picture on topics that many of us don’t think to ask, are very enlightening!
History of the Atomic Theory
How and When did the Atomic Theory first begin? What was the first proof we had that Atoms existed? How can we tell that Atoms are even there? What were those first discoveries about the nucleus; electrons, protons, and neutrons? How do we weigh Atoms?

This little video explains how Matter is waves, and is therefore music. It begins with the Law of Octaves/Law of Periodicity and how elements ascend in complexity in a harmonic series – the same thing occurs in music. Then a correlation with fundamental harmonics and music being divisible by either 2 or 3. And finally how the Heisenberg Schrodinger model of electron orbitals displays the wave quality of atoms, proving that atomic energy levels actually exist in wave-form.
