Sometimes, being an expert in one scientific field doesn’t translate to another. But then there’s Luis Alvarez, a particle physicist who helped expand our knowledge of the world by investigating everything from atomic bombs, to Egyptian pyramids, to what actually killed the dinosaurs. This video was inspired by Collisions: A Physicist’s Journey from Hiroshima to the Death of the Dinosaurs, a new book by Alec Nevala-Lee.

While these concretions aren’t the remnants of a lost city, we do know that studying how they formed can give us insights into ocean currents, climate change, and could even give us insights into making cleaner, greener concrete. This video was inspired by Megalodons, Mermaids, and Climate Change: Answers to Your Ocean and Atmosphere Questions, a new book by Ellen Prager and Dave Jones.

One day, we might nap our way to Mars. Researchers believe suspended animation or
hibernation is the best way to travel through space. Here’s how they want to do it.
Support for this video was contributed by the Translational Research Institute for Space Health
at Baylor College of Medicine. TRISH is an applied health research catalyst that funds
high-impact scientific studies and technologies to keep astronauts healthy during deep space
exploration. TRISH is empowered by the NASA Human Research Program, and a consortium
led by Baylor College of Medicine with partners MIT and Caltech.

People have been trying to prevent the spread of infectious disease forever, yet we only got germ theory in the 19th century. Except for one 16th century Italian doctor, who got it exactly right and was immediately forgotten.

This isn’t the alchemy you’re used to from modern pop-culture adaptations. In real life, alchemists weren’t fighting the forces of evil. They were conducting experiments, making observations, and drawing conclusions.⁠
⁠
If that sounds like science to you, that’s because IT IS. ⁠
⁠
Learn about the real science behind alchemy, and Newton’s role in it, in our latest Deep Dive.

In January 1925, the children of Nome, Alaska faced a deadly diphtheria outbreak. Every child in Nome and its surrounding towns were in danger. Their local doctor couldn’t stop the progression of the disease, and with the next closest doctor being 10 days away, things did not look good. ⁠
⁠
We make no assumptions here… but depending on your age, you might know where this is going. This story has a happy ending thanks to some very good boys and girls. One of these good boys, Balto, has even been memorialized in museums and on film. But how much of the 1995 animated movie is true? ⁠
