Self-Healing Skin and Scorpion Biology

In this episode of SciShow Talk Show, Hank Green is joined by Peter Winkler to discuss self-healing skin technology, which could revolutionize prosthetics and other applications. They explore its potential uses and the science behind it, including the role of nickel in conductivity. The show also features a segment called 'Stump Hank!' where they discuss the stability of Saturn's rings and why they won't form a moon.
