This lecture from the iBioSeminars project is presented by Sangeeta Bhatia from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute covers research from Bhatia's lab to develop an implantable, engineered liver. She explains the challenges of co-culturing hepatocytes and...
This lecture from the iBioSeminars project is presented by Elizabeth Blackburn from the University of California, San Francisco Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics. It covers telomerase, a specialized ribonucleprotein reverse transcriptase, important for long-term eukaryotic cell proliferation...
This lecture from the iBioSeminars project is presented by J. Michael Bishop of the University of California, San Francisco. It presents experiments to find drugs that exploit vulnerabilities created by cancer genes, utilizing a genetic strategy known as "synthetic lethality." This video is the...
This animation, created by Mahmoud Riaz of the University of Minnesota, presents an example in motion of an induction motor. As Riaz writes, "The steady-state characteristics of an induction motor are described by means of phasors, which are computed using the standard equivalent circuit and are...
This resource, created by Christiana Honsberg and Stuart Bowden of Arizona State University, serves as an electronic book on photovoltaics. Photovoltaics, as described by Honsberg and Bowden, "is a most elegant energy source," created when "light shines on a crystal and produces electricity." The...
This lecture series, from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Biointeractive project, features the following lectures: "Understanding Embryonic Stem Cells," "Adult Stem Cells and Regeneration," "Coaxing Embryonic Stem Cells," and "Stem Cells and the End of Aging." Each lecture, available in Flash...
The Marine Advanced Technology Education Center introduces the concept of actuators as they are utilized on a remotely operated vehicle, or ROV, with the PufferFish ROV project. The kit to construct the PufferFish ROV contains "a control system, wires to receive and deliver power, and thrusters...
In this activity, students "compare the net energy and/or net greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted during the life cycle production of ethanol from switchgrass, diverse prairie and corn stover." Students will construct scenarios based on the data and business rules provided in the package from Microsoft...
This video clip provides an introduction to Richard Feynman's work and his impact on nanotechnology. Feynman's talk "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom" examined the future of technology and how things could be done on the nano-scale. The video includes a few quotes from Feynman's work.
Students will create a visual representation of the diverse spectrum of root depths of biofuel crops and prairie plants in this activity using raffia ribbon. The resulting wall hanging can facilitate discussion on carbon sequestration in plants and plant contribution to carbon in soil. This Root...
