is it just me or does it sound like they changed the intro music?
I’m glad I get to watch these lives!
thank you acellus for all the opportunities you give us! i love the science lives
I didn’t know that about LED’s?
the kit looks so cool !!
science live is wonderful
Great live today always excited for the next one!
A key inventor is someone whose specificly invention fundamentally shifts technology or society, like Edison with the light bulb both terms describe impactful creators, but “inventioneer”
Students should be able to see what’s needed for high school credits through the app and not just through the website. It would make it way better.
Happy Holidays Acellus!
I have a joke, did you know you can buy iron and carbon for just 1 alloy, what a steal.
science Live teaches me so munch.
Can’t wait for the new episode!
i LOVE SCIENCE LIVE
Science Live teaches me so much!
Science live is my favorite part of the week!
I always look forward to science live!
nice to know that sweat is healthy
science live is awesome!!
I really enjoy these lives
How do i decide what to invent?
Science live is amazing and so interesting!!!
Be able to use mold as a way to shield from radiation really does seem like an incredible solution and it makes me wonder what would be able to live only off of that mold.
The kit looks so cool!
loved this! thank you for sharing with us!
Inventing is something I would love to do when I get older, do you think I can do it? Or is it to hard?
R51 is awesome
Thank you for the science live. I wonder what the next one will be about
Are people making a light bulb brighter than the LED.
I wonder if the sweat medical technology would be more expensive than the current tests
I loved this episode! It truly showed me a bunch!
Watching how the mold reacted to the radiation was an interesting observation. Great Science Live!
i love the creativity and how they explain everything
It’s very fascinating on that our sweat could give us some equal information same as blood work results
Very informative video.
I have a dream, and it is to invent the quantum radio a radio that can send audio in an instant through space using quantum entanglement.
That was so interesting! I want to learn more about radio waves.
The Scientists found out that mold grows about 20 percent faster in space. This is because all of the hi amounts of radiation because space has a lot more of radiation than earth does. The scientists think that the mold uses the radiation as food and that’s why it grows that way.
The radiation resistant mold is like insane. Think of the industry that would come out of that like radiation resistant, mold farms, and even like the stories of how engineers would figure out how to add that into spaceships would be like mind blowing.
To the Acellus graduate going to North Georgia, Congratulations!!! As for Keystone inventors, they make our world a better place.
That’s interesting that mold basically eats radiation! That’s super cool!
I had no idea how radio waves were created. It’s fascinating to learn about them. The kit is a great idea
Science Live teaches me so much!
science lives are so fun to watch I loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved Science Live! It was interesting learning about how mold can thrive on radiation!
watching from TN
Science live is always so fun to watch!
I would love to take my dog Bucky to Mars!
This episode was great – I learned (about radio waves) and I laughed (mold pet)! Thanks.
I watch Science live as a family & we love learning.
Tobias always has the coolest topics!
I never knew LED meant that. Thanks for sharing!
When does R51 get his own show?
I really like when Science L!VE has experiments they are so interesting and they are what make this science live! I’m interested in the next episode, I wonder how they made it turn off. Thanks~
hi from tennesee
I loved this science live!
I enjoy watching science lives they are the best.
I Learn so much from science live!
science live is super inspirational!
Science live is so educational!
Comment have you ever invented something?
So cool!!
What would happen if you put one big chunk of foil instead of a bunch of little foil balls?
it was pretty nice learning about the frogs and the mold
This is the highlight of my day!
We use LED lights for so much now the thing about it was spot on! We use them for cars and even decorations.
Another cool live! Keep up the good work!
This was a fun live!
Thank, you all for another episode of Science Live.
How could the radiation eating mold help clean up our nuclear waste? Would it be able to eat it all or would there be parts it couldn’t?
Mold is really incredible!
I liked learning about the radio.
Science live has been teaching me so much ever since I started !
my first science live, didn’t dissapoint !
The new kits are exciting! I always enjoy these Science Lives.
I always enjoy watching Sciance Live and learn so many cool things!
Can’t wait for the new kit
Amazing stream! Can’t wait to learn more later!
This weeks science live was great!
I love this so much
The invisible light is so interesting!
Comment* Honestly, so much of this could be so helpful for so many people when they need it! Its awesomeeeee!
Since mold does grow faster in those areas, and is a health hazard to us, could it have been the reason the area became radiated in the first place? Or can it grow there?
