The Atomic Archive indexes a variety of downloadable and viewable videos which are present at the site. Some videos are have virtual reality feature, allowing the visitor to rotated and explore features an object (e.g., a bomb).
From the Atomic Archive - the online companion to the award-winning CD-ROM. This page defines nuclear fusion and depicts the process by an informative diagram. Includes numerical values which describe the typical energy values for fusion reactions. QuickTime movie of fusion is available.
Site provides the ABC's of nuclear science including radioactivity and gamma decay to fission and comic rays.
Biology 2e is designed to cover the scope and sequence requirements of a typical two-semester biology course for science majors. The text provides comprehensive coverage of foundational research and core biology concepts through an evolutionary lens. Biology includes rich features that engage students in scientific inquiry, highlight careers in the biological sciences, and offer everyday applications. The book also includes various types of practice and homework questions that help students understand—and apply—key concepts. The 2nd edition has been revised to incorporate clearer, more current, and more dynamic explanations, while maintaining the same organization as the first edition. Art and illustrations have been substantially improved, and the textbook features additional assessments and related resources.
By the end of this section, you will be able to do the following:
List the steps of replication and explain what occurs at each step
Describe the lytic and lysogenic cycles of virus replication
Explain the transmission of plant and animal viruses
Discuss some of the diseases caused by plant and animal viruses
Discuss the economic impact of plant and animal viruses
In the following video Paul Andersen explains how the nucleon number and charge is conserved in all nuclear reactions and radioactive decay. Fission, fusion, alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay all conserve the number of neutrons and protons, as well as charge. [8:27]
A narrated video tutorial defines two types of heat exchanges: heat of fusion and heat of vaporization. The content focuses on the relationship between heat energy either absorbed or released, and arrangement of particles. [3:42]
This video segment adapted from AMERICAN EXPERIENCE features original footage of the U.S. test of the first hydrogen device, code-named "Mike", that would trigger thermonuclear fusion. [4:53]
Just after World War II, nuclear scientists turned their attention from fission to fusion. This video segment adapted from AMERICAN EXPERIENCE looks at the beginnings of thermonuclear power generation.

Learn about nuclear energy as you listen to the audio book describing nuclear chemistry. View maps, examples, graphs, and pictures describing everything from electrons to beta emissions and more.
Discover how a dying star can be reborn as a black hole. View a slide show that follows the progression of events from an old, dying star to newborn black hole.
This site from Georgia State University provides a lengthy page with a thorough description of the fusion process. Discussion is complemented by excellent graphics and links to further information.
Definitions of heat-related concepts. Calculations of heat to show changes in temperature and state of matter. [14:57]
Khan Academy learning modules include a Community space where users can ask questions and seek help from community members. Educators should consult with their Technology administrators to determine the use of Khan Academy learning modules in their classroom. Please review materials from external sites before sharing with students.
Learn about the formation of elements from this video by NOVA and how these elements were incorporated into Earth when it formed. Closed caption available. [2:27]
