    The fix for our energy challenges is … a toaster - Rachel Yang

    Dig into the science of thermal batteries, and how this technology can generate heat more efficiently than fossil fuels.--Industrial manufacturers spend a huge amount of energy generating heat to make everyday materials and objects, like cement, steel, and paper. And since most companies use fossil fuels to reach these high temperatures, industrial heat accounts for 20% of our annual global carbon pollution. Thankfully, this is where a century-old technology comes in. Rachel Yang explores how heat batteries work.Lesson by Rachel Yang, directed by Sofia Pashaei.This video made possible in collaboration with Speed & ScaleLearn more about how TED-Ed partnerships work: https://bit.ly/TEDEdPartnerSupport Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-giant-toasters-could-power-the-world-rachel-yangDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-giant-toasters-could-power-the-world-rachel-yang/digdeeper----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!

    When did humans start getting divorced? - Rod Phillips

    Dig into the complicated history of divorce— from the earliest known divorce laws in ancient Mesopotamia to modern day. --Formally or informally, human societies across place and time have made rules to bind and dissolve couples.

Divorce is a battlefield for some of society’s most urgent issues, including the roles of church and state, individual rights, and women’s rights.

    This is the most frequent way to get head lice - Nazzy Pakpour

    Dig into what makes head lice so difficult to get rid of, and the effectiveness of our most common treatments.--For as long as humans have had lice, we’ve fought hard to get rid of them. Nit combs, the fine-tooth brushes used to remove lice and their sticky eggs, have been found among the ancient remains of cultures across the globe. Today it’s estimated we spend billions of dollars each year treating infestations. So why are lice so difficult to get rid of?
