If we reduce our use of fossil fuels, we will reduce the amount of extra carbon dioxide that we put into the atmosphere. There are 2 ways to reduce our carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels: 1) We make our processes more...

Danish company Seaborg Technologies plans to fit barges with small nuclear reactors, to provide energy to developing countries. <br/>

Radioactivity is the property through which a heavier, unstable nucleus assumes a more stable state by emitting radiation. The process through which a nucleus turns into a stable one is called radioactive decay. But is radioactivity or...

What challenges does humanity face in the 21st century? Where will we find the strength and the ingenuity to overcome them? One huge challenge is centered on the ways we produce energy. Current methods of extracting fossil fuels from the...

Researchers have come up with a potential new method of harvesting uranium - the fuel source for nuclear power - from seawater. Scientists at the 224th meeting of the American Chemical Society reported that when Chitin - a long-chain...

MOT 1946: Atomic Power opening credits

With the recent record high gas prices across the world, countries have had to look to other sources of power to supply their energy. So in this video, we look at why more Nuclear Power could be Britain's answer to the energy crisis...

Nuclear Fission In a nuclear reactor the controlled slow release of energy is used to heat up a closed loop of coolant which passes to heat exchangers which then boil water to provide steam to turn electrical generators. The output of...

Splitting the atom once promised to be the carbon-free energy source of the future. But today, nuclear power plants are aging and retiring worldwide. What happened?

Everyone and their mom knows about E = mc^2, it's the most famous equation in science, and there are plenty of posters you can buy for your dorm room with Einstein's face and this equation floating mysteriously around his head. But what...

The video provides an overview of the different ways in which energy resources can be compared and evaluated, including their renewability, reliability, and environmental impact. The presenter discusses various types of energy resources,...

It describes thermal energy, thermal power plant and demerits of thermal energy.

Understand the basics of nuclear power, including how it is generated through the process of fission in uranium atoms. This video highlights the use of neutrons and control rods to create a chain reaction, which ultimately produces...

This video explains the concept of global climate change and its potential effects on the Earth. It discusses the scientific consensus that the Earth's temperature is rising due to the emission of greenhouse gases, the resulting melting...

Upon viewing the Heat and Energy video series, students will be able to do the following: State the difference between kinetic and potential energy. Name and describe six different forms of energy: thermal, chemical, mechanical,...

Upon viewing the Exploring Energy video series, students will be able to do the following: Define energy as the ability to do work. Cite everyday examples of how energy is used to do work. Understand that kinetic energy is sometimes...
