The Spice Grinder Improved With Grade School Science

Remember when you first learned about the power of levers? And how (in theory) you could even use one to move a mountain?

Twitter’s Awful But Amazing Recruitment Video

There’s nothing like a good viral video to spread the word that you’re hiring, and tbat’s what Twitter hopes they’ve created with their latest recruiting effort that combines equal parts cheesy and awesome.

Boxx Electric Bike Takes Its Design Stylings From IKEA’s Packaging

The limited capacity of batteries has made aerodynamics particularly important for extending the range of electric vehicles. So why have the makers of the Boxx electric bike completely thrown those principles out the window with their box on wheels? The design probably makes shipping the $4,000 bike as easy as an IKEA TV stand, but…

The Only Avalanche I Want to See Coming at Me Is One in This Lab

While we’ve come up with ingenious methods of escaping avalanches, science still isn’t well-versed in their inner mechanics. A Montana State University researcher is trying to change that by setting off his own mini-avalanches—just, you know, indoors. https://gizmodo.com/this-tiny-orange-balloon-could-save-your-life-in-an-ava-5868427 Engineering professor Ed Adams performs his research out of the Subzero Science and Engineering Research Facility at…

Tomorrow’s Spies Will Drop F-BOMBS Everywhere

Fuck. It’s a word that commands attention. These F-BOMB computers, however, are designed to do just the opposite—quietly and inconspicuously gather sensitive information from within secure areas.
