Subatomic Particles03:37

Subatomic Particles

92.1K
Dalton was only partially correct about the particles that make up matter. All matter is composed of atoms, and atoms are composed of three smaller subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. These three particles account for the mass and the charge of an atom.

Separation of Sister Chromatids02:17

Separation of Sister Chromatids

3.6K
At the transition from prophase to metaphase, there is a reduction in cohesion along the chromosomal arms, resulting in the resolution of sister chromatids. However, residual cohesin connections remain to hold the sister chromatids together until the transition from metaphase to anaphase. The residual connection prevents any premature separation of sister chromatids, blocking the risks of aneuploidy within the daughter cells.
At the onset of anaphase, separase, a proteolytic enzyme, is...

The DNA Helix01:07

The DNA Helix

19.8K
Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is the genetic material responsible for passing traits from generation to generation in all organisms and most viruses. DNA is composed of two strands of nucleotides that wind around each other to form a spring-like structure called a double helix. However, the double helix is not perfectly symmetrical. Instead, there are regularly occurring grooves in the structure. The major groove occurs where the sugar-phosphate backbones are relatively far apart. This space...

Collisions in Multiple Dimensions: Introduction01:05

Collisions in Multiple Dimensions: Introduction

6.1K
It is far more common for collisions to occur in two dimensions; that is, the initial velocity vectors are neither parallel nor antiparallel to each other. Let's see what complications arise from this. The first idea is that momentum is a vector. Like all vectors, it can be expressed as a sum of perpendicular components (usually, though not always, an x-component and a y-component, and a z-component if necessary). Thus, when the statement of conservation of momentum is written for a...

Generating Electromagnetic Radiations01:10

Generating Electromagnetic Radiations

8.6K
The German physicist Heinrich Hertz (1857–1894) was the first to generate and detect certain types of electromagnetic waves in the laboratory. Starting in 1887, he performed a series of experiments that confirmed the existence of electromagnetic waves and verified that they travel at the speed of light. Hertz used an alternating-current RLC (resistor-inductor-capacitor) circuit that resonated at a known frequency and connected it to a loop of wire. High voltages induced across the gap in...

Thomson's e/m Experiment01:19

Thomson's e/m Experiment

8.1K
In a beam of charged particles created by a heated cathode, the particles move at different speeds. However, many applications need a beam with uniform particle speeds. An arrangement known as a velocity selector uses electric and magnetic fields to pick particles with a particular speed from the beam.
A particle with charge q, speed v, and mass m enters an area from the top, where the magnetic and electric fields are perpendicular both to the particle's motion and to one another. The magnetic...

Area of Science:

  • High-energy physics
  • Particle physics
  • Large-scale scientific infrastructure

Background:

  • The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) represents a monumental undertaking in particle physics research.
  • Project approval for facilities of this scale is influenced by non-scientific factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the political and financial dimensions influencing the approval of large-scale scientific projects.
  • To understand the interplay between scientific ambition, political will, and economic realities.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of historical project approval processes.
  • Case study focusing on the Large Hadron Collider.
  • Examination of funding models and political lobbying efforts.

Main Results:

  • Project approval is heavily dependent on political consensus and securing substantial funding.
  • High finance and political maneuvering are critical components, often overshadowing purely scientific considerations.
  • Successful large-scale science requires adept navigation of governmental and financial landscapes.

Conclusions:

  • The success of projects like the LHC hinges on effective political and financial strategies.
  • Future large-scale scientific initiatives must integrate robust political and financial planning from inception.
  • Understanding these non-scientific factors is crucial for advancing frontier science.
