How to watch TED Live

TED Live doesn’t require finding a good seat in the auditorium. With a TED Live membership, you can watch TED2013 and TEDGlobal 2013 from the comfort of your home, share it with your classmates or screen it with your co-workers in the office. In other words, there is no one way to watch. You can grab some friends and gather around a lap...

Kristin Poinar: What's hidden under the Greenland ice sheet?

The Greenland ice sheet is massive, mysterious -- and melting. Using advanced technology, scientists are revealing its secrets for the first time, and what they've found is amazing: hidden under the ice sheet is a vast aquifer that holds a Lake Tahoe-sized volume of water from the summer melt. Does this water stay there, or does it find its way ...

Zeynep Tufekci: We're building a dystopia just to make people click on ads

We're building an artificial intelligence-powered dystopia, one click at a time, says techno-sociologist Zeynep Tufekci. In an eye-opening talk, she details how the same algorithms companies like Facebook, Google and Amazon use to get you to click on ads are also used to organize your access to political and social information. And the machines ...

Dylan Marron: Empathy is not endorsement

Digital creator Dylan Marron has racked up millions of views for projects like "Every Single Word" and "Sitting in Bathrooms With Trans People" -- but he's found that the flip side of success online is internet hate. Over time, he's developed an unexpected coping mechanism: calling the people who leave him insensitive comments and asking a simpl...

Susan Emmett: This simple test can help kids hear better

Children who live in rural areas can have a hard time getting to the doctor -- much less to an audiologist's clinic for expensive, complex tests to check their hearing. The result for too many kids is hearing loss caused by ear infections and other curable or preventable problems. That's why ear surgeon and TED Fellow Susan Emmett is working wit...

Cameras that draw comics, diagnose eye prescriptions and more: Q&A with Ramesh Raskar

At TEDGlobal2012, Ramesh Raskar demonstrated his remarkable femtosecond camera, which can image a light-pulse as it travels through an object, or potentially see around corners. But Raskar's projects go far beyond even that. After the talk, in a brief Q&A with host Bruno Giussani (above) he introduced NETRA, a simple attachment for a smar...

Dan Knights: How we study the microbes living in your gut

There are about a hundred trillion microbes living inside your gut -- protecting you from infection, aiding digestion and regulating your immune system.

Further reading (and listening) on the shrinking boundary between humans and computers

What can scientists learn from dolphins playing whack-a-mole?

By creating tech that lets dolphins play computer games and request belly rubs, we can understand their intelligence and perhaps even get a preview of life on other planets, says marine mammal researcher Diana Reiss. In some ways, dolphins and humans aren’t so different. We’re both intelligent, social animals, and we both rely on complex vocal ...

Blocking light to see planets beyond the solar system: Jeremy Kasdin at TED2014

"The universe is teeming with planets," and Jeremy Kasdin, an astronomer at Princeton University, wants to see them. Not in the way they've been detected so far, but directly.

Seeds for healthy cells, candy for cancer: The stop motion tricks behind this TED-Ed lesson
