Dubnium is a synthetic chemical element with the symbol Db and atomic number 105. Dubnium is highly radioactive: the most stable known isotope, dubnium-268, has a half-life of about 28 hours. This greatly limits the extent of research on dubnium.
Oganesson is a synthetic chemical element with the symbol Og and atomic number 118. It was first synthesized in 2002 at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna, near Moscow, Russia, by a joint team of Russian and American scientists.
Gold is a chemical element with the symbol Au and atomic number 79, making it one of the higher atomic number elements that occur naturally. In a pure form, it is a bright, slightly reddish yellow, dense, soft, malleable, and ductile trasition metal.
Bohrium is a synthetic chemical element with the symbol Bh and atomic number 107. It is named after Danish physicist Niels Bohr. As a synthetic element, it can be created in a laboratory but is not found in nature. All known isotopes of bohrium are extremely radioactive.
Oxygen is the chemical element with the symbol O and atomic number 8. It is a highly reactive nonmetal, and an oxidizing agent that readily forms oxides with most elements as well as with other compounds.After hydrogen and helium, oxygen is the third-most abundant element in the universe by mass.
Sherlock Olmos decides to dig deeper into dark corner of this great house to investigate the suspicious behavior of some chemical elements. The exchange of electrons and the characteristics of hydrogen, fluorine gas, and the noble gases are the primary subjects of his investigation. Part of Chemistry: Solved by Sherlock Olmos Series.

Features different systems of measurement and their value to science in five separate segments. Stardust Elements: Looks at the life cycles of stars and explains how the death of a star seeds the universe with all the elements of the periodic table. End of Dinosaurs: Debates several scientific theories about why and how dinosaurs became extinct. Earthly Thermometers: Demonstrates how the Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin scales measure the same thing in different ways and why we need precise measurements of temperature. Frozen in Time: Pieces together the past of a 5,300-year-old man whose body was preserved in ice in the Italian Alps. Hurricanes Take the Heat: Follows researchers who study how hurricanes form and try to predict where the next one will strike.

In Miki, Japan, a six-story wooden model condominium was shaken by the equivalent of a 7.5 magnitude earthquake. The test was said to be the largest simulated earthquake ever attempted with a wooden structure. The full-scale building sat on a metal shake table that rocked it violently back and forth. The table, designed to hold up to 2.5 million pounds, reproduced forces based on those recorded during the 1994 earthquake in Northridge, California. But, it was scaled up by 180 percent to simulate an earthquake so violent it would only occur an average of once every 2,500 years. Part of the "Science Nation" series.
Sheryl welcomes Guardians of Rescue, and they talk about how animals can help patients with PTSD. And cookbook author Carol Fenster provides tips for growing herbs, while Curt Jaynes discusses the best way to water plants and conserve water.
Bilge Mutlu, a computer scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison knows a thing or two about the psychology of body language. With support from the National Science Foundation, Mutlu and his fellow computer scientist, Michael Gleicher, take a gaze into the behavior of humans and create algorithms to reproduce it in robots and animated characters. Both Mutlu and Gleicher are betting that there will be significant benefits to making robots and animated characters look more like humans.
Moko is an explorer. As he travels the world continent by continent, he makes many friends and discovers many natural phenomena which sometimes delight him, and other times scare him. Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, Moko learns about water tables and how streams develop. During the dry season, the river level drops and the remaining water turns to mud. He can't swim or drink the water. A man with a strange stick points the stick to the ground, and when Moko digs down there, water gushes out! Moko learns that even if no rain falls, Mother Earth could still be generous if you know the right way to ask her.
Bill Nye sheds some light on the similarities and differences between Jupiter and the sun. Part of the “Why With Nye” series.
Demonstrates how to observe and record scientific observations. Concepts and terminology: observation, data, recording, data table, tools, safety, measuring, and graphs.
Explore how the nature of highly seasonal rainfall cycles and periodic fires create conditions that have shaped Mediterranean-climate ecosystems. Part of the "Mediterranean-Climate Ecosystems" series.
Marvie loves dinosaurs, and her favorite is the tyrannosaur. She dons a dinosaur costume and imagines what it would be like to live with the dinosaurs. Part of the "Marvie" series.
Ana Luz Porzecanski is a conservation biologist. She studies wildlife and ecosystems. In this interview, she discusses how humans and nature can coexist and thrive together. Part of the "Meet the Ologist" series.
Learn the characteristics of meteorites. In this episode, host Emily Graslie presents meteorites as well as rocks that are frequently mislabeled as meteorites. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
