“Where and when did people build the first city?” sounds like a simple enough question. But archaeologists have been arguing about it for more than 70 years. Lots of people came up with the idea of cities, but for all kinds of reasons, they didn’t necessarily pull it off. Today, we’re going to explore the idea of why cities fail, and why living communally in cities isn’t inevitable for humans.

Centered just over the tip of India, and spanning more than 15,000 kilometers in diameter, is Earth's deepest gravity hole. Yes, that is a real term, and no, scientists don't know why it exists. Nor do they know why the Ross Sea near Antarctica has one. But if you traveled to either, you'd feel just a tiny bit lighter.

So you want to make the perfect red pigment—something vibrant, something that won't fade, and something that isn't toxic. Good luck, because scientists are still working that out. But in their search, some are taking the whole "pigment" part out of the challenge, by turning to structural color instead.

Description: In 1869, an explorer found himself in a Utah canyon that, as far as he knew, shouldn't have existed. The Green River he was traveling down had cut through the Uinta Mountains, and he couldn't explain why. In 2026, scientists seem to have finally solved the mystery: a giant blob of rock about 200 kilometers below the Earth's surface.

One of the Internet's favorite creatures is the axolotl. With their fluffy pink gills and big eyes, there's no question these guys are cuties. But axolotls are in danger, both in captivity and in the wild. Here's the story of how they evolved, why researchers took notice, and what's at stake if we lose this endangered species.

Hosted by: Tom Lum (he/him)

*In this video, we used several images of domesticated axolotls while talking about wild axolotls. Unfortunately, we didn’t have access to many usable images of wild axolotls, which is why we used the domesticated ones. We want to acknowledge that they look very different!

Window technology has made some major advances over the millennia. Like adding screens to keep bugs out, and double glazing to keep heat in.

Let's look at some of those innovations, from switching out glass for transparent wood, to smart windows inspired by squid skin.

Britain's population exploded during the Industrial Revolution. To sustain that growth, they needed a lot of food and, therefore, a lot of fertilizer. Their ports were clogged with boatloads of imported poop and bones from all over the world, until they discovered a rock that was the best fertilizer of all. Ever since, our entire global food system has precariously teetered on access to a precious fossil resource: phosphorus.

Why are there no wild cows? The domestication of the dog didn’t lead to the extinction of the wolf. But the ancestor of domestic cattle, the aurochs, is extinct. In this deep dive, we examine whether we can de-extinct it -- and the surprisingly good reason why we should.
