The MinutePhysics crew has been hard at work on a banger of a video about acoustics. In fact, we got so excited about the video that we’re turning one of the scenes they created into merch. Here’s a sneak peek:

The Minute team published several awesome videos on our various channels over the last few weeks.

ALL THE DOGS, EXPLAINED
What are we, 10 MinuteEarth? For this video, we had to ditch our usual time constraints in order to cover all of our favorite canines, from the dire wolf, to Laika, the first animal in space. Also, we made a poster about it; see more details further down for a newsletter subscriber discount…

xkcd’s What If?

What if the moon turned into a black hole?
In this video, Randall explains what a black hole moon would mean for humanity. The answer was pretty surprising.

The berry that changes your taste buds
In this video, Kate takes our viewers on a trippy ride into the science of miracle berries.

The Magnetic Shadow Effect
Henry doing what he does best: finding some weird phenomenon and using physics and drawings to explain the heck out of it.

• Our very own Jasper just had a paper on randomness published in Nature. Here’s an alternate cover Sarah designed for the occasion:

  

• Arcadi gave a talk at the Valencia Institute of Biomedicine with Sassy Science about LGBTQ+ science.

  

• We launched a new tee in honor of pollinators’ week. It’s bee-utiful!

  

• I really enjoyed this video from wildlife photographer Jake Davis about a wolf kill.

• You’ve got to watch Aldo’s amazing video about the geometry of textiles and weaving. (You might know Aldo better as the guy who makes the ridiculous sound effect for the what if? videos.)

• The drawing in this abstract of a paper for Cell caught Lizah’s attention (and as a result everyone else’s too…)

  

• Here’s a lovely multi-media piece from an artist about AI and art.

• Ever recommends this video about the deep roots of misinformation.
