As scientists delved deep into the atom, into the very heart of matter, they unraveled nature's most shocking secrets. They had to abandon everything they believed in and create a whole new science, which today underpins the whole of physics, chemistry, biology, and maybe even life itself. Tells a story of great geniuses, like Albert Einstein and Werner Heisenberg who were driven by their thirst for knowledge and glory. It's a story of false starts and conflicts, ambition, and revelation, a story which leads us through some of the most exciting and exhilarating ideas ever conceived of by the human race.

E=MC². Who really understands what lies behind Albert Einstein's famous formula? Follows the development of his scientific ideas with great cinematic style. The documentary deftly combines an appreciation of Einstein's scientific accomplishments, his trials and tribulations in gaining recognition, and his relationships both personal and professional.
Find out how Albert Einstein used the totality phase of the 1919 solar eclipse to prove his theory of relativity, which predicts that large objects bend “space-time” towards themselves.
How did 20th-century physics change long-held notions of light's makeup and behavior? This group of 12 concise computer-animated videos illustrates Einstein's monumental contributions to the study of light. Shows how rudimentary ideas of material wave motion yielded to more advanced concepts of electromagnetic waves by detailing Einstein's conclusions about the speed of light and his conception of time, which-given his findings on mass and energy-proceeds according to variable frames of reference. Conveys relativistic thought experiments through helpful animation, which demonstrate simultaneity, time dilation, length contraction, and relativistic mass.
Beginning with Alchemy's attempt to find the recipe for gold, scientists have strived to unearth the basic building blocks of our world. These building blocks became smaller and smaller as scientists including Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein studied the world. From elements, to the atom, to subatomic particles, the study of our natural world has led to inventions both deadly and fantastic, including X-Rays, MRIs, calculus, and the atomic bomb.
Einsteinium is a synthetic element with the symbol Es and atomic number 99. As a member of the actinide series,

This award-winning documentary on LIGO, NSF's Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory, examines how LIGO is spearheading the new field of gravitational wave astronomy and opening a whole new window on the universe. LIGO's exquisitely sensitive instruments may ultimately take scientists farther back in time than ever before, catching, perhaps, the first murmurs of the universe in formation.
What happens when the world of art intersects with the world of science? Alberto Rojo, musician and physicist, discusses the role of a researcher in both disciplines. In this episode, he shows parallels between creating music and researching science. He tells us how artists and scientists share similar methods of gathering knowledge and researching ideas.

Galileo, Newton, and Einstein make appearances in this segment. Through lyrics, they explain the contributions they made to astronomy. Part of the "Space School Musical" series.
Mendelvium is a radioactive metal of the actinide series. It does not occur naturally and was first made in 1955 by bombarding einsteinium with helium ions.
Gene therapy is a method for treating inherited diseases by delivering corrective versions of genes to patients. Dr. Jean Bennett and Dr. Albert Maguire focused their careers on developing a successful gene therapy for an inherited form of childhood blindness called Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA). This documentary tells the story of how the LCA gene therapy was developed. Students will learn how autosomal recessive conditions are inherited, how scientists can use modified viruses to deliver human genes to cells, what makes the eye an ideal tissue for gene therapy, and how model organisms are used to test treatments before they are tested in patients.
The roaring '20s marked a decade of unprecedented prosperity. It's no wonder the inventions that defined the 1920s are all about entertainment and convenience. Motion picture and television are two of the greatest inventions since sliced bread - both of which were invented during this time. Other inventions featured include the rocket, the lie detector, and Einstein's refrigerator.
This album of eight computer-animated video segments looks at the particle approach to studying light by exploring the antithesis of the wave model. Presents black-body radiation, Planck's constant, the photoelectric effect, and the work of James Clerk Maxwell as forerunners to Einstein's concept of photon frequency. Shows examples of a slope-intercept graph and a revised double-slit experiment using light-sensitive paper segue to an illustration of the Compton effect, establishing that light consists of a stream of particles. De Broglie's contributions introduce wave-particle duality, which some might consider an inadequate solution, although it represents the best that current science can do.
