A slightly smoother implementation of this button. The strategy is to link with other podcasts and sets up a interesting problem of structured Tags. In exciting news Podcasts are go with the Teacher's Union. http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Suggest%20a%20Podcast%20from%20the%20Archive%20Button.mp3

It is actually a bit sad, to be honest, how we got to use the idea of bandgaps to explain conductivity and not to see the deeper side of things. Visualizing the quantum electron unlocks band diagrams as a jewel of quantum mechanics and solid state knowledge. http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Metals%20Semiconductors%20and%20Insulators%20-%20upgrade%20your%20understanding.mp3

You may have heard of Piezo(strain)effect but Pyro(heat)effect or Ferro(electric field)effect crystals a far less popular but absolutely captivating http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Pyroelectric%20Crystals%20-%20heat%20to%20volts.mp3

The solar weather is broken into space weather, a region which has features we associate with local weather and a region we associate with sea currents. http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Solar%20weather%20made%20easy..mp3

The use of a pyroelectric crystal creates an intense field when you heat it that then accelerates nuclei to a fusion collision. I love this kind of weird fantastic science. http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Table%20top%20nuclear%20fusion.mp3
