The lab

Handle science, don’t just watch it.

Simulations, 3D models, animated diagrams: for every video topic, an experiment where you change a parameter and watch what happens.

3D render of Cas9 and its guide RNA on DNA, atoms as spheres on a light blue background

3D Launch the experiment

MedicineGene editing

CRISPR-Cas9, cutting DNA

The 3D animation from the video, replayable and hands-on: Cas9 looks for the PAM, opens the DNA, and cuts. Pause, hide parts, move them, then put everything back.

The space station above the Earth; behind it, the predicted paths of a thrown object, in colour, drift apart orbit after orbit

3D Launch the experiment

PhysicsOrbital mechanics

Where does an object dropped in space go?

An astronaut throws a bag or a CubeSat from the station: straight line, Clohessy-Wiltshire, Kepler, or a calculation with air and a flattened Earth — four ways to predict its path, which drift apart orbit after orbit.

A ray-traced black hole: its black shadow, circled by a thin ring of light, and the golden disc of gas whose far side appears bent up over the black hole

PhysicsGeneral relativity

General relativity, hands-on

Place masses on spacetime, launch particles, spin an orbit into a rosette, bend light around a black hole, compare clocks from the ground to GPS and watch a gravitational wave go by.

Computer scienceCellular automata

The Game of Life

An infinite grid, two states, a four-line rule: run the most famous constructions, from the glider to giant computers, and watch them live.

3D render of a superconducting quantum computer’s dilution refrigerator: gold-plated copper stages, cables and a glowing control signal travelling down to the chip

Inside a quantum computer

From cryostat to junction, open the machine, follow a signal and discover what every part does.

In every experiment

Explore, then understand.

Every experiment shares the same controls and the same fact sheet, from the Game of Life to molecular biology.

Variables
What you can change: speed, rule, direction, parts to hide or move.
Measurements
Quantities computed live, in their real units.
What is simplified
Every scene honestly lists what it rounds off or schematises.
Sources
Papers, databases and agencies: everything you need to check.
