Otl Aicher created the visual language that the world now reads without thinking. The small stick figure on every airport bathroom door. The pictograms that direct travelers to the stairs, the telephone, the information desk, or the first-aid station. The wayfinding in train stations, hospitals, and airports across the world. All of it descends from drawings produced for a single fortnight of athletics in Bavaria in 1972.
His work runs deeper than the pictograms. He redesigned the corporate identity of Lufthansa, defining what the airline looked like for over half a century. He directed the visual identity of the 1972 Munich Olympics, a single design program covering more than one hundred separate categories of output, from athlete uniforms to ticket stubs. He designed the typeface Rotis, still used today by the Bilbao Metro, the city of Montreal, and the cover of Björk’s Homogenic. He co-founded the Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm, the school that, more than any other institution in postwar Germany, established what we now mean by systematic design.
Behind all of it sat a quiet philosophy about how ordinary objects shape the way a country sees itself, and how small, careful, unmonumental decisions, repeated across every surface a brand or a nation touches, add up to something larger than any single mark or logo could ever be.

Most living things vanish without a trace. Some become fossils. But how?
In this episode of Field Notes Professor Hannah Fry and VSauce’s Michael Stevens dig into the unlikely process that turns bone into stone.
From prehistoric seas hidden beneath Kansas to fossils mistaken for mythical creatures, they follow the clues that reveal Earth’s deep past.
Along the way they uncover the lost landscape of Doggerland, investigate creatures that survive without sunlight, and tackle listener questions about radioactive waste, volcanoes, and some surprisingly persistent scientific myths.

Tellurium is a rare, brittle element essential for modern tech. Learn how this silver-like material powers solar panels and cooling systems.
This video examines the unique chemical properties of tellurium and why it remains a critical component in current engineering. We break down its physical characteristics—specifically its glass-like brittleness—and explain how it compares to other metallic substances found in nature.
Beyond basic properties, we explore the practical tellurium uses that keep modern technology running. You will understand how rare elements like this are integrated into complex electronics cooling solutions and renewable energy infrastructure. By the end, you will have a clear grasp of why this specific element is vital for hardware development.
