They explode when you touch them. Even a millionth of a gram can kill you. They can even disable you with their horrifying smell. SciShow introduces you to give of the most dangerous chemicals in the world. [SciShow]
Watch a Snake Swim Through Sand Thanks to High Speed X-Ray Equipment
Using X-ray equipment that allowed them to watch the animals move through a bed of dry sand, Georgia Tech researchers have studied how the shovel-nosed snake and sandfish lizard use their unique body plans to swim through sand. Information provided by the research could help explain how evolutionary pressures have affected body shape in sand-dwelling […]

Why are we Ticklish? [Science Video]
Why are we ticklish? And did you know that “ticklishness” is composed of two phenomenon? Knismesis, which all animals have, including us, and gargalesis, which only affects primates. [SciShow]
The Science of Domino Chain Reactions [Video]
A domino can knock over another domino about 1.5x larger than itself. A chain of dominoes of increasing size makes a kind of mechanical chain reaction that starts with a tiny push and knocks down an impressively large domino. [Stephen Morris | Via TA]
Can a Dog Understand the Human Language? [Science Video]
Can dogs actually understand what we’re saying when we talk to them? Recent research show that the creatures that we’ve been selectively breeding from wolves to what they are today for the past 10,000 years might know more about our language and emotions that we might think! [It’s Okay To Be Smart]
