There's an invisible force shaping our lives, affecting the weather, climate, land, economy, and just whether a flag looks majestic or not - we're talking about the wind! Today we’re going to go into the science of where the wind comes...

Today Phil follows up last week’s look at the death of low mass stars with what comes next: a white dwarf. White dwarfs are incredibly hot and dense objects roughly the size of Earth. They also can form planetary nebulae: huge,...

Doctors beat back a disease that was killing tens of thousands of babies a year with a machine based on a simple principle of physics.





FYI: We try to leave jargon out of our videos, but if you want to learn more...

If you want to be prepared for a nuclear attack, here’s a science-based guide to help you get there.

Investigate the theories surrounding cosmic dust bunnies and discover how the tiny particles could hold the key to the formation of life on Earth. -- Consider the spot where you’re sitting. Travel backwards in time and it might’ve...

This week, experiment with balloons and learn how you can make your very own rocket with Jessi and Squeaks!

We're enjoying the summer here in Montana, and to help celebrate we thought we'd put together a compilation of our favorite sun-related episodes from our past. Don't worry, you won't need sunglasses for this one!

Bladeless fans can look like magic. How does all that air come out of that empty ring?! Well, it turns out that bladeless fans are more like a conventional fan than you might think, but that doesn't mean there isn't some really cool...

Hank introduces us to the relatively new field of evolutionary developmental biology, which compares the developmental processes of different organisms to determine their ancestral relationship, and to discover how those processes...

For sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor, the ocean is more than a muse -- it's an exhibition space and museum. Taylor creates sculptures of human forms and mundane life on land and sinks them to the ocean floor, where they are subsumed by the...

We may not be sure who’s behind it, but we can tell you that the Charlie Charlie Challenge doesn’t really work. Because physics.Very, very special thanks to Henry Reich of Minute Physics for helping with the content of this video.

Hollywood can be pretty negligent about physics and astronomy, even in really good movies, but there are a few specific misconceptions that pop up again and again.

Getting kicked anywhere hurts, but getting kicked in the groin REALLY hurts for a few different reasons.

A certain viral video may have brought it to your attention that blowing out candles on a birthday cake might be gross, but exactly how gross depends on who’s blowing the candles out.

Usually when it's snowing outside, it's really calm, pretty, and fun to play in! But there are certain types of big snowstorms, called blizzards, that can get really windy, wild, and even dangerous!

Just how small are atoms? And what's inside them? The answers turn out to be astounding, even for those who think they know. This fast-paced animation uses spectacular metaphors (imagine a blueberry the size of a football stadium!) to...

Neuroengineer ed Boyden wants to know how the tiny biomolecules in our brains generate emotions, thoughts and feelings -- and he wants to find the molecular changes that lead to disorders like epilepsy and Alzheimer's. Rather than...

Blowing bubbles can be really fun, but they're also a great way to learn some science!

Hank puts the immense power of the sun into perspective through comparison with the most powerful nuclear bomb ever detonated.

Lemmings are small, thickset vole-like animals that live in the Arctic tundra. They live in a harsh environment, are super-cute, kinda mean, and totally misunderstood.
