NSF Video Presentation:
This video, entitled "From
the Philosopher's Stone to Boiling Stones to Smart Porous Crystals Called
ZEOLITES", is designed for a lay audience and describes the applications
of zeolites, which are important materials used in the catalytic and separation
sciences. The relationship of the microscopic structure of these porous
crystals and their properties are described.
Columbia University
Lecture: This is a video presentation of "Paradigms
Found, Paradigms Lost" from the Columbia University Lecture series.
This video describes for a lay audience the paradigms that drive normal
science and how novel science, which is paradigm shifting, may be either
revolutionary or pathological and how the scientific process determines
which is which. Also visit the
site that describes how this video was made.
Frontiers in
Science Lecture: "Light
Meets Matter". This video describes for a lay audience the interaction
between light and matter. Examples are given from the simple cases of the
absorption of light by atoms and extended to the important examples of vision
and photosynthesis.
