We all know that warm air rises, but how does this scientific fact influence our weather and create those flows of air molecules that we know of as wind? In this episode of SciShow, Hank explains where wind comes from, what factors...

Meet the Duke of Burgundy, a species of butterfly that was saved from certain doom, thanks to a bridge.

We often think of the ocean’s tide as a simple rise and fall, connected to the motion of the Moon. But on any given shore, the reality is much more complex and oceanic scientists have realized recently that there’s another, more...

Plants make oxygen using photosynthesis, but what happens to the air when those trees drop their leaves in winter?

In our last list of strange aircraft, we stuck to covering the weirdest jets to take to the sky, but there are plenty of other types of bizarre flying machines out there! In this episode, Hank will tell you about five other unlikely...

You might think most planes look the same, but here are five of the most bizarre aircraft that, no matter their appearance, still managed to fly.

Are you slowly killing your car by using below average gas? Olivia talks about octane ratings and how your vehicle is designed to handle them. Hosted by: Olivia Gordon

If it smells like delicious buttered popcorn when you are in a middle of the forest, it’s not because there’s a movie theater nearby, but Binturongs, arboreal carnivore, might be.

What makes flamingos go from grey to pink? And can the same thing happen in humans? Quick Questions explains! Hosted by: Michael Aranda

Let's learn all about the waves that we play in at the beach!

Watch. Dime. Develop. Powder. Pantry. Dirt. That's right, it's time for a dip into the random, because we're talking about the Dada theater that grew out of Symbolism, and the Surrealist theater that followed Dada. You'll learn about...

After more than two decades as an anchor for ABC News, an on-air panic attack sent Dan Harris's life in a new direction: he became a dedicated meditator and, to some, even a guru. But then an anonymous survey of his family, friends and...

There's an invisible force shaping our lives, affecting the weather, climate, land, economy, and just whether a flag looks majestic or not - we're talking about the wind! Today we’re going to go into the science of where the wind comes...

This video discusses how polarized sunglasses act as quantum measurement devices by demonstrating the strange behavior of light passing through multiple filters. It delves into the concept of quantum entanglement, Bell's theorem, and the...

Plants make oxygen using photosynthesis, but what happens to the air when those trees drop their leaves in winter?

In this video Paul Andersen explains how the amplitude of a wave is a measure of the energy of the wave. He gives several examples of wave amplitude and shows you how to calculate the wave of a transverse and longitudinal wave.

Remember the last time you used your phone and it left a nice warm spot on your face? - Is that causing cancer? Michael Aranda tells you all about the radiation on your cell phone.

Hank brings us another simple experiment that demonstrates the important biochemical process of osmosis by turning a chicken egg into a frightening alien-looking thing.

A cat's bladder can only store a golf ball's worth of urine. For humans, it's a coffee mug and for elephants, a kitchen trash can. An elephant's bladder is 400 times the size of a cat's, but it doesn't take an elephant 400 times longer...
