Listen to the Higgs

Check it out, you can listen to the Higgs (God Particle).

What Lurks Beneath The Earth's Surface

Invading the planet's interior today is an essential undertaking, says Brenda J. Buck, a geoscientist at the . "There is much we have to learn about how our interaction with the Earth affects the Earth and all other living things, and how our interaction with the Earth affects ourselves."

For example, many naturally occurring materials are extremely dangerous to our health, explains Brenda, who focuses on medical geology. She names two: arsenic and asbestos. Both substances occur in nature, and asbestos has even been mined for use in many everyday applications. (Read more!)

Teen inventor uses 3D printing to revolutionize prosthetics

"I would never have imagined that something I made in my bedroom would be shaking hands with the President," says 17-year-old Easton LaChappelle. But that's exactly what happened when LaChappelle got to visit the White House Science Fair and present the robotic prosthetic arm that he 3D-printed and built in his bedroom lab. (Read more!)

3D Printed ‘Robohand’ Replaces Lost Fingers for Cheap

Laas now uses a relatively inexpensive, arguably unprecedented hand prosthesis custom-crafted by a 3D printer. ”It looks cool. It makes me look like Darth Vader,”

you've heard of Russia engineering,

you've heard of  the Russian N1 right?
(you couldn't possibly do much worse...)

KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM NEEDS YOU!
