The Lunch Lab gang is on edge as the notorious food critic, Nelly Nitpick, reviews Fizzy’s new black bean burger. Barry Broccoli visits Lunch Lab Live and Corporal Cup teaches a delicious Veggie Frittata recipe.

Molecular Matters: Polar and Non-Polar Solids Polar molecular solids are crystalline solids with a permanent dipole moment due to differences in electronegativity between atoms. These solids have strong dipole-dipole interactions, lower...

Death Valley is a vast and intriguing National Park, known for its extreme heat and arid conditions. Despite its harsh environment, it is home to a surprising amount of life, including unique wildlife and vibrant wildflowers. The park...

A “tipping point” is when a system, with just a small amount of additional energy, is pushed from one stable state to another suddenly and dramatically. This can be a chair falling backwards. Or it can be a major earth system collapsing....

With climate change making temperatures more extreme each year, like we recently saw in the great Texas freeze and the Northwest heatwave, large-scale power outages become a matter of life and death. Could a power grid failure during an...

The weather down here can get pretty crazy. But we got curious and asked: just how extreme can weather actually get on planet earth? So we decided to travel the world in search of answers and discovered not only some fascinating answers,...

Are real-life fire lookouts becoming obsolete due to modern technology? Meet Mark Hufstetler, a fire lookout at Baptiste Tower in Flathead National Forest, Montana, who believes human observation is still imperative in fire detection and...

Arctic air is warming, causing scientists to worry that melting arctic ice and snow could also lead to a sudden permafrost thaw and release of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) that forms a climate tipping point or feedback loop....

In this episode, we delve into the latest science of the “urban heat island” effect, learn about the looming threat of a potential “Katina-like event” that threatens their electrical grid, and explore the gamut of options being pursued...

New NASA Cassini data shows that Saturn is not the world we once thought it was...

Everything you could want to know about Venus.

How viewing Jupiter in infrared and ultraviolet can uncover its secrets.

Making liquid nitrogen is hard - in fact up until 150 years ago scientists doubted whether it was even possible to liquefy nitrogen. In 1823, At the royal institution in London, Michael Faraday first produced liquid chlorine, kind of...

We put aerogel to the test vs 'not-a-flamethrower', a huge 2000°C flame to a large fiberglass blanket infused with silica aerogel - formerly the lightest solid (that title is now held by graphene aerogel).

Discover how Momofuku Ando's instant ramen noodles, created to combat post-war hunger, became a global sensation.
