I am sure that you have come across strange physics or astronomy
symbols, or chemical elements, and wondered what they meant? Now
you will be able to find the answer more easily thanks to two
fantastic new web resources. Scientists and astronomers use many
strange symbols to define various phenomena. To help demystify
these symbols for ordinary folk, a team of experts at the
University of Nottingham (UK) has produced an easy to
understand, fun and informative collection of sixty videos,
entitled “Sixty Symbols“. A further sixty videos are in
preparation and will be ready in the near future. For those
needing information on a chemical element, another team at the
University of Nottingham (UK) has produced an amazing set of
videos illustrating the entire 118 chemical elements of The
Periodic Table. Some of the videos have even been made available
for foreigners, with subtitles in Spanish, Portuguese,
Indonesian and Italian. These two sites are really very cool and
fun! We love them!
