Explores the history and development of the model of the atom. In six 10-minute segments: The Earliest Models (Democritus, Roger Bacon, William Gilbert, Niccolo Cabeo, Benjamin Franklin, Charles Augustin...
Video component of a training pack aimed at giving teachers without a physics background the proficiency and confidence to teach the subject up to GCSE level. Divided into six blocks: Issues in science...
The successful creation and detection of ‘W’ and ‘Z’ particles was the culmination of the work of hundreds of scientists and was recognised by the awarding of Noble prizes for the two team leaders....
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...
