More stunning footage from Alaska shows, up close and personal, the brown bears in action - hunting for salmon and caring for their young. Enjoy!

Alex Bellos tells us about a far superior method of cutting a cake using scientific principles.

Our journey begins in Alaska's Katmai National Park, both inhospitable and beautiful. We observe brown bears as they hunt salmon, we track the rare glacier bear, and then we continue south to British Columbia on our hunt for the rare Kermode bear, also called ghost bear or spirit bear.

Schrodinger’s hypothetical experiment involved putting an unfortunate cat into a box with a Geiger counter and a vial of deadly poison. Until the box was opened, the cat could be said to be alive, or dead… or possibly in both of these states simultaneously.

If a hotel with an infinite number of rooms has an infinite number of guests, how could it free up space when new guests arrive? Hilbert's “Grand Hotel” paradox has fascinated mathematicians, physicists, philosophers, and theologians, as it encourages another way of thinking about the notion of infinity.

On the most fundamental level thinkable, what are things? Why are things? And why do things behave the way they do? Here is an introduction to particle physics, with all of the vocabulary you'll need.

There is a lot of talk about how 3D printing could revolutionize the way that we make stuff. But what is 3D printing and how does 3D printing allow us to make almost anything from nothing? Professor Tim Minshall, Head of the Institute for Manufacturing at the University of Cambridge, explains it in this video, which is targeted at school-age students.

By following honeyguides, a species of bird, people in Africa are able to locate bees’ nests to harvest honey. Research now reveals that humans use special calls to solicit the help of honeyguides and that honeyguides actively recruit appropriate human partners. This relationship is a rare example of cooperation between humans and free-living animals.
