Quantum computers could eventually outstrip the computational limits of classical computers. They rely on the behavior of atomic and subatomic particles, whose quantum states are incredibly fragile and easily destroyed— which is why this technology remains largely theoretical. How would quantum computers work, and are they really possible? Chiara Decaroli investigates. [TED Ed]
In this video from TED Education, discover the science of how viruses can jump from one species to another and the deadly epidemics that can result from these pathogens. [TED Ed]
This video is about how Albert Einstein made a mistake when applying the Field Equations of General Relativity to cosmology (in particular, to a static, constant density universe), and solved the problem by introducing the cosmological constant, rather than allowing for a dynamic universe with a scale factor – that is, the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker universe, first […]
For a long time, most people saw ADHD as “a boy thing.” Today, that mindset has started to shift, but even now, studies report that males get diagnosed significantly more often than females. So, what’s going on? [SciShow Psych]
Homeopathy pills and drops aren’t better than sugar pills, and thanks to the American Chemical Society (Reactions on Youtube) you can now all learn why. The use of homeopathic remedies have gone on for nearly 200 years, but so has the progress of science. And that progress has shown us that the foundations of homeopathy […]
One of the key players of our immune system is the complement system. An army of millions and trillions of tiny bombs, which work together in a complex and elegant dance to stop intruders in your body. Learn more about the complement system in this video from “In a Nutshell.” [Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell]

The technology we use to keep cool is heating the world in a vicious feedback cycle, so we need to improve it and use it less. [MinuteEarth]
