Why The Olympics Almost Banned This Shoe Cleo Abram 2024-07-27 | When is sports gear so good it’s actually cheating?Start your business with a Shopify free trial: shopify.com/cleoabram There is a ton of cool sports gear that’s banned from sports for making athletes too good. Swimsuits that make a swimmer too streamlined, gloves that make a receiver’s hands too grippy, bats that let a player hit the ball too hard, and shoes that help a runner go too freaking fast… They call it “TECH DOPING,” using physical gear to gain an unfair advantage. In this video, I’ll show you the banned gear you won’t see at the Paris Olympics, and the cutting edge tech you will see that’s on the very limit of what’s allowed.You might be thinking, hold on, no gear should give athletes an advantage! But… we don’t run barefoot anymore. We don’t swim naked. We use tech to play sports. And that tech is always improving, pushing forward what humans can do.So… where’s the line?This is about way more than sports. In every part of our lives, technology pushes forward what we can do! And it’s up to us to decide what we want from it. This video is about that question.We talked to athletes, looked at the world’s best gear, and even went all the way to Nike’s test lab to try on the real Team USA Olympic uniforms. This is the cutting edge of sports tech, explained.Chapters: 0:00 What is “technology doping”?1:48 What gear should be banned?3:10 The world’s fastest swimsuit4:23 Should this be allowed?5:24 The world’s fastest shoes6:28 I cut open a supershoe8:32 What makes supershoes so fast?9:28 I try the Team USA Olympic uniform11:36 Should these shoes be allowed?12:42 Should prosthetics be allowed?14:01 Why Blake Leeper was banned from the Olympics15:46 What is fair?16:38 ;)You can find me on Instagram here: instagram.com/cleoabram On TikTok here: tiktok.com/@cleoabram Or on Twitter here: twitter.com/cleoabram Bio:Cleo Abram is an Emmy-nominated independent video journalist.

How SpaceX Just CAUGHT A ROCKET BOOSTER Cleo Abram 2024-10-14 | SpaceX just CAUGHT a rocket booster! This is the first time anyone’s ever done that. Here's why this was so hard and why it's such a big deal... People have been trying to reuse expensive rocket components for a long time. Particularly the booster, the part that boosts the piece with people or cargo out of our atmosphere. NASA has their rocket boosters detach and fall into the ocean, which means a specialized dive team has to go get it from the ocean, disassemble, refurbish, and then reload it with propellant.SpaceX found ways to make their boosters turn around and propel themselves back to specialized landing areas, which was already a big deal and there’ve been a lot of hurdles along the way…That’s what makes this accomplishment so cool. Not only is it part of the biggest rocket ever, Starship, but it returned back to the exact spot it launched from and lowered itself precisely into giant metal arms on its first attempt.This means the world’s biggest and most powerful rocket is also quickly reusable - opening up so many possibilities for the future of spaceflight.Subscribe for more optimistic science and tech stories!#animation #space #spacex #starship #rocket
Why NASA Got A New Space Suit Cleo Abram 2024-10-13 | Why do we need this new space suit to go back to the moon?In 2026, four astronauts will leave Earth on one of the most powerful rockets ever made. This Artemis III mission will be the first time anyone has been back to the moon since 1972. When they arrive, two of them will descend to the surface and spend 6 and a half days there, which is twice as long as anyone has ever spent on the moon. And they’ll be the first humans to explore this region near the lunar South Pole. To do that, these astronauts need to be able to stay outside on the lunar surface longer than ever before.For this big ambitious mission and for the future of space travel, we need the next generation of spacesuit… I got to be one of the first civilians to try on the prototype of the REAL SUIT that will bring humans back to the moon - and maybe to Mars.Go check out our new longer video on this and subscribe for more optimistic science and tech stories. #science #space #animatedscience #animation

We Knew This Asteroid Would Hit Earth Cleo Abram 2024-10-08 | We knew this asteroid would hit Earth (and mostly burn up in the atmosphere) - and that's a really big deal. It’s only the 9th time we’ve detected an asteroid before it hit. Here's why... and how we're fixing that. Our current telescopes have identified we think around 94% of the largest asteroids in our Solar System. So the main challenge are the medium sized ones, which could still cause real damage, and we think we’ve only located 38% them. Luckily, scientists are currently building new telescopes that could increase that number to 60% by 2025 or 76% by 2027.If you like optimistic science and tech stories, subscribe for more of our show Huge If True!#shorts #animation #deepest #science #technology #historyfacts

