Tobias, why are led lights so complicated
I learn so many new things with science live!
I love and enjoy watching these science lives.
Science live is always a blast to watch, there’s always something fascinating to learn.
I liked when Dr Tobias talked about red LEDs that were very bright. it’s cool that Nick predicted that there would be: green, yellow, blue, and even white LEDs.
Love when you have parents on talking about how successful this program is for their kids.
what are ultra sensitive micro fluidic devices made of?
Science live is so cool and fun!
Acellus is the best!
real therapeutic to watch right after you just did some exams
Thank you Roger Billings for teaching us so much about science and allowing us to experiment with our knowledge, and learning abilities! I enjoyed hearing about the coher “project”. I love science live!!
Love R-51s humor every time!!!
how much radioactive waste is in space?
Inventions are so cool. Learning how people invent things is really interesting to me.
How much energy does a LED require?
I love science its so cool!
I love Acellus!!!!!!
I always love R-51
This episode was really inspiring. Someday I hope to invent something myself.
Inventioneering is so cool!
Black mold thriving in Radiation is cool!
Mold as a pet. EWWWW!
what is a good first project for someone who wants to start inventing?
What is the difference between sonar and radar?
How do you know when an invention idea is worth pursuing.
Eating healthier is important I agree
The experiment was so cool
How was the magnetic field around Earth made?
R-51 is the beeeeeeest!!!
I love this I always learn some thing new!
I ❤ acellus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Science Live is super inspirational, i love it and I’m so happy you guys cam up with it! R – 51 is awesome!! #”When life gives you lemons you make fireflies!”
I loved Dr. Roger Billings’ experiment on electricity.
I always learn so much on science live!
R-51 is the beeeeeest!😂
That experiment was so cool to watch
I want to be an inventor some day!
How does the spark turn it on
Science is the BEST!
Learning about process behind the process of invention is so interesting!
Most of my family is in healthcare. That’s part of the reason I like science so much.
wow that experiment is so cool 😎 I never thought about that
This makes me want to invent something!
Another great video guys. I’m definitely going to have to try to make that invention, it was super cool.
How long ago was Acellus created?
This inspired me so much! Thank you
love science lives and how easy it is to understand things !!!!
These inventions are cool
Nick was a really smart guy! He knew his invention would change the world! Years later even our Christmas lights are LED!
Inventions do so much good for the people of the world!
This Science Live was just perfect! People really should think through their study plans to achieve their goals, whether that be high school graduation or college acceptance.
R51 is so funny lol
I really love animals and I really liked learning about the black frogs and how they have changed to be able to live where there is a lot of radiation.
I really enjoy the demonstrations.
I want to make something cool like that! My mom is always afraid I’ll blow up our house. I did make a mini flamethrower that I tried out with her supervision. It helped melt some snow in our backyard.
Awesome experiment!
What is the best way to decide what career path you should choose?
Thank you for an inspirational science live!
Hi, I loved learning about inventioneering. Thank you for the science live.
I like how they explain about Radiation and how it can change your DNA , and your body. I also thought that it was quite interesting about how the melanin in the black frog changed when it came in contact with nuclear radiation. I also thought that the mold was pretty cool and didn’t expect it to survive the radiation and it grew 20% faster and eats the radiation. I also enjoyed learning about LEDS and the diode. My personal favorite was learning about running wires for morse code, and the concept of radio waves the invention itself was overall was interesting and my favorite part of the video.
LEDs (Light-Emitting Diodes) function through a process called electroluminescence,
where light is emitted when an electric current passes through a semiconductor material.
At the core of an LED is a p-n junction,
formed by joining p-type and n-type semiconductors.
When current flows across this junction,
electrons from the n-side recombine with electron holes from the p-side,
releasing energy in the form of photons—particles of light.
Because of their efficiency, durability,
and compact size, LEDs have become the preferred choice over incandescent and fluorescent lighting in many applications.
Thanks! From Tennessee
I LOVE R51!
I thought this Episode was a great learning experience. Each episode is even more epic than the last. And obviously no one can forget R-51 he is unforgettable he is a funny scientist. Happy Holidays from Michigan 🇺🇸 USA! Hope you all have a great Holiday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Merry Christmas! DRB & LPM
❤️🔥🖤❤️🔥🖤❤️🔥🖤❤️🔥🖤❤️🔥
I will invent something one day!
Thank you for creating this wonderful live!
Science live really amazes me
Healthcare inventions are extremely important and will continue to be for ever. Healthcare will always be needed so to keep up and invent better instruments is crucial.
Super awesome experiment.
It’s cool to know Einstein had his inspirations too.
Dr. Tobias’ information on LED lighting was very intriguing! I love to see history and science combined!
Hello from Fl
I am saving up for that gadget experiment! Can’t wait to try it over and over again.
That experiment was awesome to watch.
R-51 is so hilarious! These videos always inspire me.
R51 is so funny
THE SCIENC LIVE IS AMAZING!!!!!!
my favorite part Is when Dr. John talked about the mold and how it grew faster in the radiation and in space.
i’m surprised you can use a spark and it connects the foil balls.
