Stanford University Linear Accelerator: Videos

The Stanford University Linear Accelerator was opened in 1962, and since then it has produced and trained a veritable cornucopia of internationally known research scientists and six Nobel prize winners. It also happens to have its own fine YouTube channel, which brings together a wide range of research lectures, symposia, and public discussions. Some of the recent offerings here include "A Blueprint for New Fuel Cell Catalysts," "Quantum Lightswitch: A New Direction in Ultrafast Electronics," and "Supernova Shock Waves: Powerhouses of the Galaxy." The Backstory videos are quite fun, as they feature interviews with various physicists about their work, which is always fascinating. On the right side of the site, visitors can look over thematic collections, such as Favorite Videos, SLAC Science Shorts, and Quantum Bits.
