I recently got to visit the anti-matter factory at CERN. This is the only place in the world where they've managed to make antihydrogen. This is antihydrogen. It's an atom of antimatter made of an anti electron, also known as a positron and an antiproton in the middle. This is arguably the most expensive material in the world, costing an estimated thousand trillion dollars per gram.
They have to be incredibly careful with this antimatter, because it's a kind of opposite matter to what our world's made from. So if the antimatter touches literally anything, it will annihilate, immediately turning all of its mass into pure energy. Fortunately, antihydrogen is slightly magnetic, so the scientists at CERN can stop it from touching anything by hovering it in a magnetic field called a penning trap.
After the Big Bang, half of the universe was made of anti-matter and the other half normal matter. According to many of our best theories of cosmology. But today we don't see any antimatter in the universe and is a mystery where it went. So making anti-matter in the lab means we can study its properties, which might give us some clues about what happened to half a universe’s worth of anti-matter.
This experiment I visited tested which direction antihydrogen would fall in gravity. Would it fall down like matter? Or because it's anti-matter? Would it fall up? Turns out it did fall down slightly. Disappointing, because now I can't invent hoverboards. But it's really cool for me to actually see the actual experiment from when all of that news came out. So it's pretty cool to be in an anti-matter factory.

Astronomers have just spotted something the universe has never shown us before — a triple black hole smash-up. Imagine three cosmic giants, each powerful enough to swallow stars, colliding in a single, mind-bending event. In this video, we’ll break down how scientists detected it, what happens when black holes merge, and why this discovery could rewrite what we know about the universe. Stick around — this is space at its wildest, and it’s happening right now.

Our planet is going through insane changes right now — from the ground beneath our feet to the skies above. Giant asteroids racing past Earth, the Moon’s hidden influence on our oceans, earthquakes shaking continents, and strange signals from deep space. This isn’t just science — it’s the wild reality of the planet we call home. Join us as we explore Earth’s biggest mysteries, cosmic threats, and geological wonders that prove our world is alive and full of surprises.

For centuries, the mystery of the pyramids has baffled the world — how did ancient Egyptians move millions of massive stone blocks without modern machines? Now, archaeologists may have cracked the code. From hidden canals to clever engineering tricks, new evidence is rewriting history and revealing just how advanced this ancient civilization really was. Get ready to uncover the secrets of Egypt like never before.

In San Francisco, a luxury skyscraper is slowly sinking and tilting yet people still live inside it. Engineers are racing to keep Millennium Tower safe, but the sight of a billion-dollar building sliding into the ground is nothing short of surreal. And that’s just one story. In this video, we explore other places where architecture and nature clash: artificial islands in Dubai that may sink back into the sea, New York literally collapsing under its own weight, a floating airport in Japan sliding into the ocean, ancient structures hiding secrets underground, and even futuristic underwater cities already being planned. From lost megastructures to vanishing metropolises, these are the world’s most unbelievable building mysteries.

In 1958, farmers digging for bat poop in a Chinese cave stumbled on something way stranger—a fossilized skull that would baffle scientists for decades. At first, experts thought it was a Neanderthal, but new micro-CT scans have revealed a twist: it doesn’t fit neatly into Neanderthals, Homo sapiens, or even Homo erectus. Instead, Maba 1 is a mash-up of features—part this, part that, and part “what on Earth is that?” The skull’s brain size is surprisingly modern, but its structure is just too weird to belong to any known species. Some researchers now think it might represent a completely unknown human lineage that lived in Asia 300,000 years ago. Join us as we uncover the mystery of Maba 1 and what it tells us about our strange, twisted evolutionary story.

A fortress has just been uncovered in the Caucasus, and it’s nothing like we’ve ever seen before. Imagine a wall stretching a full kilometer, built over 3,000 years ago, standing as proof of a civilization that thought on a mega scale. This isn’t just another Bronze Age site—it’s a mystery fortress that could rewrite the history of how people lived, traveled, and defended themselves at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. Why build something this massive in such a remote place? Archaeologists think it might have been used seasonally by nomadic groups, but the full story is still buried in the stones.

There is no sound in space. In the near-vacuum of space, there is nothing to transmit the physical waves that we need to perceive sound. But that doesn't mean we can't MAKE sound from space. This week, I feature several artists using scientific data to create "space sonification" projects. From the longest palindrome ever created to a chorus created from Earth's magnetic field, these pieces lie at the intersection of art and science. More than just art, they allow us to perceive patterns in complex data in a completely new way
Perhaps it answers the question: If the universe had a voice, what song would it sing?

Why does sex exist? You might think the obvious answer is “reproduction” but there are plenty of organisms on Earth that don’t require sex to reproduce. And the more that scientists examined sex, they more they realized that it’s an expensive and inefficient way to get your genes to the next generation. The true purpose of sex is actually one of the longest-standing mysteries in evolutionary biology. But scientists are closer than ever to finding the answer. Here’s what we know about the evolutionary enigma of sex.

Pucker up. I'm gonna lay some science on you!

When you really think about it, kissing is an odd human behavior. You know, all the rubbing of our faces all over each other. So there must be a good reason why we do it, right? From motherly comforts to testing the genetic compatibility of your "mate", the science of kissing is pretty awesome.

Learn more about "The Science of Kissing" by Sheril Kirshenbaum at http://amzn.to/Nuy0TE

Sheril's book has an extensive bibliography if you'd like to look more closely at any of these studies, but here's a couple that I mentioned:

Study of facial features and attractiveness ("men prefer fuller, redder lips"): http://psycnet.apa.org/journals/psp/68/2/261/

Claus Wedekind's famous "t-shirt" study: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7630893
