LabX

Destroy Boys x LabX Out Loud is officially live. This collaboration blends a full live performance with conversations about black holes, cosmic “reverb,” and the strange physics hidden inside sound itself. Watch the full session here: ow.ly/ljc150Z1Qg0

This week’s Friday Findings: A PNAS study suggests the Nile may have helped build an ancient empire by quietly shifting into a more stable, fertile river system. Another PNAS study uses Moon samples to challenge how Earth got its water. And parasites? They’re swapping genes.

We put science in the room with Destroy Boys… and didn’t tell you what would happen. Find out tomorrow on YouTube.

Boba fails with cold water: It's like glue, but not in a good way. Physics lesson: heat activates molecules! Watch the full episode on YouTube. #Boba #ScienceExperiment #Fail #KitchenHacks #YouTube

Science experiment in the kitchen! Making perfect boba pearls by adjusting water temp. Watch the full episode on YouTube! #BobaTea #Chemistry #FoodScience #DIY #Recipe #KitchenHacks

Rubber’s secret strength (finally solved in PNAS) Apes showing us the messy roots of human behavior Orangutans testing a sky bridge in the wild This week’s Friday Findings is all about connection—and it gets weird.

🎉🍵 Happy National Bubble Tea Day!🥤💖 In case you missed it - we have a whole episode about the chemistry of making boba pearls that we think you'll love! Watch it here: ow.ly/1u2450YSBAw #BubbleTeaDay #CheersToBoba

We just mapped the universe in 3D… …and also learned you should turn off your lights for birds. This week’s Friday Findings: 🌌 Massive galaxy map 💡 Migration vs. city lights 🌿 Everglades water comeback Different scales. Same idea: small changes, big impact.

You can make boba from scratch—and it’s more hands-on than you’d think. We break it down step by step 👇 ow.ly/fJtC50YNTxj

This week in science: • Astronauts watched meteorites hit the moon in real time • A “300M-year-old octopus” turned out to be a nautilus • Emperor penguins are now endangered (with research including PNAS) Nature doesn’t do predictable. #FridayFindings

DIY boba experiment gone wild! What happens when you drop 50 balls into water? The texture is gooey, chewy, and… surprising. Watch the full episode on YouTube! #DIYBoba #FoodScience #Experiment #BobaLover #YouTube

This week’s Friday Findings: 🌕 Earthset from the Moon 🌊 A PNAS-backed rethink of Earth’s most powerful ocean current 🐜 And the most painful stings in the animal kingdom (deeply unsettling) Science is beautiful, chaotic, and occasionally out for revenge.

What gives boba its signature chew? 🧋 It’s all chemistry. We break it down in our latest episode → ow.ly/I2pG50YGw7N

Boba’s chewiness isn’t random — it’s chemistry. We break down what’s happening behind that texture in our latest episode 👇 ow.ly/CxFw50YECkL

Our AGDQ 2026 Science Block just got nominated for a @TheWebbyAwards 🏆 Now we’re going for the People’s Voice Award—and that’s all public voting. Takes 30 seconds: 👉 ow.ly/QrCG50YBL3Q Let’s get science the win. #WebbyAwards #AGDQ

Bees that read the room. Sci-fi that shows its work. And a glass of wine with a 2,000-year résumé. 🍷🐝🚀 This week’s Friday Findings is a little chaotic in the best way #FridayFindings #ScienceIsCool #HoneyBees #SciFiScience #WineHistory #STEM #LabX #PNAS #ScienceNews

Nature is getting a little… chaotic this week. It’s brutal, it’s weird, and it’s all very real. Which one are you not getting over? 👇
