Uranium is a unique element, used in research, medicine, space travel, and of course weapons.

Turn water into wine! This simple science experiment demonstrates how fluids with different density can switch places. Fun to use as a magic party trick or as a demonstration for a physics experiment. Watch as the water switches place with the wine, because water has a higher density then wine. You could try using a playing card instead of the thin plastic spacer.

Why do spikes form on ice cubes? Without them the world would be vastly different.

It's definitely higher than "11"

The world of energy is a confusing place. What's better, nuclear or solar? What's the difference between fluorescent bulbs and LEDs? What's the difference between energy and power? And what the heck is a kilowatt-hour?!

Is the science of Orphan Black realistic? Could we clone humans, or engineer them to have customized traits? We take a look at today's genetic engineering technologies to find out if designer babies and human cloning is, or should be, a reality.

His talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. "The earth is flat". "Home computers are useless". "Humanity is condemned to be starved". "Women are born inferior". Throughout the years, pioneering scientific discoveries overturn established theories, vibrant societies transcend dominant perceptions, bold individuals expand physical and intellectual limits proving everything wrong: This is the way in which we seek to improve our lives and to deepen the understanding of the world around us. At TEDxLimassol we are searching for the next refute in small and large things: In the universe and subatomic particles. In our societies and in our bodies. In our behavior, attitudes and perceptions. In our mental, physical and personal capabilities. Proving everything wrong is always the right thing to do.

Is it all just make believe?

A weekly show where we endeavor to answer one of your big questions. This week, a bunch of people asked, "Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?"

This is the solution to: http://youtu.be/QD3hbVG1yxM

How exactly does meditation affect your body?

Just how small are atoms? And what's inside them? The answers turn out to be astounding, even for those who think they know. This fast-paced animation uses spectacular metaphors (imagine a blueberry the size of a football stadium!) to give a visceral sense of the building blocks that make our world.

Could we stop an asteroid on a collision course for Earth?

Miss The Solar Eclipse This Year? Watch This Incredible Footage Of It!

A weekly show where we endeavour to answer one of your big questions. This week, "bored during school" asks, "Why do we get dark bags under our eyes when we're tired?"

One picture can change the world.

Only one side of the Moon is visible from Earth because the Moon rotates about its spin axis at the same rate that the Moon orbits the Earth, a situation known as synchronous rotation or tidal locking.
