Thanks to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and their research and technology partner MBARI for partnering with us on this episode of SciShow. They worked together on an exhibition, “Into The Deep: Exploring Our Undiscovered Ocean,” to give...

We’re all excited about the Mars rover Perseverance this week, but scientists are also working on some other exciting things!

Today, NASA announced that there is...occasionally...flowing, liquid water on the surface of Mars. What?!

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...

Hank takes us on a journey to center of the Earth to explain both how the solid core formed and why it is so important for life as we know it.

In 1965, MIT's Lincoln Laboratory saw their Lincoln Calibration Sphere 1 (LCS-1) launched into Earth orbit. It was an empty aluminum sphere and couldn't do any science of its own. But the world's most boring disco ball has played a huge...

Human beings will survive a long time—but due to amazing survival techniques, these 9 animal species will definitely live longer. Join Michael Aranda for a new episode of SciShow, and find out why these species will outlive us!

Weather isn’t all sunshine and rainbows—sometimes it’s rain, and sometimes that rain looks like....blood?? Join us for wild episode of SciShow where we'll show you 5 scary weather phenomena that is downright spooky! Hosted by: Stefan Chin.

Scientists have discovered an underground lake of liquid water on Mars! While this isn’t itself evidence for life on Mars, it does raise some new possibilities.

We all know that warm air rises, but how does this scientific fact influence our weather and create those flows of air molecules that we know of as wind? In this episode of SciShow, Hank explains where wind comes from, what factors...

If you're flying on a plane in a thunderstorm, you should be more worried about the wind than the lightning.

You probably know about the geomagnetic field that protects the earth from solar storms and radiation. But precision satellites have measured ANOTHER magnetic field coming from Earth, and its signals might hold the key to searching for...

You know, it's probably best to just not put snow in your mouth regardless of color. Hosted by: Olivia Gordon ----------

Some bacteria seem to be using a type of memory to help them alter future behaviors, based on their past experiences.

Hank talks about astrobiology - the study of and search for life in the universe off Earth. Right now, the field has more questions than answers, but all they all seek to answer that one fundamental query: are we alone in the universe?

The ocean is the largest ecosystem on Earth, but it's still mostly unexplored. This is partially due to the challenges of ocean exploration, like bone-crushing pressure and the need to bring your own air. But here are five ways that...

We know these glaciers are already on the way out, so we need to find out whether we can bulk them back up again. For that, we turn to the glaciers’ past – and a lot of penguin bones.

In which Hank celebrates the landing of the Mars Curiosity Rover, which, if you were following SciShow on Twitter, you know was pretty freaking cool. So here are the Top Five Coolest Things about the Mars Curiosity Rover!

Scientific discovery often dabbles in the extreme, challenging and exceeding what we think of as "possible." And this year's discoveries were no different! We present to you three scientific discoveries made this year that set out to...

Water is one of the most abundant and important substances on Earth, so you think we'd know everything there is to know about it. Turns out, water is so much stranger and more complex than we ever thought! Join Olivia Gordon for a new...

Learn how magnetic bacteria work, and how scientists think they can help technology in the future!

Looking at a map, you would never know that North America once almost ripped itself in half. But 1.1 billion years ago, it tried to - and had it succeeded, there would now be an ocean where Lake Superior is!

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...

Hank hits you with a ton of news this time - Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has plans to retrieve Saturn V rocket engines from the bottom of the Atlantic; new research on the impacts from the Deep Water Horizon oil spill to life in the Gulf of...
