Black holes are among the most destructive objects in the universe. Anything that gets too close to a black hole, be it an asteroid, planet, or star, risks being torn apart by its extreme gravitational field. By some accounts, the...

In this video Paul Andersen defines Q10 as the ratio between reactions at different temperatures. He then gives you an example of how it could be calculated. He also includes extensions of other scientific phenomenon that could created...

Some dogs just seem to love watching TV. But are they really watching what we see?

Today is exciting, because Jessi and Squeaks are making parachutes! Tag along to learn how you can make your own, and what forces are being used to make your parachute work!

We humans can rely on our internal body heat to help keep us warm. But what can cold-blooded animals do when faced with the threat of freezing? Here are three creatures that have come up with some...“cool” solutions.

Sometimes, the common names we use for things are really confusing! Here are 8 living things with terrible names!

What's salty and cold and cool as heck? Brinicles, a rarely seen undersea phenomenon the combines ice and saltwater to become every sea star's worst nightmare! Actually, they're not that scary, just awesome. Hank explains within.

Google can find something for you on the other side of the world in less than a second. Why does your personal computer take so much longer?

The pandemic spurred an unprecedented reclamation of urban space, ushering in a seemingly bygone era of pedestrian pastimes, as cars were sidelined in favor of citizens. Highlighting examples from across the United States, environmental...

The prospect of interstellar travel is no longer sci-fi. It COULD be achievable within our lifetime! But, how would an interstellar rocket-ship work? On this week's episode of Space Time, Matt talks options for interstellar travel - from...

For years, catch-and-release anglers have been pouring soda on bleeding fish in an effort to help save their lives. But.. does this actually work?

Is it better to walk or run when it's cold out? If you run, then you have to deal with wind, wind chill, etc, but your body generates more heat. If you stay still, standing or walking slowly, you don't generate as much...

On a cosmic scale, Mercury isn’t very far away, but it's incredibly hard to get there. Getting into orbit around it takes years of flybys in the solar system, but we're going to do it again!

Learn about the strongest, slowest, and fastest science in 2015!

So as you may have noticed from last episode, computers keep getting faster and faster, and by the start of the 1950s they had gotten so fast that it often took longer to manually load programs via punch cards than to actually run them!...

Jessi had the weirdest dream last night and wants to share with you why our brains make dreams.

Today on SciShow we bring you a cool humanoid diving robot and insight into the evolution of the venus flytrap.

This video is about the orbital mechanics of why it's so hard to crash into the sun - the energy it takes to get there is astoundingly high, compared with leaving the solar system.

The study of clouds has always been a daydreamer’s science, aptly founded by a thoughtful young man whose favorite activity was staring out of the window at the sky. Richard Hamblyn tells the history of Luke Howard, the man who...

Instead of a boring slide deck at your next presentation, how about bringing in a troupe of dancers? That's science writer John Bohannon's "modest proposal" in this spellbinding choreographed talk. He makes his case by example, in...
