While space probes have traveled as far as Neptune, humans have only gone as far as the Moon. It’s incredibly hard to send people into space, and as Kurzgesagt explains, it may be impossible for us ever to visit other galaxies. If we don’t die during the years it takes to get there, collisions with

Humans tend to imagine advanced alien civilizations building spaceships and traveling between galaxies. But what if true progress means thinking smaller? Kurzgesagt explores the Barrow Scale, which measures progress by the ability to manipulate tiny structures. Controlling things like atoms and molecules might be the true key to mastering the universe.
A normal kitchen blender is powered by an electric motor. Mister Patina thought it would be much cooler to fix his blended drinks using a gas engine. He started by building Toyan’s V8 engine kit, then engineered a drivetrain to spin the blender’s blade. The 4 hp engine works just like the real deal, and
If you could time travel to prehistoric Earth without modern conveniences, how long would you survive? Fossil explores eras from the Precambrian to the Pleistocene, estimating how quickly each would do you in. The creatures might seem like the biggest threat, but the climate, environment, and lack of food would likely take out any unprepared
In this video by Steve Mould, the science educator shows how a vibrating device can make various objects stick to a ceiling like a suction cup. The physics behind the experiments is truly fascinating, and the results are surprisingly effective. But first, a brief lesson about Bernoulli grippers and how they work.
It’s not often that a card-style multitool includes a pair of pliers, but this slim profile tool from NexTool does.
