For all of those who loved MacGyver in the 80's, here's a link to the whole 7 seasons, which can be watched freely. Unfortuantely, the videos are available for just a few countries Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/show?p=aRf9zzDkrjU Enjoy!

The biggest bombs available before the nuke, were the ten tonne "Grand Slam" bombs. This video shows how massive they were, and what they could do upon impacting the ground. Pretty cool! Enjoy!

What actually happens if you sit in front of a laboratory particle beam accelerator? Well, you can try and find out, but I would suggest to have a look at this video first, which graphically ilustrates what happens. Very insightful. Also, you should keep in mind that these kind of particles are seen regularly in space. An effective way of dealing with them (using electromagnets) has been proposed, but is still in research. Enjoy!

A really elaborate 6 minute compilation of cool slow motion videos. Some of them you've seen right here on this site. It's good that somebody took the time to do this! Enjoy!

For around 200,000 US dollars you can buy your very own personal jet-pack. Here's a video demonstration of how it works done by the manufacturer. Pretty cool actually!

These guys managed to capture a 2.2 million volt lightning strike using just a thick piece of Plexiglass. As the lightning strike travels through it, it melts the plastic, leaving an imprint of the strike, called a Lichtenberg figure. Pretty cool, isn't it?

If you don't have the money to buy the original and commercially available Segway, what do you do? You build your own, stripped version of it. This is what this guy did: he built his own balancing scooter, a little modified from the original Segway, so it goes like a skateboard. Cool!

Worried that the tree that grew up crooked in his front yard might fall on top of his house, this man calls up a contractor. Of course, he looks for the cheapest one available. Can you guess what happens? )

This aggressive little goat is keen on hitting someone with its horns. Too bad that two available people are in the car...and plan to stay in it. Funny! Enjoy!

Here's a pretty elaborate prank pulled off in a women's bathroom. I got to confess, I didn't understand how it was possible at first, but then if you pay attention you notice. Pretty cool and funny Enjoy!

From the "Tonight Show" with Jay Leno, this is a part of it called "Ask the Fruit Cake Lady". She is simply hilarious. Enjoy and remember that the fruitcake lady knows best ;) !

Well, if that truck would've had ESP (yes, ESP is available in trucks also) then it probably wouldn't have skidded out of control like that. Safety should be above everything. Slow the F down!

Tour De France 2007 contestant meets the asphalt, after a light minded Labrador thinks he can cross the road whenever he feels like it. Luckily neither the dog or the cyclist didn't suffer any serious injuries. Too bad for the bike, though!

A cool but rather strange video of Japan's Olympic diving team showing off some moves in a robotized fashion. The end result is pretty spectacular, especially from the underwater point of view. Enjoy the show!

Actually, pretty slim. But the dude must've practiced a day or so, until he got it perfect. It's a very elaborate Halo 3 suicide. Wow!

Yes. This is true, you can easily make biodiesel at home and use it with your existing diesel car. It will actually run smother, and lubricate your engine, thus extending its life. In Europe, biodiesel is already available mixed with regular diesel. Anyway, lets hope that US will take note!

Imagine having a picture and being able to transform it into a 3D environment, and then navigating through it like you were there. What is more spectacular, is that this system would be able to transform the pictures from Google Earth into spectacular 3D environments. Wow.

This study researched killing cancer cells with nano-magnets, with the same principle as a microwave oven. The study of nano-particles applied to biomedicine continues to give interesting results, as research is still in its infancy. Through their work, the chemists from the university of Cagliari are now investigating some of the possibilities opened by this field. One is to use magnetic particles to convey the drugs only to the diseased cells, the other is to drive up the tumor and then force them to oscillate under the control of a variable magnetic field, thereby heating the target cells, just like a microwave oven does with the water molecules contained in food. This second mechanism exploits hyperthermia. It appears that cancer cells can be destroyed by beeing brought to a temperature of 42.5 degrees Celsius for about half an hour. In order arrive at the place desired, the particles must be incorporated into liposomes, hollow microspheres formed by lipid bilayers (for which reason they are called "magneto-liposomes"), which are able to overcome the barrier of cells. They must have a diameter of about 20 nanometers. Larger could indeed block blood vessels, while smaller particles may be "eaten" by macrophage cells which are in charge with the elimination of foreign bodies. Currently, the research team is working on the synthesis of particles and study of their structural and magnetic properties. Currently these are being built in oxide of iron or iron cobalt. The latter are more manoeuvrable, because their magnetic properties depend strongly on the direction along which the field is applied to (property known as magnetic anisotropy).

Twenty years after the first partially successful attempt to cold fusion, a new experiment seems to have reopened the hopes of obtaining nuclear reactions at low energy (LENR low-energy nuclear reactions). This was announced by a team of researchers led by Pamela Mosier-Boss of the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center San Diego (California), with a study presented at the annual meeting of American Chemical Society, the first visible evidence of the production of neutrons, the particles subatomic whose presence demonstrates the atomic reaction occurred. It was 1989 when Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons showed that it has obtained experimentally the Cold Fusion, arousing great outcry in the scientific community. Fusion is the reaction that takes place inside of stars, their source of energy, able to reproduce in the laboratory at room temperature this process would be an amazing achievement. Further research then disappointed initial expectations: the rare attempts (for example, those of 2000 and 2002) to reproduce the results of 1989 and have not convinced the path of nuclear reaction at low energy has not proved viable as an alternative to "clean" nuclear fission, which is based on the common operation of nuclear power.

For the first time a gene was identified that allows the repair of damaged nerves in nematodes. The study is from Science Express. A gene that can stimulate the growth of nerve cells was first identified by researchers at the University of Utah (USA), thanks to cutting-edge experimental techniques and a huge genetic screening on a nematode (cylindrical or worm). The neurons, which in the embrio are able to regenerate, in adults have their capacity to "repair" reduced or absent. In other words, damage to the central nervous system (brain or spinal cord) and its consequences - paralysis, loss or reduction of cognitive faculties - are permanent. "In the past molecules have been identified that can inhibit the growth of neurons in different organisms," says the coordinator of research Michael Bastiani, "but their removal in the laboratory had no effect. That is why we went to look for those genes that can stimulate rather than inhibit, the regeneration of nerve. " Taking as a experimental model flat worms (Caenorhabditis elegans), biologists have searched for the genes that trigger the regrowth of motor (neurons that "command" voluntary muscles): in practice, with an experimental technique called RNA interference to "shut down ", one by one, 5000 on 20,000 genes in the DNA of worms (genes similar are also present in humans). The analysis led to the identification of dlk-1, which appears to play a key role in the regeneration of nerve tissue, and three other genes responsible for the formation of axons (parts of the neuron that conduct electrical signal). The researchers found that in nematodes, the gene dlk-1 not only triggers a chain of events known as "Map kinase" behind the growth of neurons, but also that their regeneration can be increased or decreased by stimulating the gene to produce amounts more or less high of the protein dlk-1.
