Feb 07, 7:10PM
Why is DARPA's terrifying humanoid robot having such a good time twirling sparklers around like its flying on ecstasy? Because 56 years ago, the Advanced Research Projects Agency was born. (It only got the "Defense" in its name later) Happy birthday DARPA! Just, uh, please don't give Atlas a wish. Bad idea.

Science Wants a Large Hadron Collider That's Over Three Times As Big
Feb 07, 6:20PM
The Large Hadron Collider certainly lives up to its name: the underground behemoth is nearly 17 miles in circumference. Oh, and it also helped scientists discover the Higgs Boson, no big deal.

During any of the several recent catastrophic blizzards that have draped the country with snow, you might have seen people tagging their photos #sneckdown. No, it's not a protective garment you wear to keep your neck snow-free (although that could also come in handy!). It's a word coined by transportation geeks.

Or at least it will be when the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope comes online atop a remote Chilean mountain top in 2032.

5 Reasons SoundCloud With Major Label Music Could Be Amazing
Feb 07, 3:40PM
Most of the music services available today have more or less the same music, so they distinguish themselves with third-party apps, free versions, improved designs, mixtape-style playlists, and other attractive features. On-demand music services have the same music (more or less) because the same copyright holders decide which songs to put on subscription services, and they typically put certain songs on all of them, or none.

Feb 07, 3:20PM
Outside of cartoonish decals there hasn't been much innovation in the toilet seat industry for a few decades. So it's nice to see Kohler finally bringing something new to the table (err, toilet).

Feb 07, 1:40PM
You'd be forgiven for thinking that a large tuning fork, a nail, some Blu-Tack and a guitar amp sounded more like the contents of a DIY music studio than a science lab. But they are, in fact, all the ingredients required to listen to the sound of atoms bonding.
