From Cleo Abram. This chart shows how efficiently all animals travel, including you! The closer to the top, the more energy the animal uses, and the farther to the right, the bigger it is. And it turns out you, a human, are pretty darn efficient. To find out what’s more efficient than a human, subscribe!…

From Cleo Abram. This new material can camouflage itself like an octopus, changing its color and texture! Scientists get to choose what it looks like but it won’t automatically match any background…yet. They hope this tunable material could be used for new wearable devices or robots.

From Cleo Abram. They’re doing brain surgery on Monarch butterflies to solve a big mystery. Every year, monarch butterflies migrate thousands of kilometers from the U.S. and Canada to Mexico. How do they know where to go?? We already know they use the sun’s position to help them determine direction. But what if it’s rainy…or…

From Cleo Abram. In the middle of the desert are huge, 4km long concrete tubes that are part of a giant machine running the most precise experiment humans have ever built. Inside the tubes is a pipe with fewer particles in it than the International Space Station flies through and at the end are some…

From Cleo Abram. This machine found something scientists thought was impossible… If you want to talk to Mico, go to this link: bit.ly/CleoAbram-Copilot In the middle of the desert, miles from any city, are two HUGE concrete tubes. They’re part of a giant machine running the most precise experiment humans have ever built… Each tube…

From Cleo Abram. The Drake passage is known to be one of the most dangerous crossings in the world… Pressure changes, unimpeded winds, and ocean currents make for exceptionally chaotic seas, but the deadly conditions here and everything that creates them also plays a vital role in protecting our planet.

From Cleo Abram. This is the largest piece of Mars we’ve ever found on earth! It contains a rare glass created only under the intense shock wave pressures from an asteroid impact. We think this piece was ejected off Mars by an asteroid and sent hurtling towards Earth… But how do we know it’s from…

From Cleo Abram. We actually don’t know why ice is slippery. Seriously! We know that there’s a tiny liquid layer that acts as lubricant on the surface of ice and that lets us slide across it, but scientists have been debating where that layer comes from for two centuries. Now, there’s a new theory… For…

From Cleo Abram. If aliens looked at Earth from far away, would they know we’re here? Imagine little aliens speeding toward us – but their tech is the same level as ours. Astronomers just wrote a paper about what they’d see! For optimistic science and tech stories, subscribe! DOI 10.3847/1538-3881/ada3c7 #shorts #aliens #space #astronomy #science…

From Cleo Abram. We just discovered a new creature… the FIRE AMOEBA. It can live at hotter temperatures than any other animal as complex as it. And it’s changing how we understand the conditions for life on earth and beyond… HUGE if true! For more optimistic science and tech stories, subscribe. To read more: DOI:…

From Cleo Abram. This tiny device can navigate using quantum physics rather than GPS! Normally, a pilot needs four satellites to figure out its location… But this device uses atoms that act like compass needles sensitive to earth’s magnetic field, which is different everywhere! So it can record the magnetic “fingerprint” anywhere, no satellites needed!…

From Cleo Abram. These new @nike shoes are meant to focus and stimulate your brain before and after physical activity. Here’s how… #ad #TeamNike #Nike #science

From Cleo Abram. 3I/ATLAS is still zooming through our galaxy and capturing everyone’s imagination. Early reports are in about what it’s made of. But how do we know without physical samples? Turns out… You can learn a lot from light. Here’s how and subscribe to learn more! #comet #spectroscopy #space #interstellar #3iatlas #shorts

From Cleo Abram. A brand new medical treatment seems to have saved this little boy’s life. Out of the 20,000 genes in his body, one has a rare mutation, causing a life-threatening disorder. To help, scientists took stem cells from his blood, then used a harmless virus to insert a new working gene… For more…

From Cleo Abram. These super common LED lightbulbs almost didn’t exist… You need 3 colors to make white light. But one was missing. Why? It has do to with how the electrons “dance”… #shorts #LEDs #technology #light #discovery

From Cleo Abram. At the bottom of the earth there’s a massive machine that’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen. That’s because it’s mostly buried under the ice and it’s not looking at the stars… It’s hunting ghosts! Specifically, “ghost particles” known as neutrinos. These mysterious particles come from somewhere in space and are smaller than…

From Cleo Abram. If you smushed the mass of everything on Earth, at what size would it become a black hole? For Earth, that size is… But do black holes that small exist?

From Cleo Abram. Why do all snowflakes have six sides? It starts with a dust particle in a cloud…water vapor sticks to it and the molecules eventually freeze! Every water molecule has a bent “V” shape making them lock together at fixed angles, building a hexagon! But that’s just at the microscopic scale… For more…

From Cleo Abram. Let’s play a game! All of these animals lived with the dinosaurs. And then…the asteroid hit. Here are three match-ups, can you guess which of the two animals survived? If you got them all right, subscribe! These visuals were from the American Museum of Natural History’s newest exhibit – go check it…

From Cleo Abram. Zero G flights are VERY difficult to pull off, particularly for the pilots. In order to make everyone on the plane feel weightless the pilots need to keep the plane perfectly around you. That means mastering a physics problem that requires three separate pilots. Here’s why.

From Cleo Abram. In the 1990s, scientists ran an experiment on people using a fake rubber hand. They found that they could trick your brain into believing that the rubber hand was part of your body… It’s a fun party trick, but it also teaches us about how our brains evolved. Since then researchers have…

From Cleo Abram. I have a question: What’s the biggest planet we’ve ever found in our WHOLE observable universe? Our first contender is HUGE. You could fit 23 Earth’s across it!! This planet is less dense than marshmallows. But if you’re good with a little more scientific uncertainty, our second contender looks like it’s even…

From Cleo Abram. For the first time ever scientists have spotted a large mysterious deep sea creature, said to be one of the “least-known animals left on the planet”… They are one of the deepest diving mammals on earth, spending most of their lives below the water where they can’t be seen. But… we could…

From Cleo Abram. One specific area of the US has been dubbed a “mummy zone” for dinosaurs. Scientists uncovered specimens that were stunningly preserved. They could count individual scales on the body, hooves, and a fleshy crest on the top. How could an animal that died 66 million years ago be preserved in such amazing…

From Cleo Abram. How many people have ever lived… and how many of those people are alive right now? We made a graph! It’s wild. If you added up all the people who ever lived you’d get about… Population data sources: Kaneda, Greenbaum, Haub, 2022; United Nations, 2022; and D. L. Poston Jr., Biraben, Jean-Noel,…
