This is a video example of giant steel spheres being hydroformed with explosives. What the hell is explosive hydroforming? I’m glad you asked, but I’m even more glad the Youtube video description provided an explanation: Explosive hydroforming, also known as HERF (High Energy Rate Forming) or exploform, is a striking

Because going nowhere fast is a real thing that happens, this is a video of glider pilot Brent Davidson traveling at 46 knots (~53MPH) in an equal headwind of 46 knots created by an air wave lifted by a mountain range below, causing the glider to just float stationary in

Cutting Venus fly trap jaws from the plant then controlling them with a smartphone via electrical impulse: no good is going to come out of whatever the hell direction this research is headed. But is that stopping the scientists at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore from pressing forward? No it