WTF is an Ion Engine? Cleo Abram 2024-09-23 | This special engine works differently than the rockets you’re used toand it’s a big deal for the future of space travel. Here’s why - and if you love optimistic tech stories, subscribe for more!It’s called an ion engine. NASA used one in their Deep Space 1 mission. Any kind of propulsion involves shooting stuff one way to get your ship to move the other. Rockets burn fuel and shoot down the gas created in a chemical reaction to send the rocket up. Burning fuel requires oxygen, which rockets have to carry.Ion engines shoot out electrically charged gas, like Xenon or Krypton. And create electricity from the sun or a nuclear reactor to positively charge the gas. Then, using electric and magnetic fields, they accelerate the gas to 40 km/second or 90,000 mph. This is almost 10 times faster than chemical engines can shoot out gas, so they need much less fuel to push the ship forward and can operate for thousands of days. The problem is, the overall push is super small - it’s equivalent to the force it takes to hold a piece of paper in your hand.So think of it as a slow build up that can get really fast over time, but can’t launch off the ground. For that, basically lighting a big candle works great :) The future is probably a combo of different engines, each good at different things. One of you sent in a request to make a video on how these work, so we looked into it for you! Thank you!#animation #engine #space #science #tech

NASA’s Next-Generation Space Suits Cleo Abram 2024-08-04 | Did you know NASA hasn’t updated their space suit design in over 30 YEARS? It’s becoming a major problem, especially since we are set to go back to the moon in 2026. NASA’s current space suits are called EMU’s or extravehicular mobility units. The ones you see in videos from the ISS are not only old, but aren’t made to walk on the moon. So NASA gave a company called Axiom Space $228M to develop brand new moon suits. The goal of these suits is to fix some of the problems of the past. Specifically: They need to fit a wider range of body types, be more flexible, be repairable in orbit, and cost less.We just got to visit Axiom Space and I am one of the only civilians to try on this suit… if you want to see that, watch our longer episode!

Whats This Robot Doing In Grain Bins? Cleo Abram 2024-07-15 | This adorable robot is inside a grain bin! And it’s helping save farmers’ lives. Here’s how this works...After grain on a farm is harvested - think barley, corn, wheat - it gets stored in HUGE grain bins. When the grain is ready to be shipped off the farm, it gets pulled out through the bottom by a rotating blade. Sometimes farmers have to go in there to break up chunks that are stuck together and ensure it all flows smoothly. But that can be dangerous because the grain can act like quicksand.But this robot can do that task for them… I love this robot. I’m learning so much about farming tech.

Top 5 Farthest Things Humans Sent into Space Cleo Abram 2024-07-13 | Can you guess the top 5 FARTHEST OBJECTS humans have sent into space?Number 5 is 8.7 billion kilometers away. It's called New Horizons, launched in 2006 to explore Pluto and the Kuiper Belt.Number 4 is 16 billion km away, called Pioneer 11 and launched in 1973. It was the first spacecraft to visit Saturn! But now it’s signal can’t reach us anymore.Number 3 is 20 billion km away Pioneer 10. It was the first spacecraft to reach Jupiter!Number 2 is Voyager 2, it just overtook Pioneer 10 this year!And in first place…. We’re apes on a rock, sending little probes out into the universe, exploring more and more and there’s still SO MUCH left to explore!If you like optimistic science and tech stories follow for more.#shorts #space #animation #stem #education #tech
How Does Hearing Work? Cleo Abram 2024-07-11 | Here's how your ears actually work. Really, you are hearing electrical signals made from ripples in liquid made from bones vibrating made from pressure waves… !!!!Clever technology can help this process for people: Most hearing aids work by amplifying those waves right before they enter your ear. Some newer ones use machine learning to help decide which waves to amplify - and then those waves become vibrations which become ripples which become electrical signals which become SOUND TO YOUR BRAIN.

Why Does It Get Harder To Have Kids? Cleo Abram 2024-07-05 | Your sex ed class skipped a lot of important stuff.You might’ve learned women are born with all the eggs they’re ever going to have - roughly 1 MILLION. But around 10,000 die every month during childhood, so most of us reach puberty with roughly ~300,000 eggs. Then each month, we release one while another 1,000 die. So over time there is this big decline in total quantity of eggs and that can be a big issue.But another issue is how many of those eggs have 23 chromosomes. This is called “egg quality." Most of the time, having any other number of chromosomes means the resulting embryo never implants or grows. But you only release one egg a month, and as you get older, the chances that egg doesn’t have 23 chromosomes goes up. So scientists found it’s possible to remove eggs, freeze them, and then unfreeze them to use later! Real life cryosleep!But there are some big issues...Watch our longer video to learn about egg freezing and subscribe here for more optimistic science and tech stories.#Shorts #science #tech #animation #stemeducation

Why Do Humans Smash Protons? Cleo Abram 2024-06-28 | At the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland, thousands of scientists are spending billions of dollars to smash protons together in a big underground tunnel. But… WHY? When protons collide, we get a glimpse at what might have happened close to the start of our universe. That's because these collisions release an enormous amount of energy for how small protons are. But we know that energy and mass are related - so when these protons collide at incredibly fast speeds, that energy can turn into physical mass. Which is crazy! And even crazier: If the energy is high enough, it can turn into mysterious or unknown particles... Scientists do this to try to understand some of the biggest questions, like “what is the universe made of?”, “where did it come from?” and “how did we get here?”.If you want to learn more, check out our longer episode AT CERN!

