What would it take to make global supply chains cleaner and greener? Bo Cerup-Simonsen -- who's helping decarbonize the maritime industry as CEO of the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping -- discusses why tenacious...

Ever since we started launching stuff into space, we've communicated with spacecraft (and astronauts) using radio waves. But over the past few decades, scientists have experimented with a new technique that could make things a lot more...

Months before Apollo 8 took humans around the Moon for the first time, two Russian tortoises (plus some other lunar tourists) had already made it back home. This was Zond 5 — the first mission to return to Earth after visiting another...

Two mushroom guilds with vastly different strategies are locked in competition for forest dominance.

Ammonia is extremely useful to us as a crucial ingredient in fertilizers. But producing it also has a significant carbon footprint, which is why scientists have been on the hunt for a way to make ammonia production greener.

This week, CERN announced a new particle that will help further understanding of the fundamental forces, and a simulation of ancient creatures may give us a clue as to how life grew beyond the microscopic.

If you had to spend your entire life swimming through water, never touching the ground, you’d probably get pretty dang good at swimming. This is what life is like for the gossamer worm, and why its abilities could be inspiring new marine...

They live in the water, but do they actually drink it? Turns out, some fish actually do! Learn all about how different kinds of fish get the fresh water that they need to survive in this new episode of SciShow!

Hank gets to the bottom of two studies reporting high sea ice coverage and snowmass in Antarctica in the same year that the Arctic has reported a record low of sea ice. What is going on here?

Whether they’re dancing, hunting, or being a pain in the nose, these new arachnid species will knock all 8 of your socks off.

You've probably heard of acid rain: rain that's more acidic than normal because of pollution in the atmosphere. But, if rain can become more acidic, shouldn't it also be able to become more basic?

Improving batteries is a tough problem, but it’s also an important one because in many ways the future of our planet also depends on the future of batteries. Luckily, scientists are on the case, figuring out ways to give this essential...

You might know that if you chomp on a Wint-O-Green Lifesaver in a dark room, you can see little blue flashes of light in your mouth. What you might not know is that this is an example of triboluminescence: a fascinating, somewhat...

Most of us don’t really give fish scales a second thought, but for some fish, the scales of others can make for a tasty snack.

There are some geological areas on the planet that scientists still don't understand. For most things it's pretty clear—combine a volcanic eruption a dash of erosion, and boom, you’ve got a striking cliff! But not all the features on...

So what exactly do magnetic fields actually do? What would happen if they went away? Turns out, it could be catastrophic! SciShow will explain it all in this fun new episode hosted by Michael Aranda!

The Islamic Golden Age of Science is largely to thank for our scientific developments today. Around 750-1250 CE, the Islamic empire made incredible scientific advancements that changed the course of history! Join Michael Aranda for a...

We all know ducks quack, dogs bark, and birds chirp, but that barely scratches the surface of all the amazing ways animals have devised to talk to each other!

Things can go wrong in scientific experiments sometimes, but when it comes to engineering, getting things wrong can be disastrous.

Long lines, metal detectors and pat downs are a common staple of the airport process. But are these security measures actually efficient and effective? Join Michael Aranda for a new episode of SciShow where he breaks down the science of...

Did you know that in about 200 million years, Earth is due for another supercontinent? What exactly that supercontinent will look like, though, depends on a lot of geological factors, and is harder to guess at than you might think!...
