The femtometre (American spelling femtometer) symbol fm derived from the Danish and Norwegian word femten 'fifteen', Ancient Greek: μέτρον, romanized: metrοn, lit. 'unit of measurement') is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equal to 10−15 metres, which means a quadrillionth of one metre. This distance is sometimes called a fermi and was so named in honour of Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi, as it is a typical length-scale of nuclear physics. (Wikipedia).
Animation of Fermilab's Accelerator Complex
The 6,800-acre Fermilab site is home to a chain of particle accelerators that provide particle beams to numerous experiments and R&D programs. This 2-minute animation explains how the proton source provides the particles that get accelerated and travel through the accelerator complex at cl

Atomic mass unit explained and its relationship to the kilogram
The atomic mass unit is a non-SI unit for mass regualrly used in nuclear physics. since it allows for easier comparisons between atoms. I discuss how it came about, how it relates to the kilogram and the eV/c2, and how to use it in nuclear reactions See www.physicshigh.com for all my vi

Making ferrofluid from scratch
Back in October, I tried making ferrofluid but I kept failing and I ended up giving up for a while. Months later though, I got inspired, and I spent an insane amount of time researching ferrofluid and trying to make it. It was a very messy and sometimes frustrating process, but I was event