R 51 is so funny! He always thinks he invented something when it was already invented.
LOVE R51 HE SO FUNNY.
I love Science Live!
My favorite is area 51!
Comment
Have you ever invented something by accident?
Science live is always so interesting!
I love you guys!
Science live is always so enjoyable.
How close are these sweat-sensing wearables to being commercially available for everyday health monitoring?
R-51 is soo funny!
This was so much fun to watch.
It’s so cool how mold can survive in radiation and grow even better.
Why was the frog black?
It’s really cool that black mold can grow faster in radiation and possibly help create a sustainable environment on Mars.
so many exciting things to watch. has gotten me interested in “magic”
I like the experiment that R51 did because it really helped me understand how the radio waves were working through the cord
Great segment Tobias!
I have a great time watching these science lives!
These lectures are very interesting.
I love these science lives!
R 51 is so funny
I want to be a doctor when I grow up.
R-51 you really are your own crazy.
The r51 part was funny
Thank you for always teaching us
I think that it is strange how mold eats radiation and grows faster in it.
Interesting discovery in LED lights . R51 is hilarious!!
I am an aspiring Keystone Inventor!
So cool watching this every week.
Coolest experiment I’ve seen yet!
Dr. Roger Billings, I hate mold but I found this live to be very interesting! I didn’t know that mold can grow 20% faster in copious radiation.
My favorite setting on my LED lights are probably blue!
that is so insane
Very cool, Thank you!
This was so fun to watch!!!
I like it when Dr. B goes into Area 51. Does he and R51 ever go in there together at the same time?
Thanks for teaching us about the coherer and the experiment was cool!
Science Live is so interesting!
This episode was really fun!
I think it’s crazy how we’ve come so far to where we are now testing sweat and possibly not needing our blood to be tested.
I love when they show us new experiment every week.
How much charge do you need for the neutrons and electrons to produce energy for the LED to work?
when will r 51 be on the science live not just the end the whole science live
I always like hearing about the new inventions
How do keystone inventors come up with ideas that help lots of other inventions or systems work better?
Science LIVE is better than I expected it to be.
Science Live is my favorite.
That’s cool and funny!!
My favorite part was when Dr. John talked about the nuclear mold that could be used to protect astronauts.
Dr roger billings is the goat when it comes to science lol
thank you for this awesome science live!
That was cool!!
Cant wait for it to appear in the store.
I remember learning about Chernobyl in 6th grade and it was very interesting. I even read a few books on it!
thank you acellus
I wonder how they created these advanced microfluidic devices to measure our sweat? That’s amazing technology.
Give me more science live
I am surprised to see them bringing mold into space because I was always taught it was detrimental to our health.
I cant wait for the kit to come out!
You always learn something each week
That experiment was really cool! Cant wait to learn more
Dr. Billings always does so great on these videos. So interesting to watch
Dr. John talked about radiation and its consequences. Joshua showed how we can make the graduation plan. Roger Billings and Pajet talked about Heinrich Hertz who was the first to produce and detect radio waves in the laboratory. They also talked about Édouard Branly who invented the Coherer. Roger Billings went to Área 51 to make experiments. A very striking phrase in this Science Live was “Keystone Inventor – often called an “inventioneer” is the visionary who integrates prior discoveries and inventions, making them practical, scalable, and commercially viable for society”.
That experiment was so cool to watch.
HOW many LEDs are in a iPhone?
Thanks for doing all of this, I really learn a lot from these.
r 51 you crack me up
How does inventing work with health care?
I love the R-51 addition to the show today. It keeps it interesting and fun!
Inventing new health inventions are so important for everyone it’s so amazing what technology can do!
That was super neat to watch! Also, Merry Christmas!
I liked this live from last week. Excited to watch tonight.
Personally I would have done a hawk for the pet I bring to mars so I could have it scout the landscape for me.
I love Acellus.
Wow Morse code is incredible.
I would love to travel to Mars!!
I had so much fun during this science live
This was cool to watch.
Science live makes me keep on dreaming. Seeing all these experiments and listening to other’s stories inspire me to do better.
I love how science live teaches you more than just science and sometimes even life.
Could you make a class teaching circuits
The way healthcare and technology has developed over the years is incredible.
I love learning about science!
I heard of that place on Youtube, and man that is the biggest explosion I’ve ever seen.
That experiment was so cool to watch.
I liked watching Science Live experiment’s and jokes it fun to watch!
I liked the frogs with radiation and without radiation
I loved all the talks tonight and the experiment.
I enjoy learning about science.
Do you think this new study of sweat can change the lives of those who suffer with Hyperhydrosis?
is tin foil a conductor?
Could the reason the coherer works with radio waves and sparks be that it effects the Electromagnetic field, creating a wave to which makes the ions go in one direction, allowing it to conduct electricity?
I’m so excited for this video
how do certain lights give off more heat than others
I love the cartoon at the end of the session. R 51 is a great inventor!
That experiment was so cool to watch.
