Looks at nanotechnology - atomic-scale engineering capable of rebuilding the world, atom by atom, in any form we wish. Notes advances in nano-engineering, interviews visionaries such as Eric Drexler who plan...
Some of the world’s greatest chemists describe how they can engineer complex molecular structures from just four basic building blocks: carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. Using a series of assembly...
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...
Demonstrates some classic physics experiments relating to the properties of electrons, showing that electrons travel in straight lines and carry momentum when they interact with objects. J J Thompson, the...
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...
The eight-part CUTTING EDGE series, filmed at Oxford University, examines the skills, methods and attitudes necessary to be a top scientist. Each programme looks at the ‘cutting edge’ of scientific...
Shows how the behaviour of liquid heium can be explained by the way atoms are counted in various energy levels available to them. Illustrates the way energy can be distributed among atoms by using snookers...
Dudley Herschbach, winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 1986, talks about himself and his work on the interaction of atoms.
Describes the structure of the nucleus, the weak and strong interactions, the properties and rules obeyed by the fundamental particles, and man’s latest attempts to rationalise them.
Man’s picture of the atom and its development from Greek models to modern quantum theory is described by the speakers.
