According to quantum physics, the universe should have collapsed on itself in the instant after the Big Bang due to all particles being 100 million billion times heavier. Recent observations of the universe existing suggest that this may...

The discovery of the Higgs boson ten years ago in the Large Hadron Collider was the culmination of decades of work and the collaboration of 1000s of brilliant and passionate people. It was the final piece needed to confirm the standard...

In June, the consortium of Europe’s top particle physicists published their vision for the next several years of particle physics experiments in the EU. A big part of that is the Future Circular Collider, which, if it happens, will...

The Standard Model of particle physics is arguably the most successful theory in the history of physics. It predicts the results of experiments with a numerical precision unmatched by any other branch of science, and it does so almost...

Reality has cracks in it. Universe-spanning filaments of ancient Big Bang energy, formed from topological defects in the quantum fields, aka cosmic strings. They have subatomic thickness but prodigious mass and they lash through space at...

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

This year's end News episode wraps up with nothing but superlatives: the biggest, oldest, first, last, smallest and hottest developments in science from 2012.

Hank gives us the specifics on the "discovery" of the elusive Higgs boson. It is, at the very least, a victory for the scientific method!

Hank responds to viewer questions, and explains what the Higgs boson particle actually IS.

The Higgs Boson. What more need be said?

SciShow News explains how evolution and antibiotics have teamed up to produce an ordinary germ that can now, sometimes, kill people. Also, our favorite piece of science equipment -- the Large Hadron Collider -- has big plans for this...

Physicists estimate that dark matter accounts for about twenty three percent of the known universe - the only problem is that no one really knows what it is...

Hank brings us up to date on the latest in the search for the Higgs boson and interviews Fermilab physicist Rob Roser.

This year's end News episode wraps up with nothing but superlatives: the biggest, oldest, first, last, smallest and hottest developments in science from 2012.

"Rock-star physicist" Brian Cox talks about his work on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Discussing the biggest of big science in an engaging, accessible way, Cox brings us along on a tour of the massive project.

One of the most significant scientific discoveries of the early 21st century is surely the Higgs boson, but the boson and the Higgs Field that allows for that magic particle are extremely difficult to grasp. Don Lincoln outlines an...

What is mass and what does it have to do with the Higgs Boson?

How do you know when you've "discovered" a particle? What do we mean by "discovery"?

Hank talks to some VIPs from CERN about the question on everyone's mind: does the Higgs Boson particle exist? And describes how CERN is going about finding the answer.

Hank interviewed Sergio Bertolucci on October 11, 2011 and Rolf...

Eighty-five percent of the matter in our universe is dark matter. We don't know what dark matter is made of, and we've yet to directly observe it, but scientists theorize that we may actually be able to create it in the Large Hadron...

DIY SCI host Steve Spangler demonstrates how a sound hose works. Then makes a giant version because anything worth doing is worth overdoing!

DIY SCI host Steve Spangler demonstrates how an ordinary trashcan can launch like a rocket using liquid nitrogen! WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! LEAVE EXPERIMENTS LIKE THIS TO THE DIY SCI PROFESSIONALS!

Particle physicist Nima Arkani-Hamed (Institute for Advanced Study) relates his belief that supersymmetry must exist at some energy scale.

Particle physicist Nima Arkani-Hamed (Institute for Advanced Study) describes how physicists knew that the Higgs boson had to be there before any experiment.
