“The slow mo guys” have just shot a funny video in which we see popping corn in slow motion. Visually it’s quite entertaining and it’s like if we see the creation of popcorn for the first time in our life. The sequences were filmed with a Phantom Flex HD video camera, at 2500-10 000 fps. [...]

Now seeing through walls is no longer unfeasible, as long as you’re using a mobile device at least. A newly developed imager chip can make cell phones see beyond walls and other surfaces on wood, paper, or plastic. A team of researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas developed this unique imager chip, one [...]

Scientists succeeded in proving the existence of Rogue Waves that come out of nowhere, even in calm waters. With a simple fish tank and a wave generator, a LEGO pirate ship gets hit by a rogue wave at 38′ in the video below. “Super Rogue Waves or Monster Waves are relatively large and spontaneous ocean surface waves that occur far out at sea, and are a threat even to [...]

Here comes the Hamburger made in a Laboratory by Scientists : “Scientists in the Netherlands say they hope to produce the first laboratory-grown hamburger by fall, according to news reports out of a conference in Canada. Using cow stem cells grown in a petri dish, the researchers have created small strips of muscle that will be [...]

Moe’s Southwest Grill commercial is like weird but let’s say it’s for Education. Showing images of objects and food exploding in a microwave at 500 fps, the restaurant wants to warn that microwaves are dangerous for health (title of the video is “Microwaves Ruin Everything”) and they don’t use them. Well, I’m not convinced of [...]

An old dream comes true : decoding human genome for only 1000 dollars in less than 1 day. Life Technologies unveiled the Benchtop Ion Proton Sequencer, a $149,000 machine designed to decode a Human Genome at this price and in a few hours. That’s ridiculous when you know that Human Genome Project started in 1990, [...]

The planet is so beautiful viewed from this angle. Here’s a short video featuring nature and animals at their best. The narrative of this short film is provided by David Attenborough, naturalist and BBC journalist. The music and lyrics are from song “What A Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong. A good way to relax, far [...]

Is this the new HAARP in China or a Welcome Message for Aliens ? No idea but this is weird. These images can be seen in Google Maps, see links below. Image 1 : Image 2 : Image 3 : [via]

The following video was shot with a Phantom HD camera (between 1000 and 3000 frames per second ; Phantom camera is priced at around $ 100 000 the device). It shows all the beauty and power of water filmed in slow motion. The effect is particularly successful for big waves in the ocean and the [...]

Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC) has unveiled a video of a superconductor levitation performed at the University of Tel Aviv (“Quantum Levitation“). See definition of Superconductivity. What is new here is that quantum superconductor is locked in a magnetic field and stay in the same position. Here in France at the Festival of Science at [...]

A 29-year-old woman is hearing her own voice and laugh for the first time in her life. Big Moment. Sarah Churman has received esteem-hearing implant.

Scientists at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) recorded Neutrinos particles that travel faster than light (299 792 458 meters/second). Albert Einstein could be wrong. If this result is confirmed, it could change the World of Physics. “If confirmed, the discovery would undermine Albert Einstein’s 1905 theory of special relativity, which says that the speed [...]
