Yup, Even Troll Science Exists [Video]
One of my Facebook friends posted this on their wall with the simple comment of “Troll Physics”:
Play Games and Increase Brain Power with Lumosity!
I went to visit my Aunty the other day and when I walked into the house one of her young children, aged 11, announced, “Look Mum! I reached Level 7!” So I got curious, Level 7 on what? Then my Aunty launched into an explanation of this website – Lumosity. This site was built by […]
The Sagan Series (part 9): The Humans [Video]
There are places, in and around our great cities, where the natural world has all but disappeared. You can make out streets and sidewalks, autos, parking garages, advertising billboards, monuments of glass and steel, but not a tree or a blade of grass or any animal – besides, of course, the humans. There are lots […]

From year to year, the moon never seems to change. Craters and other formations appear to be permanent now, but the moon didn’t always look like this. Thanks to NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, we now have a better look at some of the moon’s history. Learn more in this video! [NASAexplorer]
Space Travel Could Cause Visual Problems
News that long-term space travel can risk causing damage to vision may dampen enthusiasm for future trips. The University of Texas Medical School in Houston has run MRI scans on 27 astronauts who’ve been on either the International Space Station (pictured), a NASA shuttle, or both. The scans found that: with nine astronauts, the cerebospinal […]
Beer Venn Diagram + Entertainment for Beer Geeks [Pic + Videos]

And since we’re already on the subject of beer, here’s a short video demonstrating a technique that will help you pour that perfect pint of Guinness you’re all looking after. And finally, here’s a video […]
Another Giant Leap for 3D Printing
So we can print on the nanoscale. No biggy. But now we can print five metres per second! That’s a world record – 3D printing by this method of “two-photon lithography” used to be measured in millimetres per second! The new printing technique printed 100 layers in four minutes with an accuracy of less than […]
The Day we Stopped Dreaming About Tomorrow [Video]
The intention of this project is to stress the importance of advancing the space frontier and is focused on igniting scientific curiosity in the general public. [Scrunchthethird]
