Super glue: it’s tiny, it’s sticky, and it’s way more powerful than you think! In this video from Veritasium, host Derek Muller takes you on a fun journey through this accidental wonder of science. Originally invented in the 1940s as a clear plastic for gunsights, it wasn’t long before its incredible sticking power was discovered—and yes, it works on skin too! How? Well, when it meets water, it forms strong polymer chains that bond almost anything—except certain plastics (sorry, plastic toys). You’ll learn why this stuff can hold thousands of pounds, why it’s used in emergency rooms, and how to get it off your fingers without drama. It’s not just about sticking things together—could super glue actually help solve plastic waste? Watch below!

Cyberpunk fans, rejoice! The long-awaited 4K remaster of Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence is finally here, bringing Mamoru Oshii’s visionary sequel back to the big screen in breathtaking detail. Originally released in 2004, the film is set to return to theaters in Japan this February, alongside a remastered version of the original Ghost in the Shell.
Set in a future where the line between humanity and artificial intelligence continues to blur, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence follows Batou, the stoic, cybernetically enhanced detective from Public Security Section 9, as he investigates a series of violent incidents involving malfunctioning gynoids—androids designed for human companionship. While the film initially received mixed reviews, it has since been recognized as a thought-provoking exploration of consciousness, identity, and the evolving relationship between humans and machines.
Visually, Innocence was ahead of its time, blending hand-drawn animation with CGI in ways few other anime dared. Now, thanks to the 4K remaster, fans can experience the film’s intricate cybernetic landscapes and hauntingly beautiful cityscapes in unprecedented clarity. Here is the official trailer, which, while not in 4K, is at least in 1080p!
As part of the remaster’s release, director Mamoru Oshii shared his thoughts on revisiting Innocence after two decades. He revealed that watching the film in 4K allowed him to appreciate the meticulous work that went into its original production—work that was not fully visible in the lower-resolution versions of the past.
“As we release the 4K remastered version of Innocence, I watched the film all the way through for the first time in 20 years,” Oshii said. “It was beautifully and meticulously done, and I’m very pleased with how it turned out.”
He also reflected on the intense effort it took to create the film, recalling how he was bedridden for two months after completing Innocence.
“That energy, that turmoil, is embedded in this film. To create something truly beautiful, you have to overcome something. Watching it again, I felt a deep-seated passion, or perhaps a kind of decadent allure, in the film. I hope everyone will take the opportunity to see it in theaters.”
Both Ghost in the Shell and Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence will premiere in their remastered formats at TOHO Cinemas Chanter in Tokyo on February 28, with additional screenings planned across Japan. While no international release has been confirmed yet, fans around the world are hoping for a chance to experience Oshii’s cyberpunk masterpieces on the big screen once again.
With Innocence finally receiving the visual clarity it deserves, there’s never been a better time to revisit one of anime’s most thought-provoking and visually stunning sequels. Will we see it hit international theaters? Let’s hope the answer is a resounding “yes.”
The fate of BioWare now rests in the hands of Mass Effect 5. After a rocky decade filled with misfires, the once-legendary RPG studio is shifting its full attention to the next installment in its beloved sci-fi saga, now that Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been released.
EA has confirmed that Mass Effect 5 is now BioWare’s sole focus, but with a smaller team. While that may raise concerns about the game’s scope and ambition, it also means no more juggling multiple projects—just one, massive, all-or-nothing return to form. Given the time and care needed to craft a worthy follow-up to Mass Effect 3, fans should temper expectations for a release anytime soon. If The Veilguard’s eight-year development is anything to go by, it could be quite the wait.
“The studio’s priority was Dragon Age. During this time there were people continuing to build the vision for the next Mass Effect. Now that The Veilguard has shipped, the studio’s full focus is Mass Effect.
While we’re not sharing numbers, the studio has the right number of people in the right roles to work on Mass Effect at this stage of development.”
But patience might be the key. The original Mass Effect trilogy is still hailed as one of the greatest RPG experiences in gaming, and if BioWare can recapture that magic, it could restore the studio’s reputation. However, if Mass Effect 5 stumbles, it could signal the end of an era for one of gaming’s most celebrated developers.
Will BioWare rise again, or is this the last chance for a legendary studio?

Youtuber CGP Grey is back with another deep dive into the hidden logic behind everyday systems—this time, it’s postcodes. They’re more than just extra address details; they’re the secret instructions that tell the mail how to move.
In the U.S., ZIP codes sort mail step by step through regional hubs. The UK’s alphanumeric system makes sorting easier with memorable letter codes. But Ireland threw tradition out the window, opting for a fully random system with built-in GPS precision.
Each country has its own approach—but which one is the smartest? Watch below!
