Shooting fireworks underwater, on a frozen lake isn't exactly what you first think off. But these guys (having a lot of free time on their hand) apparently tried it, and the result is more than spectacular. It's really cool! Enjoy the fireworks show!

We could easily blame this on birdflu, but since it isn't widesprea in Canada (yet, anyway) it's probably just a case of a mental, teritorial goose.

Well, the Russian Lada Niva might not be well known in the US, but in Europe it is infamous for its indestructibility. I've seen it pawn the military version of the Hummer on rough terrain. Yeah. It's a pretty amazing car. These guys modified to go underwater on the lake bed. It's simply amazing!

One deer got stranded in the middle of a frozen lake because it couldn't skate. Luckily a news helicopter arrives on the scene, and manages to save it in an unique way. Watch and enjoy!

The use of an organic material has been put in place a structure capable of transmitting data at rates eight times higher than those of traditional devices . The study of materials capable of transmitting data at ever higher speeds is the constant challenge of the technology of optical communications. The use of a new organic material, tested by a team of U.S. and European research coordinated by Ivan Biaggi of Lehigh University (United States), has enabled to achieve data transfers much higher than that obtained so far with traditional devices. The novelty lies in the combination of structures in silicon with organic material, identified by the initials Ddmebt . This is essentially a kind of "nonlinear" device, able to change its molecular structure to the passage of light, making it propagate at high speed. To minimize interference with the passage of data, researchers have vaporized the organic material and the deposit left on the rails of silicon and in the spaces between them. In this way, explain the authors, the molecules are deposited "like snowflakes", forming a highly homogeneous plastic. It is precisely in the interstices between the rails of silicon, filled with new material, that the light passes at high speed, allowing you to transmit data up to 170 Gigabit per second (with the traditional structures, which consist only of silicon, you can reach a maximum speed around 20-30 Gigabit per second). Combining silicon with an architecture was needed to channel and confine the flow of light within very small spaces (the guide of silicon is separated by a few tens of nanometers).
