The video starts with information about coastal geology and the evolution of birds. It includes amazing footage of white storks, wildebeest, as well as zebras in East Africa's Serengeti region.

The focus of this segment is on animals of the African savanna. We get to see giraffes and elephants, the largest of the land creatures, as well as cheetahs, the fastest.

Rhinoceroses, or rhinos for short, are the largest land animals after elephants. Five species remain (two in Africa and three in Asia) and all are endangered as a consequence of the illicit trade of their horns. The importance of rivers is another focus of this segment.

The series draws to a close with footage of apes, the most direct ancestors of humans. The narrator nicely sums up the meaning of evolution and man's place in nature.

The "metaverse" is the latest buzzword in technology and business. But do you know what it means?

Fracking is a controversial topic. This animated video tries to take a neutral look at fracking. It is relevant for all of us, because of high prices for energy and the danger to our drinking water.

On stage at Cannes Lions, game designer and author Jane McGonigal showcased research demonstrating the power that gaming can have in the real world.

The Ocean Cleanup is a Netherlands-based, non-government environmental engineering organization that develops technology to extract plastic pollution from the oceans. They have developed a "passive" cleanup system that takes advantage of the natural oceanic forces of wind, water, and currents.

What would happen to you if a black hole the size of a coin suddenly appeared in your pocket? Let's find out!

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.

This video takes a look at hydrothermal vents and the novel life forms that thrive there in the absence of sunlight, fueled by underwater volcanoes. One of these harsh environments is the Axial Seamount off the West Coast of the United States.

In a TEDx Talk, brain researcher Dr. Lara Boyd talks about neuroplasticity, how we learn, and how short-term and long-term memory work.

Lara Boyd talks further about behavior bringing about changes to the brain, and about why it's so hard to recover after a stroke.

Lara Boyd concludes her fascinating talk on the brain, explaining how personalized medicine and biomarkers can apply, not just to recovery from stroke and cancer treatment, but to teaching and learning in everyday life.

Actress, author, and neuroscientist Mayim Bialik considers open relationships. While she sees the benefits, there are certainly things she doesn’t “get” about this kind of arrangement, as she sees male and female biology clearly dictating different ideals.

Mayim shares her doubts and misgivings about open relationships. It seems that for her, the commitment, predictability, and closeness of a monogamous relationship is all together more meaningful and enjoyable.

We’ve all seen footage of the first men walking on the moon... but how exactly did they get there? This video details the fascinating, many-faceted construction of the Apollo 11 spacecraft so that we can see exactly what happened in what order to make this incredible journey a reality.

NASA has announced the results of an epic physics experiment which confirms the reality of a space-time vortex around our planet.

Experimenting with the physics of water in the weightless environment aboard the International Space Station. For more out of this world experiments please check out

After a seven-month journey, NASA’s Perseverance Rover successfully touched down on Mars on February 18, 2021. In this video, mission controllers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California celebrate landing NASA's fifth rover on Mars.

What actually are planets, asteroids and dwarf planets? Here, Dr. Robert Hurt from the Spitzer Science Center in California, touches upon this intriguing question. In addition, he addresses the status of Pluto and how it recently came to pass that, what was once considered our solar system's most distant planet, has recently been demoted and... why? Enjoy!

Within a deep and narrow cave in South Africa, paleoanthropologist Lee Berger and his team found fossil remains belonging to the newest member of our human family. The Homo naledi discovery adds another exciting chapter to the human evolution story by introducing an ancestor that was primitive, but shared physical characteristics with modern humans.

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