👁Whoever builds something here will be rich beyond measure
🧠Fabio Pacucci
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣Since the 1950s, governments, companies, and researchers have been planting flags among the stars. But while it might seem like there's plenty of room in space, some pieces of celestial real estate are more valuable than others. As far as human space exploration is concerned, Lagrange points may be the most important places in our solar system. So what exactly are they? Fabio Pacucci explains.

👁Why your phone battery gets worse over time
🧠George Zaidan
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣Almost all batteries, even single-use batteries, are theoretically rechargeable. That's because the metals and other chemicals are still there in the battery. So chemically speaking, a dead battery is actually not that different from a fresh one. Then why do batteries die in the first place? And what should you do with them once they're spent? George Zaidan digs into the science of batteries. [Directed by Luisa Holanda, narrated by George Zaidan, music by Gabriel Maia].

👁Food expiration dates don't mean what you think
🧠Carolyn Beans
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣Countries around the world waste huge amounts of food every year: roughly a fifth of food items in the US are tossed because consumers aren't sure how to interpret expiration labels. But most groceries are still perfectly safe to eat past their expiration dates. If the dates on our food don't tell us that something's gone bad, what do they tell us? Carolyn Beans shares how to prevent food waste. [Directed by Anton Bogaty, narrated by Alexandra Panzer, music by Salil Bhayani, cAMP Studio].

👁The climate crisis is expensive -- here's who should pay for it
🧠Avinash Persaud
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣The developing world is most affected by climate change but has contributed the least to the problem. Meanwhile, rich countries historically exacerbated the environmental crisis and grew wealthy as a result -- but aren't helping developing countries build climate resilience, which is now more crucial than ever to slowing climate change everywhere. Economist Avinash Persaud has an ambitious proposal to reimagine that dynamic: the Bridgetown Initiative, a groundbreaking vision of how rich countries can catalyze climate mitigation, contribute to loss and damages and help build a sustainable future for all.

👁The magic of a creative career
🧠Michael Sheen
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣The city of Port Talbot in South Wales is known for a few things: a steel mill, a proudly working class population and a passionate commitment to the arts that produced Hollywood superstars Richard Burton and Anthony Hopkins. In this sweet, personal talk, actor Michael Sheen shares how he was also able to take advantage of all the city had to offer, why he's worried that a change in approach to arts education means that kids now don't get the same kind of chances -- and the steps he's taking to ensure that creative up-and-comers get the support and access they deserve.

👁Why is this black square famous?
🧠Allison Leigh
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣In 1915, an exhibition of radical artworks opened in Russia. Many pieces pushed the boundaries of form and style, but one was particularly controversial: Kazimir Malevich's "Black Square." Criticized as simple and uninspired, Malevich's work is more complicated than it first appears— and may not be a painting of a black square at all. Allison Leigh digs into the art style known as Suprematism. [Directed by Alexia Roider, Zedem Media, narrated by Addison Anderson].
