The Higgs Boson (How Small Is It Series #4)
In the final segment of the ‘How Small Is It’ series, David Butler covers Quantum Electrodynamics and Chromodynamics. He then discusses spin oscillation as the origin of mass for elementary particles that lead to the Higgs Field and the Higgs Mechanism.

Elementary Particles (How Small Is It Series #3)
Is this part of the ‘How Small Is It’ video series, David Butler teaches us about the elementary particles that make up an atom. Series IntroThe MicroscopeThe AtomElementary Particles: this videoThe Higgs BosonCredits and Research
The Atom (How Small Is It Series #2)
In this second part of David Butler’s education series ‘How Small Is It’, he looks at the structure of an atom. He clearly explains what we know about atoms and the particles that make up an atom. Series IntroThe MicroscopeThe Atom: this video Elementary ParticlesThe Higgs BosonCredits and Research
The Microscope (How Small Is It Series #1)
In this excellent series of educational videos by David Butler elementary particles are explained. The first video starts will a look at microscopes and how we ‘see’ atoms and smaller particles. This video wraps up with a look at a carbon atom. Series IntroThe Microscope: this videoThe AtomElementary ParticlesThe Higgs BosonCredits and Research
Self-Replicating Robots And Space Exploration
In this video from PBS Digital Studios, self-assembling (or self-replicating) robots are discussed. These robots offer us the potential to proliferate throughout our solar system. Automated, self-repairing robots may prove to be a cost effective way to extract the resources needed in preparation for human colonization of Mars. ref: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/20160005963.pdf
