A lengthy collection of multimedia chemistry resources on the Web, divided up into Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Nucleic acid-related, Protein-related, General chemistry, Inorganic/organometallic chemistry, Organic chemistry, Physical/theoretical chemistry, Safety, Software, and Other WWW chemistry resources. However, a frustratingly large number of the links do not work.
Nanotechnology is the study and design of systems at the nanometer scale - the scale of atoms and molecules. This site, courtesy of the University of Wisconsin, includes a variety of short films to explore the issues involved, which are divided into basic, intermediate and advanced categories, with extremely good encoding. The various experiments conducted include explorations of DNA, LCDs, Silicon, thermoelectricity, atomic imaging, catalytic converters and even make use of Lego building blocks.
MERLOT (Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching) is an American gateway to online learning materials for teachers and students in higher education. Sites are given peer reviews (i.e. by users), and are categorised under Arts, Business, Education, Humanities, Mathematics, Science and Technology and Social Sciences. Tracing moving image materials is best done by using the search term ‘video’ under the subject-specific ‘disicipline community’ option - a number of these sites can also be found on the Moving Image Gateway.
Part of the Internet Archive, which also covers archived moving images (The Internet Moving Images Archive), audio and software, the Wayback Machine holds cached versions of thousands of websites and billions of pages, allowing users to look at sites that are no longer available or at earlier versions of ones that are still around. An invaluable resource that, due to the gigantic nature of the holdings, is slightly hampered by the fact that no list of the holdings can be easily provided. This means inevitably that correct recall of the URL in question is necessary, or failing that, searching for it on the web first.
