Physicist Dr. Weiping Yu returns with Science and U to comment on the new images of an enormous ‘swiss cheese’ bubble surrounding the Earth. How do superbubbles form? What really is this thing that we call gravity? Dr. Yu also comments on the puzzling formation of planets, stars, and supermassive black holes; whether the universe […]
Physicist Dr. Weiping Yu returns with the first Science and U segment this new year. Dr. Yu comments on NASA and Space X’s plan to rescue astronauts from the ISS; a startup’s geoengineering project; coal-like material transformed to amorphous graphite and nanotubes in simulations; the thoughts of Henry Ford; and more.
How do we make sense of the mystery behind the creation of gold, uranium, and other heavy metals? What is the fundamental error behind the theory that we need temperatures hotter than the sun to create metals? Do single-charged particles even exist? Listen to the full segment to find out and more.
Dr. Weiping Yu returns with another exciting segment of Science and U where he takes on the latest stories of scientific discoveries and innovation. What do we need to do to make nuclear fusion, low-cost energy a reality? Is it possible to generate cheap electricity from ocean water? Listen to the full segment to find […]
Physicist Dr. Weiping Yu returns with a brand new segment of Science and U to comment on whether magnetism can reduce pollution in waters, how to make tiny metal snowflakes, strange magnetic anomaly on the moon, how we can move objects with ultrasound, and more. How do we make sense of the symmetrical shapes of […]
Dr. Weiping Yu joins David Gornoski to talk about the latest development in the research surrounding nuclear fusion. Is the current approach the right approach to nuclear reaction? Can cancer be healed by using magnetic bacteria? Have we come across a revolutionary way to heal damaged cells? Listen to the full segment to find out.
Physicist Dr. Weiping Yu returns with Science and U. Dr. Yu talks about the discovery of a new way to make plastic act like metal. Is there a better conductor of electricity than metal? Can we transform carbon dioxide in the air into things like diamonds? What can we expect from NASA’s upcoming moon project? […]
Skip past 1 hour 14 minutes in the video for this segment. Dr. Weiping Yu returns with a refreshing segment of Science and U. The physicist comments on how the magnetic aspect of black holes is finally being explored, how magnetism helps explain Earth’s rotation, how a new discovery in the stars challenges Newton’s […]
Physicist Dr. Weiping Yu comments on the news that physicists have confirmed a hitch in the proton structure. Why do we differentiate between protons, neutrons, and electrons? How does the human brain function? Listen to the full segment to find out.
Can electricity be obtained from water more efficiently and cheaply? Did NASA succeed in its recent asteroid mission? How would magnetic fields help up predict earthquakes? Listen to the full segment as Dr. Weiping Yu answers these science questions and more.
