This collection of science videos was produced by Newton, a public service science channel, between 2011 and 2014. The videos are still hosted by the Guardian newspaper in a dedicated space on its website, and are arranged according to broad subject areas, including Physics, Mathematics, DNA, Technology and the Environment. The videos have high production values and are made with the aim of communicating scientific news, ideas, debates and controversies to a wide audience. Most of the films are around 15 minutes long, although some are shorter, and some, particularly those featuring lectures or talks are considerably longer.

Produced by the Bartlett Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis at UCL, this series of podcasts considers the impact of technology on cities and global connectivity. Drawing on the expertise of mathematicians, information scientists, lawyers, digital humanities researchers and museum curators amongst others, the podcast, which follows a magazine format, looks at how technology affects all our lives, but is of particular interest for those interested in urban analysis and social complexity.

A stimulating and useful resource for maths students, of all levels and abilities, Plus Magazine presents articles and podcasts about all aspects of mathematics, from the theoretical and philosophical to practical applications in cosmology, art, engineering, medicine and sport. There are also news articles and puzzles. The podcasts cover a broad range of subjects, including interviews and conference reports, as well as more in-depth features on a diverse range of subjects, including how gravity works, the ten dimensions of string theory and the weird and wonderful story of the Gomboc: a look at a three dimensional object which until recently no-one knew even existed.
Plus is part of the Millennium Mathematics Project, a long term national initiative based at Cambridge University which aims to help people of all ages and abilities achieve a better understanding of mathematics and appreciate the range and importance of its applications to science and commerce.

This resource presents thousands of animated demonstrations and interactive illustrations, mainly in in science, technology, mathematics but also in art, music, finance and other fields. The website defines ‘Demonstration’ as ‘the interactive demonstration of a concept’ and this broad definition applies to concepts in Life Science, Mathematics, Computation, Physical Sciences, Engineering and Technology, and Creative Arts amongst others.
One of the website’s goals is to bring computational exploration to the widest possible audience, including schoolchildren, students, academics and industry researchers and this is reflected in the sheer range of material available, ranging from a visualisation of Schrödinger’s cat experiment (but with catnip, rather than poison),to an interactive demonstration of the Duckworth Lewis Method - an algorithm used to determine the result of rain-affected cricket matches in a way that is fair to both teams.
The resource and all the demonstrations are free but users need to download the Wolfram cdf Player, which is also free. Users are encouraged to create their own demonstration using Mathematica software.

At the heart of this resource is a video library of over fifty maths and science lessons. Led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in collaboration with a number of international partners, the videos are freely available to stream or download in Quicktime or MPEG 4. DVD and VHS copies can also be ordered. Each lesson consists of video segments, a detailed summary, downloadable teachers’ guides and handouts, a transcript and links to additional relevant online resources. A number of the videos also have voiceovers and subtitles in Portuguese and Arabic. The lessons are organised according to topic and cover Mathematics; Engineering; Physics; Biology and Chemistry. A video introduction by MIT Professor Richard C. Larson, presents an overview of the project.

This podcast is presented in a magazine format and features interviews with researchers and scientists at Imperial College, London, as well as round-ups of the latest science news. The podcasts are distinguished by their variety: a typical example covering how gene therapy could treat a rare form of blindness, how economics shapes discourse on climate change and how to protect creative industries while fostering innovation. The podcasts can be streamed or downloaded free of charge and can be listened to as a whole or in individual chapters.
