We've already seen a video about how proteins are made. That video, from 1970, used humans to illustrate the science in a fun and energetic (if a touch weird) way. Well now someone has made a new video explaining the science of protein synthesis using cut-out...

There has been a lot of cool and very exciting astronomy news lately that I want to share with you in one big gulp. First up is news about a new massive object discovered at the edge of the solar system. True to astronomers' tradition of coming up with cuddly...

I found this very cool video about scientists studying ant colonies. They found a large grass-cutter ants colony and studied how the colony is ventillated. In another colony, they poured a ridiculous amount of cement to freeze the colony's structure underground,...
