A Homebuilt 200W LASER Bazooka
Take note: This young man has a Bachelor’s degree Chemistry and advanced classes in Laser optics, this is very dangerous!
A Word About Relativity
Nice video but the narration is annoying at first.
Here is another great video on relativity by NRHS alumni (2016) Ryan Chester.

Scientists Turn Hydrogen Into a Metal
Wow.
Nearly a century after it was theorized, Harvard scientists have succeeded in creating metallic hydrogen. In addition to helping scientists answer fundamental questions about the nature of matter, the material is theorized to have a wide range of applications, ranging from room-temperature superconductors to powerful rocket propellant.
An 80-year-old prediction may come true: Scientists turn hydrogen into a metal
A 100 Million Year Old Insect That Defines A New Type
This is cool…
OSU Researcher George Poinar discovered an ancient insect, frozen in amber, so unusual that a new order had to be created. This creature has a triangular head that makes it look like ET.
Scientists discover ‘alien’ insect in amber from 100 million years ago
Super Materials
Material science is still in it’s infancy. But each year we are designing new and amazing substances that will eventually change the way we live.
Ultralight ‘super-material’ is 10 times stronger than steel
Thanks Tom!
So Much Still to Learn
Now this is interesting…
The Double Slit Experiment
Very well done. Sub atomic physics is really weird.
Another Small Step Toward Fusion Power
Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
Dangerous Stuff
There are many chemicals that are unbelievably dangerous. This is one of them…
Lots of Physics News
Weird…
Researchers orbit a muon around an atom, confirm physics is broken
Why is it not being built here!?! Hopefully someday we will invest more into fusion research.
Countries around the world are pouring billions of dollars into France’s revolutionary nuclear fusion reactor

Entropic Gravity
Today in EPS we spoke about entropy and the second law of thermodynamics. What if gravity was a function of entropy? this is pretty deep stuff, but interesting…

Awesome illusion
Finalist of the Best Illusion of the Year Contest 2016
Whaaat? Fear not the Internet has it figured out…
Reckless and Foolish
But definitely cool. Be warned, this young man is no amateur. He has degrees in Chemistry and Math and experience working in a research lab. But still…

Lightning at 7000 Frames Per Second
Very nice. The next time a confused person tries to tell you that lighting goes from the ground up, show them this. What they mean is that the current flows that direction, but that is fairly meaningless.

Professor Ningyu Liu at the Geospace Physics Laboratory caught a beautiful lightning show from a recent storm. It’s recorded at 7000 frames per second and the playback speed is 700 frames per second.
