Warning: DO NOT TRY-Seeing How Close I Can Get to a Drop of Neutrons
THrough some clever techniques James demonstrates what it's like to touch, almost, a neutron star.

Hitting Earth with a Grain of Sand Going 99.9% the Speed of Light
James simulates throwing objects at the Earth at nearly the speed of light.

The Odd Behavior of Spinning Saddle Shapes
A ball in a rotating saddle shape is analogous to an ion trap where the particle (ball) cannot escape.

Quantum Locking Will Blow Your Mind-How Does it Work?
James got his hands on a type 2 superconductor. After chilling it with liquid nitrogen the fun begins. He places it on a magnet and it floats above the superconductor. Liikwise if the magnet is above the superconductor or the magnet is spinning around a magnetic track. The magnet and superconductor defy gravity but they don't attract or repel each other. They lock. The explanation is quantum.

What It's Like to Drive on Other Planets
James uses a driving simulator to see what it would be like to drive under the gravity of other planets. There are a few surprises.

This Weird Shape Rolls Uphill Instead of Down
James defies gravity playing with ways to make object move upward. In one case using buoyancy and in another using a displace center of mass.
May 08, 2021
Can You Make Magnets Orbit Each Other?
Thecurving dipole nature of magnetic fields makes it difficult for magnets to orbit each other. So James arranges two magnets to produce a region where the magnetic field is relatively flat and has better success. But will the orbit be stable?

Tessellation Is Easier Than You Think
Tesselation involves tiling a surface with one, or more, shapes. Tesselation has a storied history and it's now know that all triangles and quadrilaterals will tessellate if you know their placement trick. But there seems to be a limited number of pentagon and hexagon and no larger polygons that tessellate.

Newtonian Fluids Can Bounce Too!
Plain old Newtonian fluids can do some amazing things just like their non-Newtonian brethren. They too can bounce.
Dec 28, 2021
Is Magnetic Refrigeration the Future of Cooling?
James demonstrates the warming and cooling effect of inserting and removing gadolinium from a magnetic field.
Feb 14, 2022
What Happens When a Liquid Turns Supercritical?
James displays an ampule of supercritical xenon pressurized to sixty atmospheres. On cooling it condenses to a liquid. But when warmed it doesn't boil. The liquid an gas simply merge.

Is It Possible to Completely Fill a Klein Bottle?
If you never tried to put something in a Kein bottle you should try it. If you tried you know it's a bit counter intuitive. But how can you completely fill one.

How Superconductors Turn Matter Into Waves
Do superconductors really have zero electrical resistance and just how much electricity can they conduct. With new high temperature superconductors we can find out right on our kitchen table.
Dec 20, 2024
Newton's Cradle Doesn't Work the Way You Think
Newton's Cradle looks so simple. But physicists are still working on modeling exactly what's going on. There's more to it than just conservation of momentum or even energy. There's a pressure way that determines which balls move the most.
