This thread is for providing informative websites about various disciplines of science. Post away

Aside from the wondrous gift to humanity that is Wikipedia, here are some I've found useful

Physics (all areas): HyperPhysics (high school and undergraduate level)

Optics/lasers: RP Photonics (more advanced, mainly postgraduate level)

Rocketry: Rocket & Space Technology (some scary maths, but superb)

 

[Snake_Baker]

Chemistry, biochemistry: Sciencemadness

 

[Werewolf]

This can also include science related YouTube channels. I'll post some later when time permits

 

[Werewolf]

I was thinking of links to the channels and a short description of each (style, content, target audience)

We should have a separate thread for science videos, as we have for random science news & articles.

Remember the last time the Earth moved for you? The biggest bang since the first one? I certainly don't, still you my have an interest in the other sort of seismic events. This 'earth quake' portal plots seismic events all over the world - SeismicPortal - Home

You can search by a variety of parameters and the map can be moved and zoomed around. The screen grab below clearly shows the pacific ring of fire, in fact all the tectonic plates are outlined nicely. That green circle in Victoria is the recent Mansfield quake
