Search Engine For Science Videos, Now Online

search engine that finds videos for science enthusiasts has just made its debut online. The videos searched by Science Hack are claimed to be screened by a scientist, to verify its accuracy and quality.

Science Hack searches videos across topics such as Trigonometry, exothermic chemical reaction and the Levitron toy among others, across genres such as mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and space.

Representatives of the site say their database is relatively small as of now, but their scientists are working very hard to 'index every science video on the internet.' Web surfers may also submit their science videos to the database. The representatives also clarify that ScienceHack does not host videos, but only indexes videos from other sites like YouTube and MetaCafe.

Rami Nasser, Founder of ScienceHack says, "Science Hack is in alpha release to test the idea and the system. When you search our database you will get relevant and informative results. Moreover, you could browse our videos and you will defiantly learn something new."

Users also have the option of integrating the search engine into social networking sites such as Facebook.
