Submission + - Good Science/Math Lectures online?

Submitted by nitroamos on Tuesday April 03, 2007 @03:47AM

nitroamos writes: Every once in a while I find myself searching for a good science or math lecture online, a talk on the general interest level. Feynman was well known as an excellent lecturer, able to make non scientists understand him. However, there is relatively little available for viewing online. Examples of what I'm interested include Caltech Watson Lectures and Vega Science Trust. Are there any other websites people can recommend from their fields of interest?

MattSparkes writes: "French researchers have discovered a new way to create super-hydrophobic surfaces, which could make completely electronic control of water possible. This could replace messy pumps and valves. By passing a voltage across a water droplet on the surface, it's shape can be deformed, and when the voltage is removed, it springs back into shape. Although the distortion is small, it should be enough to push droplets around by controlling the voltage between many different surface electrodes."
