Scientists think they've finally found the mechanism behind grey hair and baldness. Check it out!

This Tiny Cardboard House Takes 1 Day to Build And Can Last 100 Years.

This Machine Could Remove Plaque From Your Arteries in Minutes.

Though it may look dark from down here on Earth, the Universe is basically a cosmic soup of bright stars, which makes it really, really hard for researchers to find planets outside of our Solar System.

Scientists have invented a machine that lets us communicate with plants.

Tardigrades, or water bears, are freaking strange.

This pot plant can charge your phone through photosynthesis.

A high-tech bed that protects you from falling debris and keeps you safe during an earthquake is a great idea in theory.

Phantom limb sensations can be used to control a computer.

This is a perfect and simple visual representation of a magnetic field. Iron filings are suspended in oil, and you can see them gracefully line up along the magnetic field lines when the ferromagnet is dropped into the setup, revealing a clear dipole configuration.

Move aside, gross old trams and buses, because the public transport of the future is the Straddling Bus, also known as the Land Airbus.

Most people would admit that concrete's not the most exciting concept, but concrete with added bacteria that repairs itself when wet is surprisingly awesome.

The Levitron: spin stabilized magnetic levitation- will fly for about 3 minutes or more per launch. The spin rate of the magnetic top must be just right for flight, not too fast or too slow. Also the weight of the top must be adjusted to within 1 gram to achieve equilibrium between the pull of gravity and the magnetic repulsion from the large donut shaped magnet in the wood base.
