I’ve said it all along, birds are huge fans of avant garde rock — now I have proof!
French artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot designed an installation that gave a flock of zebra finches an electric guitar and other instruments and let them rock out.
What comes out reminds me of the music my really strange friends [...more]
Some trippy Brits made one of the coolest clocks I have ever seen.
Instead of a pair of boring hands and a second hand, the clock has just one ball. As the day progresses, the ball stays rolls along as the face of the spiral-shaped clock turns. After 12 hours, the ball [...more]
The band Neurosonics brings more than their instruments to a venue — they bring a bunch of floating blue heads that I assume are witchcraft.

Yup, read that again — I’ll wait.
I know!! What?!
The video from MIT distills all the pertinent information, but doesn’t capture the scope that something like this could have. Hypothetically, [...more]

Welcome to a world that is incomprehensibly dangerous. A world of ghosts, of [...more]
Scientists looking to record heart functions in high speed were having a lot of trouble getting affordable high-speed video footage.
So instead of sitting around and getting drunk like most scientist I know, these Oxford chaps created a hack to turn their store-bought video camera into a high-speed camera capable of 400 frames per [...more]
A massive lightsaber fight broke out in Bristol’s Cabot Circus, another in a long line of great flashmob videos out there.
Organizers said more than 100 people showed up to create the world’s largest lightsaber battle.

An earth-orbiting satellite got a front row seat for the latest solar eclipse.
As the video shows, the event is very interesting and a bit unnerving when sped up so quickly.
The European Space Agency’s Proba 2 satellite was designed to observe the sun with new technology, so more stunning views like this are on [...more]