Whats The Smallest You Can See? Cleo Abram 2024-06-23 | How small can you see? And how does tech help us see as small as individual atoms?The smallest YOU can see with your eyes is roughly ten thousand times smaller than a meter. Things much smaller than that don’t reflect enough light for our eyes to register. So, people invented the optical microscope, which let us see things down to ten millionths of a meter by shining light and using lenses magnify the image. But past that, objects get smaller than the wavelength of visible light. So we need something even smaller to take a picture, like firing beams of electrons and measuring how they get reflected or transmitted. There’s SO MUCH of the world that we can’t see with our eyes but we can see with technology!If you like optimistic science like this, subscribe for more of our show Huge If True.#shorts #animation #small #microscope #tech #science
How Small Is A Proton, Really? Cleo Abram 2024-06-20 | You already know that atoms and the particles inside them are tiny. But they are SO MUCH SMALLER than most people think... Look at a single strand of your hair. Now imagine that hair is as big across as the entire EARTH is wide. The size of a single cell inside your hair would be like the distance from Paris to Rome. A protein inside that cell would be like 6 soccer fields across. An atom inside that protein would be like one school bus across. The nucleus at the center of that atom would be like the width of a grain of rice. And the protons within that nucleus? They’d be like grains of salt.So, a proton compared to the WIDTH OF YOUR HAIR is like a grain of salt compared to the ENTIRE EARTH.And protons are what scientists are send flying around at nearly the speed of light to smash into each other inside particle colliders… like the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. It’s incredible we can do this. As humans, we only experience a tiny slice of the full scale of reality.

Why Do People Freeze Eggs? Cleo Abram 2024-06-14 | I just had a surgery where they removed eggs from my body.

Why Dont We Have Cryosleep Yet? Cleo Abram 2024-06-12 | Why don’t we have cryosleep yet? You know, freezing people and waking them up later. Turns out, the problem is WATER.Our bodies are filled with water. But when water freezes, it expands and forms sharp crystals. If we froze you right now, those ice crystals would shred ya to bits from the inside! To freeze you without shredding you, we’d need to replace most of that water with special antifreeze - and cool it all down quickly and evenly, turning that antifreeze mixture solid in a process called “vitrification," end effectively pausing your body in time.But unfortunately, you’re the wrong shape. Right now you’d either end up full of warm toxic antifreeze, or full of frozen deadly crystals. The math just doesn't work yet. But the math DOES work for tiny cells like human eggs and embryos.

How Do They Make Particles Hit Each Other? Cleo Abram 2024-06-03 | On the border between France and Switzerland is the biggest science experiment ever built. It’s a tunnel, over 100 meters underground and 27 kilometers long. Inside that tunnel, scientists put a long blue tube… and inside that tube, they put two pipes that they keep colder and emptier than outer space… and down those pipes, they fire particles smaller than atoms… in opposite directions, pushing them faster and faster until, when they’re almost the speed of light, they finally smash together!But my question was… how do they get them to actually hit each other??

AI vs Doctors Competition (RESULTS) Cleo Abram 2024-05-31 | Researchers just tested a bunch of AI models against a bunch of doctors. Here's who won... There were 4 groups: Large language models, groups of expert eye doctors, eye doctors in training, and unspecialized junior doctors. Everyone had to answer 87 questions from a standard test that doctors in the UK need to pass before becoming an eye specialist. Here's how they each did.The intention of this study is NOT to see if any AI tool can replace any doctors. This study just showed that in this one test, one model’s performance was almost as good as experts. We could imagine a world where more generalized doctors who don’t have easy access to a specialist could ask an AI for a second opinion or help make a referral or even help with a diagnosis. It’s one way researchers are exploring how to improve medical care for more people.If you like optimistic science and tech stories, subscribe for more of our show Huge If True.If you want to read the full study, search this: DOI:10.1371/journal.pdig.0000341#science #sciencefacts #education #study

The Real Reason You Saw These Lights Cleo Abram 2024-05-17 | The reason you’re seeing pictures of colorful lights in the sky right now is because our planet just went through the biggest solar storm in more than 20 years! Here's what's going on.The sun often spews out super hot gas filled with charged particles. Luckily, Earth’s magnetic field protects us from them! But they can interact with gasses in our atmosphere, giving those molecules extra energy or “exciting” them - and as they relax back to their natural energy state, they release photons in different wavelengths or colors.THAT’s what we see. We call it the aurora borealis, or Northern lights.You can actually tell WHICH gas molecules got excited by the color!We're seeing the lights in way more places right now because we went through a big solar storm - but we were expecting it! Our Sun goes through cycles of about 11 years and we’re approaching another maximum right now.These lights are a beautiful reminder of how Earth’s magnetic field protects us and allows life to prosper, and it’s so cool that more people got to see it.If you like optimistic science and tech stories follow for more!#northernlights #aurora #space #auroraborealis #sciencefacts
