Hmmm… Apparently scientists have studied dog brains with MRIs to see how they really feel about us: In the 30,000 years humans and dogs have lived together, man’s best friend has only become a more popular and beloved pet. Today, dogs are a fixture in almost 50% of American households. From the way dogs thump…
It Flashes 90 Billion Time Per Second
Is this possible? Apparently some researchers have had an initial win in a light source used in quantum computing. Companies like Intel and D-Wave Systems have poured a ton of money and resources into this area. Most microprocessors compute on a series of states of 0 or 1. Quantum computing uses something called q-bits which…
Is This Actually The First Pic of An Alien Planet?
The Hubble Space Telescope has taken some incredible pics of a very interesting planet. It is only 25 light years away and it’s solar system is around a star called Fomahaut. The planet they discovered was the first of its kind searching with visible light. Although astronomers find the data promising there are some skeptics.…
What Happens When You Mix Ferrofluids And Superconductors?
There has been a lot of interesting talk lately about superconductors. Much of this is due to the discussions of the hyperloop proposed by Elon Musk of Tesla. Also many people probablysee the potential of other applications in travel, computing and a lot of other fields. Now the every adventurous Myles Powers shows us an…
Randrop Makes Awesome Visuals On A Sandy Surface
It is hypnotic to watch..And these scientists film an incredibly cool phenomenon: This shows the impact of water drops on the surface of granular particles—a phenomenon that is likely familiar to all of us who have watched raindrops splashing in a backyard or on a beach. The high-speed photography reveals the detailed liquid-drop impact dynamics at…
Can You Ride A Motorcycle On Water?
Find out here.. The Myth Busters have done it again. In this episode they examine the physics in a motorcycle riding on water. Now that seems a bit far fetched as most people would assume no, so in all fairness this test involves an aqua bike. basically it is a motorcycle with some extra parts.…
Guy Hasn’t Showered In 12 Years In The Name Of Science
Is he crazy smart or just crazy? Yes you read the headline correctly. David Whitlock, a chemical engineer in Boston, has not showered for 12 years. Whitlock isn’t running an experiment in extreme water conservation. Rather, he believes that humans don’t need to shower to be healthy, and that a daily soap scrub may actually…
Bouncing Water Droplet Effect In Super Slow Motion

Mysterious Artifact Was Discovered In Turkey
Archaeological studies never cease to amaze and they just found a never before discovered mosaic floor from 1,500 years ago. It is hard to believe that this type of precision could be constructed with the tools and technology available at the time,: “The ancient city of Doliche (near modern-day Dülük), which was part of the…
NASA Has An Alternative Theory On How Mars Lost It’s Atmosphere
Do you agree?? Apparently NASA has a new theory in regards to this question: Where did Mars’ atmosphere and water go? The answer is blowing in the wind. NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution Mission (MAVEN) has shined some light onto how Mars lost its atmosphere after a year of orbiting the red planet. 4.2-3.7…
Could This Evidence Have Indicated Life Could Have Existed On Mars?
It has been quite a year for astronomy and there was even a big announcement this week by NASA about the atmosphere of Mars. Data from the Opportunity rover confirmed that Mars had sustained water, and the conditions could have hosted life. When you think that organisms exist in volcanoes on earth where temperatures get…
Can The Speed Of Light Be Broken?
The ever clever Veritasium examines one of the most debated topics in science year after year. Can anything actually travel faster than the speed of light? If so, what type of propulsion system or physics would be involved in such an endeavor. He goes over a few scenarios where this could theoretically take place. Will…
150,000 Year Old Pipes In China Are Still A Mystery
These “pipes” in the Qunghai Provence of China remain a mystery to this day. Here is an excerpt from one researcher in regards to them: Though some have since tried to explain the pipes as a natural phenomenon, Yang Ji, a research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told Xinhua the pyramid may…
NASA And Their Quest For New Worlds
This video from NASA examines new ways to search for civilizations on other planets. Here is an intro: Astronomers have used many different methods to discover planets beyond the solar system, but the most successful by far is transit photometry, which measures changes in a star’s brightness caused by a mini-eclipse. When a planet crosses…
NASA Live Broadcast About Mars Atmosphere Now Streaming
This is happening now check it out: As the roster suggests, the announcement will be based on findings from MAVEN, which was launched in November of 2013 and recently celebratedone year in orbit around the red planet. “MAVEN will help scientists understand the climate history of Mars,” according to the mission description. “How did a…
10 Mysteries Of Science That They Still Have Not Explained
Do you agree with this list or should something else be on here? There are many mysteries of science and in this video they examine 10 of the top ones. 10. How did life originate? 9. What is the identity of the dark matter? 8. What is the nature of the dark energy that drives…
Guy Boils His iPhone in Coke and This Happened
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME OR WITHOUT THE SUPERVISION OF A PROFESSIONAL! The ever adventurous Tech Rax does it again with an interesting home experiment he describes as such: I decided to drop a brand new iPhone 6 in some boiling Coca-Cola. The results made my house smell like smoke for 2 hours. I…
Did We Really Have Another Planet In Our Solar System?
Does this seem possible? Apparently there are new theories that we may have had another planet in our solar system that got kicked out by Jupiter?
