Because theme nights make a trip to the ballpark even better (although I wouldn’t say no to a bobblehead giveaway), the collegiate summer baseball team Tri-City Chili Peppers of Colonial Heights, Virginia play several ‘cosmic’ games each season (move over, bowling!), held at night under blacklights with uniforms, bats, balls,

Because scientists are determined to make DNA hacking the way of the future whether you refuse to eat GMO corn or not, ‘synthetic biology startup’ Light Bio has created Firefly Petunias, flowers infused with the DNA of bioluminescent mushrooms so they glow in the dark. And the USDA has just

This is a video of a steel mill producing the world’s longest pieces of rebar (the length seen above isn’t even half as long as it eventually becomes) for use in construction. Or, if you’re playing a survival zombie game like Dead Island, creating makeshift weapons. I’m playing Dead Island

The results are hypnotizing, and I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if

Because Mother Nature’s freaky-deakiness knows no bounds, this is a short clip of a scorpion with a backful of newborns glowing under blacklight. Why do scorpions glow under blacklight? Scientists still aren’t sure — some speculate it helps them find each other or attract prey. Others believe that they glow

Remember when James of Youtube channel The Action Lab painted an entire room with the blackest black paint to see what it would look like? I hope so, it was like a week and a half ago. I mean we don’t all have to be elephants, but it would be

This is a photo of a single atom as captured by scientist David Nadlinger. The photo, which David very cleverly titled ‘Atom In An Ion Trap’, features a strontium atom (with 38 protons and a diameter of a few millionths of a millimeter) visible in the very center of the
