One Minute Physics provides an energetic and entertaining view of old and new problems in physics -- all in one minute!

Bananas! They’ve got a long trip from harvest to table, and a lot of science goes into keeping them delicious. This episode was produced in collaboration with and sponsored by Emerson.

Can you imagine a cup of tea that doesn't obey the laws of physics? One that pours out of the bottom of your cup while crawling up the sides to the top? Join Hank Green for a fun new SciShow super episode all about superfluids!

Why is it so hard for us to keep the bears out of our trash? Well, it turns out that trash cans are basically like giant food puzzles for the bears, and they are determined to win... But, we can use their wily trash-nabbing instincts...

Living in space is pretty different from living on Earth, and not just because people can float around! Today, Jessi and Sam the Bat learn about the weird ways things like fire and water behave when they are in space.

How many people does it take to make a cup of coffee? For many of us, all it takes is a short walk and a quick pour. But this simple staple is the result of a globe-spanning process whose cost and complexity are far greater than you...

At the turn of the 20th century, scientists thought that insects were nothing more than tiny reflex machines. But Charles Henry Turner, who was possibly America’s first Black entomologist, ran some groundbreaking animal behavior studies...

Today we're going to talk about SPAAAAAACE, but not like stars and satellites and stuff. Instead, we're going to talk about geographic space. In geography, we can look at the world and the places and spaces we inhabit with four distinct...

What should you do after your phone goes for a swim?

Originally meaning a woven container, the word keister has roots all over the place. The devil's tool box? Sure. A safe? That too. So, how did it become associated with the buttochs? Jessica Oreck and Rachael Teel get to the bottom of...

Jessi's in her lab mixing up something scary cool: potions! Join her to learn about different kinds of mixtures and how you can mix up your own potions using things you have at home!

We all have that coworker who insists that the houseplants on their desks are improving the office air quality, but is there any truth to that?

Welcome back to the Fort! There's always a lot going on around here, so feel free to take a look around, say hello to all of our friends, and have fun watching some of their favorite videos! See you again soon!

In this video Paul Andersen explains how the second law of thermodynamics applies to reversible and irreversible processes. In a reversible process the net change in entropy is zero. In and irreversible process the entropy will always...

Jessi's in the lab, mixing up something kind of strange: Oobleck! Come find out all about this goo that can be a solid and a liquid at the same time, and then learn how to make some for yourself!

In this video Paul Andersen explains how the pressure, volume, amount, and temperature of an ideal gas are related. Absolute zero of a gas can be determined by varying the temperature and measuring the corresponding volume of a gas...

Today is a big day! Jessi and Squeaks are going to make slime, and they're going to show you how to make it, too! Plus, they'll tell you all about the gooey science that makes slime so weird and fun!

In this video Paul Andersen explains how the gas pressure is the force applied over the area of the container. It is also the change in momentum as gas molecules interact with the container and is uniform throughout the sample. Several...

Hank tells us the stories of three experiments in biology that, with creativity and luck, changed science & the world with it in their work to solve the mysteries of the universe.

Imagine a cup of tea that doesn't obey the laws of physics, it pours out of the bottom of your cup while crawling up the sides to the top, and you'll have a pretty good picture of the ultracold phenomena of superfluids.

Hank bursts our ideal gas law bubble, er, balloon, and brings us back to reality, explaining how the constants in the gas law aren't all that constant; how the ideal gas law we've spent the past two weeks with has to be corrected...

Squeaks and Mister Brown do some experiments with soil, and learn all about why different soils feel different!

How can bottles and balloons help explain the different laws that govern gas? See how Boyle's Law, Charles' Law, and Avogadro's Law help us understand the laws that govern gas properties.
