When it comes to fighting the climate crisis, one thing that we know we need to do is carbon capture and long-term carbon storage. But researchers have been struggling to find ways to actually get this to work. Which is why they've had...

Why is the Solar System Flat?

We often think of dinosaurs as either preying on other dinos or mammals, or as plant-eaters -- but in ecosystems today, those aren’t the only two options. So why would we expect dinosaurs to have only been carnivores or herbivores, with...

In 2003, microbiologists made a huge discovery. One that would force us to reconsider a lot of what we thought we knew about the evolution of microbial life: giant viruses.

Ovens are great for baking, cooking, and.... discovering quantum mechanics? In this fascinating episode of SciShow, Hank takes you through the science of quantum mechanics, and how ovens played a big part in their discovery.

What's happening inside our ears when we can hear that ringing? What's happening inside our brains? Sit back, clean the wax out of your ears, and let Michael Aranda explain! ----------

Even though we are still in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists are trying to figure out the ways in which this disease may stick with people in the long term - from lasting lung damage to potentially triggering...

While it’s probably most famous for its role in gene editing, CRISPR does more than just that: its ability to precisely cut and alter DNA could lead to new antibiotics, faster diagnosis tools, and more.

According to the fossil record, ancient humans usually had straight teeth, complete with wisdom teeth. In fact, the dental dilemmas that fuel the demand for braces and wisdom teeth extractions today appear to be recent developments. So,...

It's late, pitch dark and a self-driving car winds down a narrow country road. Suddenly, three hazards appear at the same time. With no human at the wheel, the car uses smart eyes, sensors that'll resolve these details all in a...

Even though age can contribute to someone’s death, it almost definitely won’t be the direct cause.

Breast milk grows babies' bodies, fuels neurodevelopment, provides essential immunofactors and safeguards against famine and disease -- why, then, does science know more about tomatoes than mother's milk? Katie Hinde shares insights into...

Our first video ever! Agriculture, hula hoops, SARS, and THIS video: how long did they take to get around the earth?

A clever mechanical proof of Snell's law.

Anthropologist Helen Fisher takes on a tricky topic – love – and explains its evolution, its biochemical foundations and its social importance. She closes with a warning about the potential disaster inherent in antidepressant abuse.

It turns out that defining what is and isn't a “tree” is way harder than it seems.

This week on the SciShow Talk Show Haley Hanson joins us from Ecology Project International to talk about how they bring high school students into the field to help with research and learn about ecology and conservation. Then Jessi from...
