There are many ways to turn cheap iron into strong steel. In our new video we tried almost all of them, including molten baths of boiling salt, and special vacuum systems and plasma. Come have a laugh, while you learn about metallurgy youtu.be/8rfp2I8ZVZs

What would it take to make dragon real? We just posted our longest ever video going through all the chemistry, biology and ecology of dragons and how we could bring them to life. Check it out here: youtu.be/Qo0kKk8loGQ

New video day! youtu.be/0zM5jiZJ5p0 This time, we tackle the reverse nilered challenge, and turn vodka back into toilet paper. And yes, we do make sure it can wipe.

It shouldn't be this easy to spy on you, but it is. Less than $100 in hardware is all that's needed to track your every movement. youtu.be/UtwQ9APzYWA

Turns out, you don't have a bad memory, you just need to learn the trick to using it properly! When I was in University, I learned this system and it made everything way easier. Check it out in our new video! youtu.be/w8JuHaRQmUs

A friend of the channel released a new album here is the first song: open.spotify.com/track/1xJANb... www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfMr...

How big can bug really get? Well, with our new chemical cocktail, pretty damn big. Come see us spite evolution in our new video! youtu.be/D0PjLvlBsWw

Since Dolly the sheep, cloning has been possible. But what was once a fringe technique confined to a lab, has now become an every day service for your beloved pets. So what would it take to clone a person? And how do we make a clone tank to grow it in? Find out in our new video! youtu.be/HW-aygjNU1Q

Have you ever wondered if the meat in the grocery store is still alive? Well we did, and thought we'd check and see if it is. The answer will take us through the entire Frankenstein tech tree, as we see what it would take to bring grocery store meat back from the brink of death. youtu.be/xSCl_FBbq_E

It worked. Every single corpse we purchased was successfully resurrected. The dead live once more. Video coming soon.

My actual to-do list today: Resurrect the dead Film it My to-do list for tomorrow: Check if it worked Film it.

It's finally complete! Come meet Yorick, our new levitating, talking, servo skull. We went all out on this build and I think it came out great. youtu.be/IAuapNwJ2vQ

We just posted a really cool collab video with a company called Neoplants that's making genetically engineered house plants that clean the air. We take a deep dive into how you even make modified plants in the first place, and see how they test them: youtu.be/ib-D1EelH4Y

So cool to see this collab between Thought Emporium and Neoplants! Justin did a great job explaining the tech without prereq knowledge. Some of my tools make a lil cameo in their fancy Parisian lab. 💚 youtu.be/ib-D1EelH4Y?...

One of the worst crimes of Russia’s war is the abduction of children. This Yale lab tracked the kids. Trump and Rubio cut the funding. You can help. Urge Rubio to reinstate the funding — and donate here. medicine.yale.edu/lab/khoshnoo...

Rescissions package passed by a single vote. Devastating but we fight on in the Senate. This cannot become law. Millions will die.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

I’m excited to announce that my paper describing non-canonical mitotic mechanisms in the early mouse embryo is out in @science.org ! (link at end of 🧵)

My favourite conspiracy is that ghosts ARE real, but they don't obey gravity.... so they get left in space. We've never found one because earth is moving through space, but without gravity to hold them to the planet, they are quickly left behind in the void.

Okay so current plan is to tighten the belt on any unnecessary expenses, double down on my hardware design time and build that modular plate reader and offer it in my shop asap. In the meantime, I'm hoping some of the leads from y'all crystalize into more stable contract work🤞🤞 Thank you all for RTs

Have you ever wondered what the process of making antibiotics looks like? We explore the process and the amazing history of one of the very first antibiotics, penicillin, in our new video. youtu.be/YOrRQtA8BsY

It feels incredibly weird to be purposely growing a liter of mold, but here we are. We're trying to grow our own penicillin for a video, which means lots and lots of blue mold. But that means carefully formulating a growth media.... for mold. Which feels very silly.

The 500 richest people in the world added $304B to their combined net worth yesterday after Trump's tariff pause. Meanwhile, retirees, small businesses, and workers are still reeling from the mess. Trump's actions feel chaotic until you see who really comes out on top.

This is the budget resolution that Republicans have voted for. Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

This intro to synthetic biology is an awesome feat of science communication - zero to repressilator in 45 min! Reminds me of the tutorials by @synbio1.bsky.social (m.youtube.com/@syntheticbi...) that I learned from back in the day. Looking forward to watching the companion video on @nebula.tv next

Terrifying? Amazing? Horrifying? Inspiring? Probably at least two of those.. If you're a software dev type (or scifi author?) and have not really looked at this stuff before, you should definitely watch this one. Many parallels..

Super exciting new video! This one is a deep dive into genetic modification and is also our announcement that we've expanded our store to now carry DNA, and bacteria! So come for a ride and learn how to reprogram life itself: youtu.be/10OUPyamn1w

One thing we really ought to do now is fast-track the Ukrainian membership in the European Union. Not just as a middle finger to russia, but because it shreds Trump's rare earth mineral treaty nonsense.

Botany valentine. Another from years past. New one on Monday!

Well, this is NOT how I expected our national professional organization to be covered this year. American Society of Microbiology MUST do better - this is not ok. www.statnews.com/2025/02/03/t...

USAID matters. I've often disagreed with their strategy and choices, but their work saves more lives than any philanthropy can. It's a rounding error in the federal budget, and one of the best things we do as a country. To see it destroyed overnight by one unelected man is an unmitigated horror.

A much awaited full Jerry video has finally arrived! Meet our genius pet eldritch horror and see the tricks they can do. youtu.be/3V3CMD_9xXs

Every airline should cancel routes into Russia after they shot down an airliner, then tried to make it crash in the water to cover it up

New video! This time, we managed to take some xrays using radioactive antique dinner plates! And while we were at it, built an xray machine, and xrayed out Egyptian mummy. It's a wild ride, check it out here! youtu.be/PVpP9gcnIcE

We built an xray machine, then used it to xray the egyptian mummy we made last year. You can even see the amulets embedded in the wrappings!

One of the coolest images I've taken in a while. A geiger counter casting an xray shadow on an intensifying screen.

Accidentally demonstrated that photons carry momentum. This is a top down view of a cloud chamber, with an xray beam shooting through it from right to left. You can't see the xrays, but all the charged stuff they're sending flying is clearly moving in the direction of the beam!

Can you see wifi signals? No. But our new robot can! See how it works and how we built it in our new video youtu.be/zijQUOHOshY

EVERY. SINGLE. CONSTRUCT. WORRRKKEEEEDDDDD It's gonna take some time to get better photos, but here's a sneak peak. My blue chromoprotein/fluorescent protein fusion worked perfectly. It's so pretty and looks great in white light and UV.

It's crazy how long it took to make, and how expensive these 5 petri dishes are. This is what thousands of dollars of DNA printing works out to. But each one that works will eventually get added to our store for ya'll to play with. Colorful colonies hopefully monday 🤞

Of the new pieces of DNA I ordered, by far the one I'm the most excited for is one that should make bacteria colonies do this. In ~2 days I should know if the design worked and if I can replicate this pattern

Every single one of my DNA orders printed and I am SO excited. Including the biggest print I've ever ordered, that is also the most complex genetic circuit I've ever made. If they all work properly, they're going to be so fun, and great additions to our store
