Rose Eveleth explains everything you need to know about these noisy insects, admitting that there's still some things we just don't understand.

👁How supercharged plants could slow climate change
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English

👣Plants are amazing machines -- for millions of years, they've taken carbon dioxide out of the air and stored it underground, keeping a crucial check on the global climate. Plant geneticist Joanne Chory is working to amplify this special ability: with her colleagues at the Salk Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology Laboratory, she's creating plants that can store more carbon, deeper underground, for hundreds of years. Learn more about how these supercharged plants could help slow climate change. (This ambitious plan is a part of the Audacious Project, TED's initiative to inspire and fund global change.)

👁Will there ever be a mile-high skyscraper? - Stefan Al

🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👁The \"dementia village\" that's redefining elder care
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣How would you prefer to spend the last years of your life: in a sterile, hospital-like institution or in a village with a supermarket, pub, theater and park within easy walking distance? The answer seems obvious now, but when Yvonne van Amerongen helped develop the groundbreaking Hogeweyk dementia care center in Amsterdam 25 years ago, it was seen as a risky break from tradition. Journey with van Amerongen to Hogeweyk and get a glimpse at what a reimagined nursing home based on freedom, meaning and social life could look like.

👁\"Good\" and \"bad\" are incomplete stories we tell ourselves
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Heather Lanier's daughter Fiona has Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, a genetic condition that results in developmental delays -- but that doesn't make her tragic, angelic or any of the other stereotypes about kids like her. In this talk about the beautiful, complicated, joyful and hard journey of raising a rare girl, Lanier questions our assumptions about what makes a life \"good\" or \"bad,\" challenging us to stop fixating on solutions for whatever we deem not normal, and instead to take life as it comes.

👁 Why is this painting so shocking? - Iseult Gillespie

🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English
👣 In 1937, in one of the worst civilian casualties of the Spanish Civil War, Fascist forces bombed the village of Guernica in Northern Spain. For Pablo Picasso, the tragedy sparked a frenzied period of work in which he produced a massive anti-war mural, titled "Guernica." How can we make sense of this overwhelming image, and what makes it a masterpiece of anti-war art? Iseult Gillespie investigates.

👁Can we cure genetic diseases by rewriting DNA?
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English

👣In a story of scientific discovery, chemical biologist David R. Liu shares a breakthrough: his lab's development of base editors that can rewrite DNA. This crucial step in genome editing takes the promise of CRISPR to the next level: if CRISPR proteins are molecular scissors, programmed to cut specific DNA sequences, then base editors are pencils, capable of directly rewriting one DNA letter into another. Learn more about how these molecular machines work -- and their potential to treat or even cure genetic diseases.

👁We don't \"move on\" from grief. We move forward with it

👁Can a black hole be destroyed? - Fabio Pacucci

🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English
👣Black holes are among the most destructive objects in the universe.

By some accounts, the universe may eventually consist entirely of black holes. But is there any way to destroy a black hole? Fabio Pacucci digs into the possibility. [Directed by Provincia Studio, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Stephen LaRosa].

👁Dark matter: The matter we can't see - James Gillies

🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English
👣The Greeks had a simple and elegant formula for the universe: just earth, fire, wind, and water. Turns out there's more to it than that -- a lot more. Visible matter (and that goes beyond the four Greek elements) comprises only 4% of the universe. CERN scientist James Gillies tells us what accounts for the remaining 96% (dark matter and dark energy) and how we might go about detecting it.

🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👁How doctors can help low-income patients (and still make a profit)
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Modern American health care is defined by its high costs, high overhead and inaccessibility -- especially for low-income patients. What if we could redesign the system to serve the poor and still have doctors make money? In an eye-opening (and surprisingly funny) talk, physician P.J. Parmar shares the story of the clinic he founded in Colorado, where he serves only resettled refugees who mostly use Medicaid, and makes the business case for a fresh take on medical service.
