🧠TED-Ed
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣As of 2020, the world's biggest lithium-ion battery is hooked up to the Southern California power grid and can provide enough power for about 250,000 homes. But it's actually not the biggest battery in the world: a pair of lakes are. How can lakes be a battery? Explore how inventors are rethinking what a battery can be, and how these surprising solutions could help us achieve a sustainable future.

👁Why do we, like, hesitate when we, um, speak?
🧠Lorenzo García-Amaya
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣For as long as we've had language, some people have tried to control it. And some of the most frequent targets of this communication regulation are the ums, ers, and likes that pepper our conversations. These linguistic fillers occur roughly 2 to 3 times per minute in natural speech. So are ums and uhs just a habit we can't break? Or is there more to them? Lorenzo García-Amaya investigates. [Directed by Yael Reisfeld, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Yael Reisfeld].

👁The "myth" of the boiling frog
🧠TED-Ed
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣Since 1850, global average temperatures have risen by 1 degree Celsius. That may not sound like a lot, but it is. Why? 1 degree is an average. Many places have already gotten much warmer and if average temperatures increase one more degree, the coldest nights in the Arctic might get 10 degrees warmer. So how did we get here? And what can be done? Explore the challenges of net zero emissions. [Written by Elizabeth Cox and George Zaidan, directed by Lisa LaBracio, narrated by Jack Cutmore-Scott, music by André Aires].

👁The unexpected math of origami
🧠Evan Zodl
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣Origami, which literally translates to "folding paper," is a Japanese practice dating back to at least the 17th century. In origami, a single, traditionally square sheet of paper can be transformed into almost any shape, purely by folding. The same simple concepts yield everything from a paper crane with about 20 steps, to a dragon with over 1,000 steps. Evan Zodl explores the ancient art form. [Directed by Charlotte Arene, narrated by Jack Cutmore-Scott].

👁What causes dandruff, and how do you get rid of it?
🧠Thomas L. Dawson
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣On top of our heads, there is a type of yeast that lives and dines on all of our scalps. Feasting constantly, it's in paradise. And in about half of the human population, its activity causes dandruff. So, why do some people have more dandruff than others? And how can it be treated? Thomas L. Dawson explores this head-scratching problem. [Directed by Artrake Studio, narrated by Addison Anderson].

👁The artist who won a Nobel Prize... in medicine
🧠Melanie E. Peffer
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣In the 1860s, scientists believed they were on the verge of uncovering the brain's biggest secret: how the brain's signals travel through the body. They believed these impulses travelled uninterrupted along a massive web of tissue. But soon, a young artist would cut down this hypothesis, and sketch a bold new vision of how our brains work. Melanie Peffer details the discoveries of Golgi and Cajal. [Directed by Artrake Studio, narrated by Bethany Cutmore-Scott].

👁Why didn't this 2,000 year old body decompose?
🧠Carolyn Marshall
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣It may not appear very lively six feet underground, but a single teaspoon of soil contains more organisms than there are human beings on the planet. From bacteria and algae to fungi and protozoa, soils are home to one quarter of Earth's biodiversity. And perhaps soil's most important inhabitants are its microbes. Carolyn Marshall digs into how soil's invisible helpers support all life on Earth. [Directed by Ivana Bošnjak and Thomas Johnson, narrated by Alexandra Panzer, music by Stephen LaRosa].

👁What if every satellite suddenly disappeared?
🧠Moriba Jah
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣What would happen if one day all of humanity's artificial satellites suddenly disappeared? Within hours, most of the planet's traffic would grind to a halt, the world economy would shut down, and most countries would declare a state of emergency. Even in the best-case scenario, our civilization would be set back by decades. So, what are the odds of this actually happening? Moriba Jah investigates.

👁The world's most dangerous fart
🧠Nick Caruso ve Dani Rabaiotti
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣For most humans, farts are a welcome relief, an embarrassing incident, or an opportunity for a gas-based gag. But for many other creatures, farts are no laughing matter. Deep in the bowels of the animal kingdom, farts can serve as tools of intimidation, acts of self-defense, and weapons of malodorous murder. Nick Caruso and Dani Rabaiotti dig into the funky and foul world of animal flatulence. [Directed by Avi Ofer, narrated by Alexandra Panzer, music by Jarrett Farkas].

👁Why bats don't get sick
🧠Arinjay Banerjee
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣Consider a bat that is infected with several deadly viruses, including ones that cause rabies, SARS, and Ebola. While this diagnosis would be lethal for other mammals, the winged wonder is totally unfazed, and may even spend the next 30 years living as if this were totally normal— because for bats, it is. So what's protecting bats from these dangerous infections? Arinjay Banerjee investigates. [Directed by Cabong Studios, narrated by Adrian Dannatt, music by Júlio Muzzi and Astrolábio Studio].

👁Who decides how long a second is?
🧠Şevval Naz Ertik
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣In 1967, researchers gathered to answer a long-running scientific question: just how long is a second? It might seem obvious at first. A second is the tick of a clock, the swing of a pendulum, the time it takes to count to one. But how precise are those measurements? And what is that length based on? John Kitching digs into how we scientifically define this fundamental unit of time. [Directed by Tjoff Koong, narrated by Addison Anderson].

👁How do personality tests work?
🧠Merve Emre
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣In 1942, a mother-daughter duo named Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers developed a questionnaire that classified people's personalities into 16 types. Called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI, it would go on to become one of the world's most widely-used personality tests. But do these tests actually reveal truths about personality? Merve Emre examines their design flaws. [Directed by Seoro Oh, narrated by Bethany Cutmore-Scott, music by Jellysound].
