With some of the highest energy bills in Southeast Asia and extreme weather to match, the Philippines experiences the climate crisis -- and climate activism -- as a part of daily life. Clean energy advocate Kala Constantino highlights...

This video is about Bell's Spaceship Paradox of Special Relativity, wherein a pair of rockets (or spacecraft) connected by a weak thread accelerate with uniform acceleration, maintaining the same separation, and the question is: does the...

This video is about how physics dictates the design of modern windmills - why they are so big, have so few blades, and have such skinny blades.

This video is about elastic and inelastic collisions in 1D, 2D and 3D - and how the collision of conservation of energy with conservation of momentum, plus a secret direction, results in a completely predetermined behavior for most...

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

Does your toilet water drain differently than in the other hemisphere? Is it because of the Coriolis effect? Hank has some things to clarify about these questions, and more in this edition of I Don't Think It Means What You Think It Means.

Bumblebees fly, lights turn on, and you can ride a bike without falling over. We all know these things to be true, but what you may not know is the real reason behind why they work. Join Olivia to bust seven myths about motion.

Microphones keep getting smaller and smaller, but have you ever asked what it would be like to have a bigger one in the form of a shirt? And though we tend to incorrectly think that we’re having two-way conversations with our pets, we...

If a tree falls into the forest and doesn't decompose, what happens to it?

Does your cat have a concept of time? Is it different from a snapping turtle's? Scientists study how animals process sensory information to figure out how they experience time. Spoilers: human kids and adults might experience time...

You might think that you’re pretty familiar with your body, but it turns out that our bodies still have some surprises for us!

Fat cells don't often receive praise in everyday life, but they probably deserve more credit, as they might be healing our wounds.

Today Hank talks with Dr. Cara Nelson about invasive plants that use toxic chemicals and rapid reproduction to outcompete native plants, and Jessi brings some adorable invasive birds. Dr. Nelson is a professor of Restoration Ecology at...

Today on SciShow News we talk about a new research effort that is aiming to revolutionize how we treat disease. We also discuss the video where Boston Dynamics shows off it's new version of the Atlas robot by using a hockey stick to mess...

Every year the moon’s orbit gets a little bigger and it moves just a little farther away. Should we worry about the Moon breaking free?

Flies are evasive buzzing machines that make it nearly impossible to swat. Luckily, science has some explanation to help you predict their next move. Hosted by: Stefan Chin

Our bodies instinctually respond to the movements and rhythms of nature, like the uplifting feeling you get when walking in a forest. Can art evoke the same emotions? Experiential artist Lonneke Gordijn takes us through her studio's...

Jessi and Anthony have been helping Squeaks learn all about flying before his big airplane ride to the robot museum so he isn’t so nervous! Here’s everything they learned together!

Imagine a boat that propels by moving its "tail" from side to side, just like a fish. That's the kind of machine that TED Fellow Robert Katzschmann's lab builds: soft-bodied robots that imitate natural movements with artificial, silent...

In this video Paul Andersen explains how energy is used in chemical processes and everyday life. Students should understand that energy is neither created or destroyed but is converted. Most of the energy is delivered to our planet...

How to think of 3x3 matrices as transforming 3d space

A method for thinking about high-dimensional spheres, introduced in the context of a classic example involving a high-dimensional sphere inside a high-dimensional box.

Using geometry we can not only understand, but visualize how causality dictates the order of events in our universe.
