About

Science is a bottomless well of some of the most amazing things this universe has to offer. There is so much amazing science and engineering that gets done, but most often the only ones who get to experience it first hand are those in expensive labs in universities. This channel aims to explore as much of fields of science and engineering as possible by showing real experiments and research being done in a fun and accessible way. While the goal is to show that even very hard science can be done in a DIY way, some projects will use some of the fancier toys that while less accessible, opens a broader range of projects that can be done. We cover everything from genetic engineering and tissue culture, to nuclear physics, to machine engineering, to chemical synthesis and more.

Video Description

Dye lasers are amazing because they are a high power source of laser light in essentially any color. And best of all you can switch colors in as long as it takes to change the liquid. Today we explore how they're made, how they work, and how a laser made of garbage could be the secret to making a meat laser.
