Some chocolate contains lead. Is this safe? And does the ability to measure minute quantities of lead in chocolate make the product less safe? This week's Risk Bites is about the measurement conundrum -- what do you do when you can measure what's in the stuff you eat to the nth degree? It's not p
Measurement technologies are getting increasingly sensitive -- but what does it mean for risk when we can measure the smallest amount of a substance in the stuff we eat, drink and breathe? Note: In talking about the hypothetical risk from the hypothetical substance Greensave, the video talks abou
What are the ethical issues that emerge as our ability to detect chemicals in the environment around us improves? This week's risk bites looks at the ethical dimension of the measurement conundrum -- when our ability to detect stuff outstrips our understanding of what to do with the information. Th
The polarimeter is an important measuring instrument for determining the specific angle of rotation of an optically active substance. This first video is exclusively about the construction of a polarimeter. Afterwards, a short measurement is also carried out. Only in another video will I explain how

How to measure your radiator for a Fichman Furniture Radiator Cover. This video shows a simple and straightforward process to measure your radiator. We love to help - if you have questions call us at 1-888-RAD-COVS or email a photo of your radiator to service@fichman.com! A written version of the
Explore how astronomers and scientists use astronomical units to measure distances in the solar system in this video adapted from NASA. The astronomical unit (au) -- equal to the average distance from Earth to the Sun -- is a convenient unit of measure when talking about distances in the solar syste
Our stationary probes measure the local dose rate at a specific location around the clock. So we always know how much it is radiating at that place. But in order to determine what is radiating there - i.e. which substances - we need a different kind of measurement. We carry them out at regular inter
How to measure your picture when framing it with a matboard. The first step in learning how to frame your pictures at home.
Research published in the New England Journal of Medicine shows an association between the average amount of chocolate each person in country eats, and the number of Nobel Prize winners that country produces. But as the author points out, an association doesn't necessarily mean that eating chocolate
1,700 probes are distributed throughout Germany and permanently monitor the #Umweltradioaktivität. In this video we show you where the probes are, what the measurement results depend on and what can happen in the life of a probe ... You can see the exact measurement results here: https://odlinfo.bf
