In ‘Hey, I was going to eat that!’ news, this is a video of Youtuber NileRed completely annihilating a hotdog in ‘piranha solution’, an incredibly volatile mixture of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide. The hotdog is quite literally vaporized, first reacting and turning to carbon, then that carbon turning to

To test whether cats can perceive optical illusions, this is a video of Scottish Shorthair cat Horisco interacting with a rug that appears to be a hole. So, can cats perceive optical illusions? Based on this video, not in the slightest. Granted this wasn’t the most scientific of all experiments,

This is a video of The Action Lab’s James Orgill using a vacuum chamber to increase a cup of liquid nitrogen’s evaporation (as a result of increased boiling due to the lower pressure), causing the temperature to drop until it freezes into a solid around 66 degrees above absolute zero

Visual learning: it’s way cooler than just reading a boring textbook and writing dirty words in the margins. And to prove that, this is a video of The Action Lab’s James Orgill sticking his hand in a vacuum chamber and sucking all the air out. His hand blows up like

This is a video of The Action Lab’s James Orgill painting the entire interior of a room he made out of insulation board with the world’s blackest commercially available paint, Musou black, which absorbs 99.4% of light. He then turns on an overhead light bulb to see what it looks

An apple a day, am I right? “What about them?” Great with peanut butter or cheese, much harder to eat plain. This is a video of Slow Mo Guy Gavin spinning an apple in a jet of compressed air until it explodes, filmed at 28,500 frames/second so he can actually

Because magic is all around us, you just have to know where to look (PROTIP: look behind doors marked ‘FOR WITCHES AND WIZARDS ONLY’), this is a video of The Action Lab’s James Orgill demonstrating two chemical reaction tricks: one which creates very realistic looking fake blood, and another that

This is a photo of a single atom as captured by scientist David Nadlinger. The photo, which David very cleverly titled ‘Atom In An Ion Trap’, features a strontium atom (with 38 protons and a diameter of a few millionths of a millimeter) visible in the very center of the
