Protons make up most of the regular matter int he universe, but we're still figuring out a few of their quirks... Or quarks. Join Hank Green and learn why protons are still so mysterious to scientists, and what we've discovered about...

Some see string theory as the one great hope for a theory of everything - that it will unite quantum mechanics and gravity and so unify all of physics into one glorious theory.

TED curator Chris Anderson shares his obsession with questions that no one (yet) knows the answers to. A short intro leads into two questions: Why can't we see evidence of alien life? And how many universes are there?

Is the Universe Entirely Mathematical feat. Max Tegmark

The quantum world is weird. Today we're looking at a strange particle called a glueball that contains no matter...they're made of pure force!

Hank remembers Back to the Future and tells us about his favorite word combination--lasers and fusion.

In this glimpse into our technological future, cryptographer Craig Costello discusses the world-altering potential of quantum computers, which could shatter the limits set by today's machines -- and give code breakers a master key to the...

Hank lays out three of the most awesome discoveries in science in 2013, from the fields of physics, space science and anthropology.

How does a robin know to fly south? The answer might be weirder than you think: Quantum physics may be involved. Jim Al-Khalili rounds up the extremely new, extremely strange world of quantum biology, where something Einstein once called...

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!

TED curator Chris Anderson shares his obsession with questions that no one (yet) knows the answers to. A short intro leads into two questions: Why can't we see evidence of alien life? And how many universes are there?

How do you measure a nebula? With a brain scan. In this talk, TED Fellow Michelle Borkin shows why collaboration between doctors and astronomers can lead to surprising discoveries.

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

Inspired by Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek, physicist Miguel Alcubierre set out to transform one of the cornerstones of science fiction iconography, the Warp Drive, into reality. But is it even possible? Can we "warp" the fabric of reality...

Scientists have found fossils that show life appearing on Earth much earlier than we thought. Meanwhile, could there be a new fundamental force?

Today on SciShow news, dead person wisdom is helping enrich our understanding of the natural world - how did Vikings manage to be such awesome navigators? And is heart disease inherent in human beings? Scientists think mummies may have...

The Researchers reconstructed the face of the organism which might be one of our earliest ancestors. Meanwhile, two researchers from Harvard announced that they have created solid metallic hydrogen.

JoAnn Kuchera-Morin demos the AlloSphere, a new way to see, hear and interpret scientific data. Dive into the brain, feel electron spin, hear the music of the elements ... and detect previously unseen patterns that could lead to new...

The True Science of Parallel Universes

There is a mind-boggling amount of data floating around our society. Physicists at CERN have been pondering how to store and share their ever more massive data for decades - stimulating globalization of the internet along the way, whilst...

Are you there Dark Matter? It's me, a billion pendulums.

New discoveries into two weird things that may have played havoc with the ancient solar system: dark matter and a wandering star.

When scientists first split the atom, they didn't realize what they'd done until physicist Lise Meitner figured out they had discovered what we now call nuclear fission.
