Radioactivity - what it is, why certain atomic nuclei are solid whereas others, the unstable, are radioactive. How alpha, beta and beta plus particles are ejected. Gamma rays, what they are and how emitted....
Avant-garde opera from composer Philip Glass and director Robert Wilson. The plot revolves, loosely, around Einstein’s relationship to the creation of the atomic bomb. Originally premiered in 1976, this...
Looks inside the nucles of the atom. Covers: models and density of the nucleus; atomic mass unit based on carbon 12; isotopes - variation of neutrons; nuclear stability; nuclear force; mass defect - binding...
Part 2 explains fission products of a nuclear reactor, neutron reactions, proton reactions and positron decay.
The story of a search for something so rare that many doubted its existence - the sub-atomic particle ‘W’. Physicists are striving to produce a unifying framework for the forces of nature. Their theories...
A three-part series in which ex-pop musician and physicist, Brian Cox, shares his passion for particles, the sub-atomic world and quantum mechanics. Can everything that happens in the universe be explained...
Atoms are like bubbles in space, the electrons surrounding a tiny central ncleus. Shows how experimental evidence from the atomic and nuclear spectrum and the energy scales found inside the atom can be...
Our understanding of the hazards of nuclear radiation is derived largely from the atomic bomb attacks on Japan. Current safety standards for the nuclear industry are based on the Japanese experience.
One of a series of 13 short films about remarkable scientific discoveries by Nobel prizewinners and their colleagues. Looks at Nobel Prizewinners such as Ernest Rutherford, Niels Bohr and James Chadwick and...
Sir Lawrence Bragg at the Royal Institution. Explains the principle of diffraction by multiple layers with the aid of animated diagrams and models. Describes X-rays and, in a series of experiments, shows how...
