Regular old glass like the kind that makes up a mason jar can shatter and explode if put in the oven. But we do have types of glass that you can bake your pie or brownies in and it's all thanks to some neat chemical tricks.

There’s all sorts of weather out there, so Squeaks and Mister Brown are playing a game show where they will learn all about the different types!

Lawyers are advocates for their clients -- and, in court, they're usually the ones who do the talking. Should that always be the case? In an effort to shift this power dynamic, TED Fellow and legal aid activist Lam Ho shares how lawyers...

What if leadership at work wasn't for a select few, but rather shared among many? Management consultant Gitte Frederiksen gives us the recipe for "distributed leadership" -- dynamic, multidimensional networks of leaders that tap into...

Black holes are the result of absolute gravitational collapse of a massive body: a point of hypothetical infinite density surrounded by an event horizon. At that horizon time is frozen and the fabric of space itself cascades inwards at...

The best form of energy available to the world is energy reduction. In this video Paul Andersen explains how energy conservation and energy efficiency and be used to decrease energy during peak demand. Tiered and variable pricing, as...

In this video Paul Andersen explains the differences between a system and an object. Depending on the scale it often times easies to view a system as an object if the constituent parts aren't relevant to the question being asked. He...

In this video Paul Andersen explains the importance of intermolecular forces in chemistry. Intermolecular forces exist between dipoles (like hydrogen bonds), between dipoles and induced dipoles (like Ar and HCl) and between induced...

Could it be that all the electrons in the universe are simply one, single electron moving back and forth through time?

In this video Paul Andersen explains how scalar fields can be used to show the distribution of scalar quantities. The most important scalar fields in AP Physics 2 deal with electric potential. Scalar addition can be used to combine...

There's a big thunderstorm happening where Squeaks lives, and it's making the Fort kind of creepy... <br/>
Join Squeaks as he faces his fears and learns more about the things that scare him!

You don't actually have a "reptilian brain" somewhere deep in your head making you act like a salty crocodile, so where did that idea even come from?

Quantum Field Theory is generally accepted as an accurate description of the subatomic universe. However until recently this theory had one giant hole in it. The particles it describes had no mass!

One potential avenue for cancer treatment uses electricity not from any outside machine, but from within our own bodies.

Taking photos used to require technical knowledge and time in a lab, but now we have electronic devices in our pockets that do all of the work for us. How do these miracle devices do it?

We all feel a compelling need to watch stories, to tell stories ... to discuss the things that tell each one of us that we are not alone in the world, says TV titan Shonda Rhimes. A dominant force in television since "Grey's Anatomy" hit...

An atom smasher, or particle accelerator, collides atomic nuclei together at extremely high energies, using engineering that exploits incredibly cold temperatures, very low air pressure, and hyperbolically fast speeds. Don Lincoln...

In this video Paul Andersen explains how the internal energy of a system can change as the internal structure of the system changes. An object model will not be able to account for the restoring forces and so a system model must be...

Taking photos used to require technical knowledge and time in a lab, but now we have electronic devices in our pockets that do all of the work for us. How do these miracle devices do it?

How do schools of fish swim in harmony? How do the tiny cells in your brain give rise to the complex thoughts, memories, and consciousness that are you? Oddly enough, those questions have the same general answer. Nathan S. Jacobs...

We don’t know what happens to stuff when it gets sucked into a black hole, but in the same instance, we don’t know what happens to the black hole. There’s a possibility that sucked up stuff might actually give the black hole “quantum hair”.

Antimatter Explained

Proving something right isn’t just about quantity. It’s also about quality and over the years, scientists have made measurements proving that we understand ridiculously well how the universe works.

Geckos aren't covered in adhesives or hooks or suction cups, and yet they can effortlessly scale vertical walls and hang from ceilings. What's going on? Eleanor Nelsen explains how geckos' phenomenal feet allow them to defy gravity.
