From asteroid spaceships, to exploring ice volcanoes, let's look at a few of the NIAC's recently approved Phase I projects!

FRBs last just a few milliseconds, and astronomers have detected less than a couple dozen of them without our current telescopes. Where do scientists think they come from?

There are a number of bird species that construct pretty cool things - today on SciShow, we'll visit with three of them...

By giving some fossils a dental exam, we've learned more about how tusks first evolved. And humans aren't the only primate that can get down at karaoke night.

This week, scientists revealed a sample of amber containing an extinct tick that fed on dinosaurs. Unfortunately, we can't take a blood sample from it and make Jurassic Park a reality, but it can still tell us a lot about how dinosaurs...

All animals have adaptations that help them survive in the wild...some just focus more on back-end development than others. Whether for offense, defense, or both, here are five creatures with butt-kicking behinds!

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.

If you want to make a better hip replacement, who better to turn to than… a snake? While these hip-less creatures might seem like a weird choice for help with this particular issue, a major part of creating comfortable, long-lasting...

Scientists have discovered a shard of a planet that survived the death of its star and TESS has found the first direct evidence of an exocomet.

We've only found one planet in a globular cluster, where gravitational interactions should usually rip baby planets apart, but that's not all that excites astronomers about PSR 1620-26 b.

Whether you get it from standing on the top of Mount Everest or watching a video about the size of the universe on SciShow Space, awe can be a powerful, transformative emotion.

When you think of antihistamines, you're probably only thinking about getting rid of a runny nose, but we're learning that antihistamines can be used for nausea, insomnia, and even depression!

Frogs falling victim in the past to one of the biggest destroyers of biodiversity didn’t have much hope, that is, until humans thought to get a bird’s eye view.

Elephant seals are among the only known animals on earth to migrate twice a year, but how they do it makes the already incredible feat even more astounding.

For decades scientists believed that monkeys could not speak human language due to an anatomical difference in vocal tracts. Today, we're not so sure that this is the limiting factor after all.

Why did so many birds ditch penises? Maybe it was natural or sexual selection, an accident, or in exchange for something way more useful to them. Whatever the reason, penis loss goes to show that internal fertilization doesn’t require a...

In 1956, a team of scientists conducted an experiment that, seemed kind of trivial, but the results would challenge one of our fundamental beliefs about the entire universe.

Until now, researchers have assumed that healthy cells switch off the enzyme telomerase as a way to protect themselves from turning cancerous. But a new study suggests the enzyme may have a healthier role than we previously thought....

You may know about The Marshmallow Test, a popular psychological exam to see if people have willpower, but psychologists found that it might not be measuring willpower after all.

Eyewitness testimony can be really important when investigating crimes, but how can we make them more reliable?

M31N 2008-12a is a rare phenomenon called a recurrent nova, and it may hold the key to understanding the lives and cataclysmic deaths of massive stars.

Astronomers are trying to answer the question of how Pluto formed, and we have more evidence for the existence of Planet Nine!

Researchers think they may have found a new way to study planets after they've been "buried" in a star! Astronomers are also officially acknowledging the discovery of a distant body with a thousand-year orbit and an adorable nickname.

It seems the more we learn about black holes, the more there is to find out. In this case, what in the universe could have put one on its side?
