So, like most men, you’re going through your midlife crisis, and you’re looking at a sports-bike, a mistress or maybe an Ariel Atom. The problem with all that is that if you’re like me, a middle aged man with less and less hair and more and more belly, you’d...

We already thought that Flash games were cool, imagine how we’d feel about petri dish games. This is exactly what Ingmar Riedel-Kruse had in mind when he developed Ciliaball and Pac-mecium, two games that are playable by interacting with real live microbes, using microscopic cameras and a special microscopic...

The amazing photograph that you see above is the perfect combination of art and science. Greek photographer Chris Kotsiopoulos spent a full day capturing photographs in specific directions at a spot in Athens, Greece – he then spent 12-hours rendering them to combine the 360-degree small world effect with...

Scientists have developed a way to affix silver nano particles on paper without the nano particles falling off, so now we’re only a handful of clinical trials and tests away from getting our own “Killer Paper”. The coated paper killed off E. coli and another nasty bacteria in just three hours....

Apparently it’s not only scientifically plausible, but also very possible and likely. At least the part about the second “sun”. According to Dr.Brad Carter Senior Lecturer of Physics at the University of Southern Queensland, Betelgeuse, the second most massive star in our galaxy, is losing mass and is nice...

Not these two peeps… Sook Shin and Ralf Jankecht are cancer researchers at the Oklahoma University. Sadly for cancer patients everywhere (both present and future), the laptop they hadn’t backed up, and that contained the only copy of a possible cure for prostate cancer, was stolen when someone snatched...

If you don’t think NASA needs any promotion, consider the options that are open to a person that meets the physical and intellectual requirements; then consider what NASA pays… then consider what said person’s salary and benefits might be like if he or she were to enter the corporate...

When it comes down to it, we humans really are a flawed species. Sure, we’ve got our thumbs – but take away our visual points of reference and we don’t all morph into Zatoichi, we just wander around in progressively smaller circles until we bump into a tree. This...

Colonoscopies are gross and scary enough on their own without cockroaches being introduced into the mix – but the photograph that you see before you is of exactly that: a cockroach in someone’s colon, a live one no less....
