Physics, Space & Chemistry
Materials science
Materials science sits within Physics, Space & Chemistry. Move between physical explanations and the observations, experiments, or engineering questions that motivate them. This selection contains 42 catalog videos from 25 distinct channels. The examples below offer specific entry points into the subject, with their own vocabulary and scope, rather than a prescribed sequence of lessons.
Recurring catalog topics include materials science, glass, applied science, chemistry, diy and materials. These tags describe overlapping directions within the collection; an individual video may connect several of them. Recorded formats include demo, documentary, explainer, lecture, other, talk and tutorial. Use those differences to choose between approaches to the subject and to compare how different contributors frame related questions.
“The Ridiculous Engineering Of Jet Engines”, listed under Veritasium, is cataloged as explainer. Veritasium explains how jet engines run hotter than their components' melting points, using cooling air and single-crystal superalloy turbine blades. It covers how the blades are grown as aligned crystals.
“Making uranium glass”, listed under NileRed, is cataloged as demo. NileRed makes radioactive uranium glass from scratch, showing the chemistry involved and the green fluorescence under a blacklight. The video includes warnings about handling radioactive material.
