What Happens When You Put a Hummingbird in a Wind Tunnel?

Adults Science
Scientists have used a high-speed camera to film hummingbirds' aerial acrobatics at 1000 frames per second. They can see, frame by frame, how neither wind nor rain stop these tiniest of birds from fueling up.

How to Turn Water into Wine - Science Trick

Adults Science
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.

The Surprising Places We Waste Energy

Adults Science
We use a LOT of energy, but we waste a lot too. Where that waste happens might surprise, you though. We don't just waste energy when we leave the lights on or the thermostat cranked down too low. It happens at the dinner table and the water faucet as too!

Could We Clone Ourselves?

Adults Science
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.

Head transplantation -- The future is now | Dr. Sergio Canavero

Adults Science
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.

GoPro: GoPro Survives Inferno

Adults Science
Rocket scientists incorporate a number of different testing techniques before committing a rocket to flight. One of those tests is called a "static test." In this setup a rocket engine is fired while being anchored to a test bench. Fitted with instrumentation, the scientist can safely measure thrust, pressure, cooling, and other rocket data. Watch and witness from inside the inferno when something goes wrong.

Can Birds Actually Deliver Messages?

Adults Science
Is it all just make believe?
