While the eruptions of the volcanoes along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge usually don't trouble us, their birth was once responsible for ripping a supercontinent apart and creating the Atlantic Ocean that we know today.

Antarctica probably isn't the first place you think of when you hear about volcanoes. But there's a lot happening under the icy tundra, and not all of it's a good thing. Here's how rising temperatures could lead to an even more...

Alaska has the most volcanoes out of all the US states, but researchers think they don't have enough. Here's the weird science behind looking for Alaska's volcanoes, and what we've learned about volcanism along the way.

The James Webb Space Telescope isn't just for finding Pinterest worthy pictures, we're finding some amazing details in the sometimes blurry background photos.

Volcanoes might seem like an unstoppable force of nature - but there is at least one OTHER force on Earth that seems to be able to keep them down.

A volcanic eruption and series of earthquakes in 2005 were important not because they did a great deal of damage to humans, but because they’re geologic evidence of where Earth’s next ocean will most likely pop up.

While comets were historically thought to be ill omens of war and famine, recent science has revealed that these celestial wonders actually contain amino acids, the building blocks of life on Earth. Justin Dowd explores the implications...

Starfish can regrow lost arms, and salamanders can sprout new limbs. So why can't we? Sci Show explains the science of regeneration, and explores the limitations the humans face -- and are trying to go beyond.

What do airplanes, power plants, ships, and explosions have in common? They all make clouds!

Why do scientists try to learn about /people/ by studying creatures that none of us could ever be mistaken for? Learn about model organisms, and why they're so helpful for us.

Hank delivers news of the future, with his rundown of the top space missions scheduled for 2014. Learn about upcoming launches to a nearby asteroid, a comet as it approaches the sun, and the first test flight of NASA's new Orion crew...

You stick cookie dough into an oven, and magically, you get a plate of warm, gooey cookies. Except it's not magic; it's science. Stephanie Warren explains via basic chemistry principles how the dough spreads out, at what temperature we...

Researchers found surprising new evidence hiding in data captured back in 1997, and we've discovered stars forming in a distant galaxy as early as 250 million years after the Big Bang.

Extreme weather sometimes happens in very specific areas thanks to extreme surface temperature differences.

Astronomers study a lot of gorgeous things, but nebulae might be the most breathtakingly beautiful of them all. Nebulae are clouds of gas and dust in space. They can glow on their own or reflect light from nearby stars. When they glow...

Why do medical implants like insulin pumps and prosthetic knees need replacement? Explore how the immune system fights implants and how new devices are trying to help. -- Insulin pumps improve the lives of millions of people with...

The event that gave us our moon may have also given us the elements necessary for life and scientists might have found a very tiny piece of our solar system's past way out in space.

Is there any hope for those of us plagued by headphone tangles?

We explore several exoplanets whose features make us think they shouldn't even have been able to form in the first place!

Celebrate Asteroid Day by learning about the 3 biggest collisions that Earth has experienced with celestial objects.

An asteroid streaked across Arizona's night sky, and we have a new theory on where the hypothetical Planet Nine came from.

Have you ever wondered why, some nights, the moon looks like a big, bright circle, and some nights it looks like a little sliver? Join Jessi and Squeaks to learn about how the moon's orbit changes the way we see it here on Earth!

In this video Paul Andersen explains how the global climate is changing as a result of natural phenomenon and human actions. Changes in the solar radiation due to variations in the Earth's tilt and orbit have caused the ice ages. ...
