How Quantum Computers Break The Internet
AdultsCreativityScienceTechnology...A quantum computer in the next decade could crack the encryption our society relies on using Shor's Algorithm.
Primitive Technology: Iron Bacteria Cement
AdultsConstructionCreativityEducation...I developed a cement made from iron bacteria, then made pots from it to test its ability to set and not dissolve in water.
How Smart Are Crows Actually?
AdultsAnimalsLifePsychology...Have you seen that adorable clip of a raven sledding down a snowy roof? We have, so we took a deep dive into how crows and other corvids exhibit tool use, intelligence, and maybe even consciousness.
Can We Capture Greenhouse Gases?
AdultsEnvironmentNatureWorld...It’s one thing to say a business is carbon neutral. It’s another to be able to truly account for that carbon at all stages of the production process.
rimitive Technology: Decarburization of iron and forging experiments
AdultsConstructionCreativityLife...I took a brittle, high carbon/iron alloy (cast iron) made from local ore and used a decarburization method to reduce it's carbon content making it malleable and forged it flat by hammering.
The continents are moving. When will they collide?
AdultsEnvironmentLifeWorld...Dig into the science of plate tectonics to find out when the next supercontinent will emerge— and how it could affect Earth’s environment.
Black Holes
AdultsEducationEnvironmentScience...Black Holes Aren’t Black or Even Holes. What Are They?
How Can We Store Renewable Energy?
AdultsConstructionScienceTechnology...Decarbonizing our power production is vitally important if we want to curtail climate change, but there are some major logistical issues we’re going to have to overcome before we can do that.
Primitive Technology: Cane Water Filter/Siphon
AdultsConstructionEducationNature...I made a water filter from cane that siphons clean water from a dirty water while simultaneously using the xylem present in the the cane as a filter.
