When we saw the robot which revealed how sea creatures might first have set slithery fin on land, we never imagined that other aquatic life-form robots would surface which would amaze with such ease. And then we set eyes on the Festo AirJelly, modeled after the jelly fish, which floats through the air as if the atmosphere was as buoyant ...

Brought to you from the twisted mind of Joseph Seigenthaler, Noggins are a series of sculptures created from oil, resin, hair, wax, fabric and Stoneware or Earthware called Noggins. All of the creations are pretty grotesque looking, usually involving a face stuck in a state of contortion, though I’d imagine you could tone it down a bit by throwing one ...

Chemistry was always my worst science subject. I was always more of a physics guy. For whatever reason, I could never grasp the periodic table, which sadly put a damper on my dream of becoming a mad scientist. You soon realize that having crazy hair just isn’t enough. So you don’t have a home laboratory for designing your diabolical compounds? ...

Normally, when new USB drive hits the market, it’s not cause for concern in the slightest. But I have a feeling that this particular one-gigabyte drive will not only turn heads like that $300,000 watch you wish you owned, but will also encourage females to hop on your genitalia and ride you like a ferris wheel.

The Urban Security Suit, from Dutch designer Tim Smith, is a stylish upgrade to the classic camouflage look from yesteryear. Complete with color coordinated gas mask, a stylish neoprene composition and lined ...

Daily planning and productivity is a daily struggle for the working man (or women, on those rare occasions). You can create as complex of a calendar as you want, even factoring in the movement of the planets if you see fit; but at the end of the day, you’re still going to want to rip the damn thing to shreds ...

Though the fundamentally awesome concept of time and space appears intriguing to both stoners and astrophysicists, only one of two groups can afford this particular watch. Designed by Swiss watchmaker Romain Jerome, the Day&Night watch offers (wait for it) only two modes of time: day and night. The Wall Street Journal explains how it works in exceptional detail: The watch ...

The cake is FAKE! If you’ve never played Portal, you might be a tad bit confused by this reference. Trust me though, it makes sense. What makes even more sense is finding a way to prank your geeky significant other with a Portal / Rick Roll cake. Every year, the creator of this cake has lovingly designed a new geeky ...

Soldering can be a really tricky thing to master. Between having to have a clean workspace, a nearby electrical outlet, and a huge risk for burns, it sometimes feels like an accident waiting to happen.
