Here, our authors had mice strut their stuff on a glass runway to illuminate their footprints for the camera. (56402)
During <a href="https://www.jove.com/video/56591/wind-tunnel-experiments-to-study-chaparral-crown-fires">November</a>, JoVE <a href="https://www.jove.com/journal/engineering">Engineering</a> really turned up the heat as our authors described wind tunnel experiments that simulate forest fires in chaparral shrubs. (56591)
Finally, in <a href="https://www.jove.com/video/54807/laser-heating-radiance-spectrometry-for-study-nuclear-materials">December</a> JoVE finished the year with a bang. Not only did we publish our 7,000th video but in JoVE <a href="https://www.jove.com/journal/chemistry">Chemistry</a> our authors showcased laboratory experiments designed to simulate a nuclear reactor core meltdown and improve the safety of nuclear power plants - that's actually pretty cool.
