A jellyfish that could potentially live forever. Able to regenerate its whole body, cell by cell, is the only example in nature. Now if only we could work out how to get our bodies to do that.. Get to 50 and regress 30 years.. The Curious Case of the Immortal Jellyfish | Discoblog | Discover [...]
The UK Government’s National Archives have released lots of PDFs that detail UFO sightings from the years 1981-1996. Click below to access these documents. UFO files | Newly released files from The National Archives.
Another one of those list posts! Lots of strange things people have discovered that have defeated science. The Dropa Stones also feature (even though that’s a known myth) as well as a hammer found inside 400 million year old rock, even though the first modern humans are accepted by science of existing only 200,000 years [...]
A great list of some of the craziest materials that will be commonplace in the future. The most amazing, developed oddly in 1931, is the aerogel – 99.8% is actually just empty space, making it a great insulator. It makes you wonder why it isn’t in common use everywhere. Check out the list to see [...]
Anyone who has seen the Michael Caine classic will know the ending to the film well.. A coach teetering over the edge of a cliff. Pallets of gold temptingly close, but ever creeping towards the end of the coach, and away from the team that had just stolen it – trying desperately to keep the [...]

British company, P2i, have announced today their latest technology that makes materials waterproof at a molecular level. Unlike other types of solutions, their “Ion Mask” plasma surface enhancement technology [sic] will penetrate an object completely, [...]
UK Engineering at it’s finest, and also just down the road from where I live, Southampton University have developed a submarine to explore the undersea world automatically. Capable of diving to depths of 6km, and a range of 1000km, the AutoSub6000 will be primarily exploring undersea volcanoes. It amazes me how these boffins can set [...]
Google Earth is soon to release a plug-in that will allow 3D content from the Google Earth archives to be displayed within your browser window – rather than using the stand-alone Google Earth app. The plug-in currently supports, in it’s Beta form, Firefox 2 and IE6/7. This is a move, I think, that spells the [...]
