Watch America's new missile defense system destroying an enemy fighter

You're seeing America's new ground-to-air missile defense system in action, destroying an enemy QF-4 Phantom fighter jet. In fact, it simultaneously destroyed two airborne enemies during a stress test last Wednesday. Its name is MEADS and it will replace the famous Patriot missile interceptors.

You can watch your favorite movies in one minute with these GIFs

With movies you've already seen, sitting through the whole thing again is a little bit much. Since you already know what's going to happen, you only need to see a few key sequences to get the same amount of enjoyment. A quick top off as opposed to a full refill, you know? Reddit understood that and developed a whole new genre of animated gifs: the full movie GIF, an entire movie distilled into a GIF shot.

This amazing fruit fly evolved to have pictures of ants on its wings

This is unbelievable, but the fruit fly G tridens has somehow evolved to have what looks like pictures of ants on its wings. Seriously, its transparent wings have an ant design on them complete with "six legs, two antennae, a head, thorax and tapered abdomen." It's nature's evolutionary art painted on a fly's wings.

Every superhero movie is the same as every other superhero movie

Nov 09, 12:42AM

It's true. Even if you're dealing with the brilliant Dark Knight or fantastic Iron Man or the good times of Thor, all superhero movies pretty much boil down to the same thing: an established hero fighting a lunatic bad guy to prevent the destruction of some version of New York City with epic fight scenes and long death scenes galore. Slacktory nails this perfectly in their hilarious video How to make a superhero in 10 easy steps.

Smartphones Are Made for Giant Man-Hands

Smartphones Are Made for Giant Man-Hands

About a month and a half ago, after years of relentless Blackberry mockery from my plugged in coworkers, I did something pretty out of my typically Luddite character: I bought a smartphone. And so far, I like it just fine. I can listen to Spotify on my phone now, which is nice. And the picture quality is much better than my old phone's. The biggest problem? My phone was clearly designed for someone with hands much, much bigger than mine. And I'm not the only woman with this problem.

People tip toeing on top of buildings over cities will always be scary

People tip toeing on top of buildings over cities will always be scary

There's not to much say. I'm a wimp when it comes to these photos. Tom Ryaboi, an awesome photographer who has mastered the art of taking knee-shaking shots of people looking down on cities from impossible heights, is not. And I'm thankful for Ryaboi's thrill seeking awesomeness because just looking at these pictures freak me out. The landscape, the lights, the buildings and the risk all come together in a dizzying sensation of spectacular.

Who Thinks Letting Cops Use Facial Recognition Devices Is a Bad Idea?

In the past couple years, companies like Google and Facebook have struggled to find the right balance between useful and creepy with the development of facial recognition technology. Some law enforcement agencies, however, are not holding back their enthusiasm—and nobody's going for it quite like the cops in San Diego.

3D-Printed Mini Human Liver Survives 40 Days, Works Like the Real Thing

Nov 08, 10:32PM

Organovo's 3D-printed mini-liver just shattered its own record, carrying out the same cellular functions as a natural human liver for 40 days in the lab. That may not seem like a lot — human liver cells are replaced about every 300 to 500 days — but the company's previous millimeter-sized liver slivers only managed five days. The trick: Organovo uses the same mix of hepatocytes (the cells that carry out liver functions) and endothelial cells (which form the liver's architectural support) found in nature, leading cells to develop more naturally than other experiments that used only the functional cells. It's a small but significant step for the more than 120,000 people on organ transplant waiting lists worldwide.

How Bourbon Gets Its Beautiful Flavor
