The Blade That Would Make Helicopters Almost Silent

Helicopters make a lot of noise because of a physical phenomenon called blade-vortex interaction. Eurocopter engineers have developed a new kind of rotor blade that attenuates this problem.

Godzilla Battles Sea Monsters And Dragons, For The Sake Of Art

We love Hugo Award-winning artist Bob Eggleton’s art in general, but his kaiju and dragon images — at least one of which appeared in a Tokyo gallery show — melt our brains with their atomic breath of awesomeness.

Chrome PS3 Slim Case Gives You a New Surface for Dust to Collect On

The XCM Cyberchrome case makes your PlayStation 3 look like the bumper of a ’57 Chevy, which is neat. Although I’ve gotta wonder if it makes the PS3 any less of a dust magnet. We’ve already seen XCM’s chrome case for the Xbox 360, but it somehow looks a bit better suited for the PS3’s…

Iceberg The Size Of Luxembourg Threatens Ocean Currents

A massive iceberg has broken off Antarctica and gotten stuck in a position that could cause global ocean currents to change dramatically.

What Is Apple’s Magic Trackpad?

The US Patent & Trademark Office just published Apple’s latest trademark application for “Magic Trackpad”—and, looking at a bit of history, we think it could be one of two new products.
