100,000 stars
Okay, so let’s be honest: I’m a science geek. And astronomy is pretty high on that list. But how anyone could fail to be amazed at Google Chrome’s ’100,000 stars’ experiment is beyond me. I mean, just look: If you’ve got

Red vs. Blue: Electricity fight!
This is a pretty darn cool video. What’s happening here is the platforms that the men are standing on are Tesla coils, which produce large (seriously large) electricity voltages. Like lightning, or any other form of electricity, the voltage produced

The ‘Goldilocks planet’ search continues…
So, it looks like they’ve found another Earth-like planet! HD 40307g (catchy name) is a new addition to the list of habitable planets – and even better, it’s the closest one to us in orbit around a Sun-like star! (If

Experiment #2: Separating an egg with ease
So, first off, it’s been a long time since I last posted: things have weirdly gotten busier, despite me seeming to have less to do! But I’m back and hopefully this will get this blog kickstarted again. I know that

Experiment #1: Hot air bottle with a bang!
From time to time, I stumble across cool experiments that are fun to try – sometimes by accident! Here’s one I discovered the other day: a simple way to show how air expands when it gets hot, and shrinks when

E=mc^2
But what does this equation actually mean – and why is it so important in physics? It all comes back to relativity, the hallmark of Einstein’s contributions to physics. This famous equation describes the “mass-energy equivalence” principle: basically, that energy

3D television
With 3D films becoming a normal occurrence at the cinema, and 3D TV adverts all over the place, now seems like a good time to explain how 3D TV works! There are two types of 3D filming: one based on
