What is plasma? When you think of plasma, where do you think you can find it? How does plasma relate to energy?
How cool would it be if you could make your own plasma ball from the comfort of your home or school?
Power Sources - Plasma Ball
What if we could harness the power of the Sun for energy here on Earth? What would it take to accomplish this feat?
Is it possible? In order to understand a little more about fusion energy, you will learn about the atom and how reactions
at the atomic level produce energy.
Power Sources - Fusion PhysicsWhen you look at a circuit board like the one pictured above, what do you see? What makes the wires attach
to the board and all of the electronic pieces attach to each other? This lesson will concentrate on circuits and the
chemical content in solder. How is the Department of Energy leading the way for a greener future for all?
Energy EfficiencyThe U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is using computing to tackle national challenges such as
safe nuclear energy systems and running simulations. Learn how supercomputers help keep us safe.
Safety and SecurityLearn how two engineers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
came up with their design for the Smartphone Microscope.
