The International Space Station has been home to humans for over 25 years. And over the decades, those humans have helped scientists on the ground run a bunch of nifty science experiments in an environment you just can't replicate down here on Earth's surface. What happens to moss in the vacuum of space? What happens to spiderwebs in microgravity? What happens to a burning source of fuel? All this and more in this SciShow List Show.

The World's Largest Emerald Shouldn't Exist

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 18:40:09 -0700

Subscribe to the SciShow Rocks Box to receive your own Emerald here! https://complexly.info/rocksbox

We know gemstones are beautiful and highly desirable. But there's one specific gem that's been fought over for decades, and it even has a restraining order filed on it. This is the story of the Bahia emerald, its unlikely legal battle, and the strange geology that lets it exist in the first place.

Hosted by: Reid Reimers (he/him)

Correction:
0:51 Bahia is generally pronounced without the h and we get that wrong several times throughout the video. Sorry about that!

Experience the absolute peak of late-night comfort food at Gazela, an iconic, buzzing, no-frills snack bar that is a legendary staple of Porto’s food scene. While famous for its unique hot dogs and traditional Portuguese sandwiches, the true heavyweight here is their infamous Francesinha. Packed like a meat-filled Pandora’s box with fresh sausage, linguiça, steak, mortadella, ham, and melted cheese, this pressed sandwich is built to be eaten piping hot and constantly smothered in its signature rich, savory sauce. It's an intense, peppery, and deeply satisfying "drinking dish" that perfectly captures the raw, visceral energy of Porto’s ultimate comfort food traditions.

This Legendary Porto Restaurant Is a Masterclass in Tradition

Thu, 21 May 2026 21:00:09 -0700

Discover Adega São Nicolau, a waterfront institution that stands as a true flagship for traditional Porto cuisine. The kitchen delivers a masterclass in Portuguese soul food, serving up ultra-fresh grilled sea bass and their legendary fried octopus fillets, a perfectly crispy, tender dish that the host notes is the historical blueprint for Japanese tempura. The feast balances heritage and intensity, pairing deep classics like Tripas à moda do Porto with a decadent Pudim Rei dessert made with pork fat, egg yolk, and port wine that literally melts in your mouth. It’s a bold, visceral culinary journey that captures the raw energy and rich history of Porto's finest dining rooms.
