People say that peanuts are healthy. They're a super food or something. But the peanut is apparently good for other things too, like inspiring design. The Japanese architect Hiroshi Ueda overlapped two circles to create the peanut concept for this building, completed last year. And it seems only fitting that the peanut house a nursery school.

Science Happens In Places That Are Beautiful By Accident
Jun 19, 2:00AM
Those spikey deals look pretty menacing. It wouldn't be a bad guess to think that they're abstract art meant to invoke a Medieval torture aesthetic. But that's way off. The infinitely repeating barbs are part of the anechoic chambers at the Technical University of Denmark. Basically they absorb sound and electromagnetic waves so scientists can test wave-emitting devices for things like volume and clarity. And they look badass doing it.

Jun 18, 11:16PM
Okay PRISM. It's enough already. Erosion of privacy! Whatever. Apathy is setting in. But actually we should probably all be putting some thought into what we're doing with our private information.

Remember When Big Brother's Only Weapon Was CCTV?
Jun 18, 9:46PM
When I was a kid, there was no image more closely associated with surveillance than the CCTV camera. Big Brother is watching, we were warned. The government is keeping tabs on you with video cameras on every street corner. Soon they may even install cameras in your home, they insisted. Honestly, that may have been preferable to what we ended up getting.

London's Triangular "Cheesegrater" Tower Rises In This Gorgeous Video
Jun 18, 9:40PM
British architect Richard Rogers is known for putting the guts of buildings on display. In fact, his work has even inspired the scatological style known as Bowellism. This summer, Rogers' exoskeletal style is being writ large in London, where he's building a wedge-shaped tower called the Leadenhall Building. And lucky for us, the construction process is being filmed in high-def.

Jun 18, 9:28PM
Amputees may one day regain actual feeling thanks to Darpa and researchers at Case Western University who have created what we thought was once only possible in science fiction. As a part of DARPA's Reliable Neural-Interface Technology (RE-NET) program, CWRU's flat interface nerve electrode (FINE) system has demonstrated that it can provide enough sensation to each individual finger to give amputees the ability to feel their way around, just like Luke Skywalker.

Buildings Based On Human Bone Structure Could Be the Future of Cities
Jun 18, 8:11PM
Biomimicry borrows design solutions from the embedded intelligence within animals' bodies—chiefly from other species. But occasionally, it also borrows from within the human body. For example, a new study from MIT suggests that buildings of the future could be built with super-strong materials based on the structure of human bones.

Jun 18, 6:03PM