Love these live science videos. I enjoy learning all these new things!
It’s interesting to know that some animals can adapt to high radiation given how dangerous it is.
Science live is the best!
Did Marconi invent anything helse that we still use today.😄
I think inventioneering is so cool
Thank you for a great Science LIVE this week!
I never knew that LEDs were a thing in the 70s.
This live was so interesting! I love when the topics include space.
Thank you! See you next time!!
I loved learning about the radio.
I actually learn more watching these episodes.
What is the stuff inside the radiation that can harm you?
could black mold be used for radiation cleanup
Its crazy that inventors think so outside of the box.
How did he come up with the idea of using an empty lighter? thats smart
Science Live always surprises me!
It is really cool that someone is researching to learn more about our health through our sweat.
I always laugh when Area-51 comes up at the end.
I really enjoyed this one.
Hello from North Carolina
Science Live is amazing!
Our family loves watching together!
We just take radio for granted, too. What Hertz did with his experiment in sending the first detected radio wave was really cool! Also, thank you Dr. Billings for the demonstration!
Can electricity start a fire?
science live is amazing
I use LED lights for everything!!!
Science live teaches me so much!
AMAZING!!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
i wonder if we can make new colors of lights
Science live is so fun.
i love science live always teaches me something new
Science Live teaches me so much!
wow that’s crazy I can’t wait to tell all my friends and family about radio waves
Science live teaches me new and exciting things every week! Thank you!
Diods are very different. Electricity flow being trigged by radio waves is very unexpected.
I learned about radio waves.
How much electricity does it take to power a house?
So do you think the mold that eats radioactive material could be us d to grow food on Mars?
Cool experiment!
I love learning new things specially about science!
Can’t wait for next weeks science live!
Science Live is always so educational and entertaining!
I’m loving these episodes
science live is so cool to watch
radiation change the way your body behave like the frogs whcich become dark in order to deal which radiechan . Dionds are diferrents.
I always wonder how they film these!
The led story was cool.
I would take my dog with me.
How did Maxwell discover radio waves.
Science live is so amazing !!
I heard black mold was bad for your lungs.
What a bright idea he had 🙂
I always look forward to Wednesdays! So cool learning about LED and R51!
I really like Science live!!!
never knew how radios worked tell now
Science live has taught me so much!!!
Wow, I never knew that LED lights were first seen as a red light in calculator and digital clocks, I wonder how long it took for them to discover how to produce other colors.
What you showed today was interesting, it is cool that you can put all of that together then just click the button on the lighter and the LED light turns on. Inventors should get more light shined on them as they take their time to invent interesting and useful things.
Inventioneering is very important for our progression of society.
These science lives be long but i learn something new every time
How does the black frog not die in the radiation?
Never expected to find myself interested in science that much. it taught me a lot.
R51 is so funny and makes science fun
Watching from Georgia!
When will the coherers be available on the store?
I love Science Live so much!
I love science live so much!
Never knew that mold could protect astronauts from radiation!!
These videos are enjoyable to watch.
I LOVE WATCHING SCIENCE LIVE
OMG these are so Amazing
science live teaches me so much cool stuff
I love science live!!!
thanks sooooo much for consistently doing this show we really love and appreciate it
(btw could you plz possibly do an episode on neurology, if you can’t thx anyway (; )
-Halo
What was it like to be a scientist
I love how Acellus lets us take courses that can cater to our future plans 🙂
Thank for this amazing program. It really is fascinating!
What year was the radio made?
I think being a inventioneear, is something essential, because creating and discovering new thing is the art of life.
hi here from Ohio
I love this so much I learn so much with these videos
Science live is so cool!
Thank you for doing Science Live!
This was a great science live! 🙂 🙂
Hi here from Ohio
We loved the airport joke at the beginning! It is cool that we are looking at sweat to tell us about our health due to technology. Another great episode
I had no idea mold could block radiation or that it could be grown in space and used for protection for the astronauts!
Science Live is always very interesting
I really love it ¡¡¡¡
Wow, that is so cool I wonder how they can know how it can tell you about what’s going on just through sweat, that’s so cool.
My favorite part of science live are the Breakthrough Moments in Science with Tobias!
My favorite frog is a tree frog what is your favorite frog?
love r51!
I like science live so much.
