    Iceland's secret power - Jean-Baptiste P. Koehl

    Explore how geothermal energy— the heat in the Earth’s crust— is being used to create renewable electricity and power.--While the weather in Iceland is often cold, wet, and windy, a nearly endless supply of heat bubbles away below the surface. In fact, almost every building in the country is heated by geothermal energy in a process with virtually no carbon emissions. So how exactly does this renewable energy work? Jean-Baptiste P. Koehl explores the two primary models for harnessing the planet's natural heat.Lesson by Jean-Baptiste P.

    Creating a dinosaur from a chicken - Jack Horner

    View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/building-a-dinosaur-from-a-chicken-jack-hornerRenowned paleontologist Jack Horner has spent his career trying to reconstruct a dinosaur. He's found fossils with extraordinarily well-preserved blood vessels and soft tissues, but never intact DNA. So, in a new approach, he's taking living descendants of the dinosaur (chickens) and genetically engineering them to reactivate ancestral traits — including teeth, tails, and even hands — to make a "Chickenosaurus".

    Dig into the science of how anabolic steroids and their recreational use can affect your body, organs and brain. --Steroids. They’ve caused global scandals. They’re banned in most athletic competitions. Yet the same properties that help elite athletes and bodybuilders improve performance also make steroids valuable for treating many illnesses and injuries, such as AIDS and cancer. So if steroids are used as medicine, they must be safe to use recreationally, right?

    Deciphering a visible quantum object - Aaron O'Connell

    Physicists are used to the idea that subatomic particles behave according to the bizarre rules of quantum mechanics, completely different to human-scale objects. In a breakthrough experiment, Aaron O'Connell has blurred that distinction by creating an object that is visible to the unaided eye, but provably in two places at the same time. In this talk he suggests an intriguing way of thinking about the result.Talk by Aaron O'Connell. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
