Industrial manufacturers spend a huge amount of energy generating heat to make everyday materials and objects, like cement, steel, and paper. And since most companies use fossil fuels to reach these high temperatures, industrial heat...

Most cultures who developed metalworking technology never let the skill go to waste. But in what's now Michigan, Native Americans started making metal tools well before anyone else did, and then stopped. And the reason why this happened...

Meet Wu Yulu, a remarkable Chinese farm laborer with an extraordinary imagination. Despite his lack of education, he uses scrap metal to build robots and dreams of creating one with a brain. However, pursuing his ambition has come at a...

Phones, TVs, solar panels, and electric car batteries are all made of some rare and unusual elements. As our modern world creates more and more of these technologies, will things go from "rare" to "nonexistent" and what will we do then?

Biology and technology grew closer together when scientists manufactured neurons that acted like those in a brain! And birds evolved to protect themselves in two ways: fight and flight.

Some might call sand coarse, rough and irritating, but there’s no denying that it’s used everywhere: from glass to asphalt, sand is a key ingredient for all sorts of materials in construction and technology. But this heavy reliance on...

In a village where unemployment is high and university education is out of reach, Johannes Moneny defies the odds by building his own car. With determination and creativity, he gathers scrap metal and pieces together a bright blue...

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...

Bonehead’s mountain climbing vacation is cut short after a mole in JP Rothbone’s organization informs HOPE Headquarters of his next nefarious plot. It seems revenues at JP’s landfill are down ever since the local recycling center...

In this segment, we're exploring how the principles behind smartphones can revolutionize recycling through 'gamification' and smart bins. These aren't just ordinary bins; they're equipped with the technology to differentiate between...

Discover the technology and materials used in the manufacturing of golf balls. From the core made of synthetic rubber or metal blends, to the layers of resin and thermoplastic, each component is carefully designed to enhance performance....

This video explores the lasting impact of Alexander Graham Bell’s work, from his continued dedication to supporting deaf education, including his connection with Helen Keller, to the technological advances inspired by his inventions....

Thursday, July 30, 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm ET: NSF-funded Physics Frontiers Centers (PFCs) are pushing the frontiers of science across the disciplines of physics. The Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics Center for Evolution...

Is used a "Touch Board" from Bare Conductive and my own woodworking/electronics skills to make this project. It's basically a touch keyboard. But instead of a regular piano-type keyboard, the notes are activated when a small metal button...

Embark on a delightful journey through the enchanting history of toys and the art of toy making. From ancient civilizations to modern-day marvels, explore how toys have evolved through the ages, reflecting the societies and technologies...

What is an ion? What role does it have to play in the structure of atoms? Find out in this Chemistry Journey video by The Fuse School.

There are 118 elements on the periodic table, but it seems like only a handful of them get any attention. But just because you haven't heard of an element doesn't mean that it isn't a vital part of everyday life. Hosted by: Michael
