From Cleo Abram. Scientists just mapped an entire fruit fly brain. It’s the size of a poppy seed. Our human brains are about the size of a cantaloupe. This map is different from other brain images you’ve seen because it shows all of the almost 140,000 neurons linked by over 50 million synapses. It took…

From Cleo Abram. Your Thanksgiving turkey is a dinosaur. Seriously, by the most scientific definition! This is the best Thanksgiving fact of all time. Let me explain… This also means that some animals people often call “dinosaurs” actually AREN’T… I think it’s so cool that we know this. And also that I’m about to eat…

From Cleo Abram. If humans have only ever been 12 kilometers down… how do we know what’s inside? Well, scientists used to have some interesting ideas about this!

From Cleo Abram. NASA just launched a mission to look for alien life on Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons. The reason scientists think it might have life starts with the fact that deep beneath its icy surface evidence suggests there might be a huge saltwater ocean, with about twice as much water as all of…

From Cleo Abram. Remember when the ozone layer had a huge hole in it? Now it’s shrinking! Here’s what happened… The ozone layer is high in the atmosphere and shields us from radiation. But in the early 80’s scientists noticed the ozone above the south pole was depleting…. fast. Scientists suspected that chemicals in everyday…

From Cleo Abram. I have a question: Why can’t I vote online? I bank online! Over the past two months, I called up a bunch of voting and security experts to try answer that question. And the answer is more controversial, complicated, and high stakes than I could have ever imagined. Here are a few…

From Cleo Abram. Scientists have built basically a REAL LIFE TRACTOR BEAM. You know, in sci-fi, a beam of light can pull things in. Scientists are hoping their tractor beam could pull cells onto a sensor or out of a person painlessly during a biopsy. Here’s how it works… We’re just at the beginning of…

From Cleo Abram. This massive machine is burning weeds with LASERS. 5,000 a minute! The reason it’s so cool is it lets farmers use fewer herbicides to grow your food. But in order to do it… Farming is changing, and we just made a longer video all about it! Subscribe if you love optimistic science…

From Cleo Abram. SpaceX just CAUGHT a rocket booster! This is the first time anyone’s ever done that. Here’s why this was so hard and why it’s such a big deal… People have been trying to reuse expensive rocket components for a long time.

From Cleo Abram. We knew this asteroid would hit Earth (and mostly burn up in the atmosphere) – and that’s a really big deal. It’s only the 9th time we’ve detected an asteroid before it hit. Here’s why… and how we’re fixing that. Our current telescopes have identified we think around 94% of the largest…

From Cleo Abram. This is the world’s fastest boat. It could go 317 mph or 511 km/h! This kind of boat is called a jet hydroplane. Here’s how it works… These boats are wild… and also dangerous. That’s why nobody has broken the world record set back in 1978. But it’s our obsession with speed…

From Cleo Abram. This is asteroid 2024 PT5. It normally lives in the asteroid belt, but it approached Earth close enough and slow enough to become temporarily pulled by gravity into Earth’s orbit. It’s expected to orbit around us for about two months before escaping and traveling towards the sun. Unfortunately, it’s going to be…
