An awesome video taken from the window of a passanger airplane, of a thunderstorm. You've never seen lightning so close ever, and that's why you shouldn't miss this video. Very spectacular! Enjoy the lightning show!

Here's a cool compilation of airplane low passes that will make your spine tingle! Simply magnificent!

A truck has an accident on a highway overpass, and all it's cargo (lemons) is spilled onto the road below. So...who's up for a limonade, then?

As we all know, the last thing an airplane pilot wants to see in front of him, are birds. In this case, the Mirage pilot pulled out at the right time, and avoided the flock of seabirds. Lucky escape!

Heh. This Russian airplane pilot thought it would be cool, to fly below tree level on the highway. He probably gave a good scare to the motorists, but it's all good, clean fun

A pretty cool vid with a dude in Venice making a cat out of molten glass in approximately 1 minute. It takes serious skills, which are passed from father to son from generations to learn traits like this one! Enjoy!

Here's an incredible compilation with air force jets, doing some stunning low altitude passes, and even breaking the sound barrier while doing it. It's so beautiful, that it sends shivers down your spine! Enjoy!

An incredibly low pass done by an F-16 pilot. Any lower, and he would've made the headlines in the US. This is the stuff I like! Enjoy!

This is a really cool video clip. It shows what a bullet filmed in slow motion can do to different objects: fruits, soda cans, bottles....It's actually quite amazing to see how they explode after the bullet passes. Anyway, enjoy this bullet slow motion video!

By the look of the video it happened a long time ago, but it's still funny. It takes some hearing problems not to hear a gun shot. Look at his surprised face when he sees the other runners pass him by!

A straight to DVD release featuring the famous Lorenzo Lamas. I can't understand what the producers were thinking when they created this movie. Amongst the weird stuff there's a shark eating a passanger airplane (yes, it can jump that high), an octopus which can destroy fighter jets with a swing of its tentacle, and the shark (again) which takes a bite out of San Francisco's bridge (I think). Anyway...bring on the beer and I might just watch it.

Yup! He probably missed the road sign telling him that he won't make it under the bridge. The result? Well among the weirdest I've ever seen

Somebody mounted a camera on a rotating sushi table. It's interesting to see the reaction of the different Japanese people sitting there, as the camera passes them by. Amusing and interesting. Enjoy!

This guy must have seen his whole life pass before his eyes...Or maybe he didn't have the time for that as he reacted so fast, that you have to watch the replay to see how the heck he didn't get hit. Anyway, it was his lucky day!

Artist Willard Wigan creates ultraprecision. This is precision work done by people and seems seems to have surpassed even machinery in the kind of details this guy is able to create. Does anyone want a statue of liberty sculpture that can fit in the ear of a needle?

A tornado hit Poland recently, and this bus was too close for comfort. The winds were so incredibly strong, that they flipped the bus over with all the passagers! That's simply amazing!

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.

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).

The new devices can operate at 30 degrees above zero, rather than less than 70. This is the characteristic of the new generation of semiconductors, researched at the Italian Institute for the Physics of Matter (INFM-CNR), and in the Ludwig Maximilian University in Monaco of Bavaria and the ETH Zurich (the study). Today there are two ways to record information on a medium: the electronic format, in which the binary language is the passage of electrons (the transistors) and magnetic (MRAM memory), more recently, in which the binary language is given by state of magnetization. To communicate these two systems could boost significantly the computational schemes, pending the distant quantum computer. Doubling the processing power and memory of a chip while maintaining the size, without the need to go in nano-scale (a scale, that is, a billionth of a meter) are just two of the technology that promises magnetic semiconductors suggest a near future. These devices were made over ten years ago, but so far required temperatures far below zero to work. The problem now seems outdated as the known semiconductors gallium arsenide containing traces of manganese, a metal which has ferromagnetic properties at around 200 degrees below zero. To increase the temperature threshold, above which the ferromagnetic behavior disappears, the researchers deposited on a semiconductor film of iron - metal known for its magnetic properties - the thickness of a few nanometers. Iron and manganese interacted so effectively that the new material, has a ferromagnetic behavior up to 30 degrees above zero, a jump of over a hundred degrees above the starting temperature. This result is a technological response parallel to that of the race to miniaturization and the research was selected the American Physical Society as one of the most important published in Physical Review Letters

The switch that turns off and on to command the superconducting property of the new device is a trivial electric field. In practice, what has been done by Andrea Ankle and colleagues at the University of Geneva in the first superconducting transistors. The operation, represents a milestone of applied physics and paves the way for the development of a new generation of microchips - and therefore computers - much faster than at present. To understand how and why the device is considered so promising it must be from another discovery, made last year by the same group of university research in Switzerland and published in Science. In one study, physicists have created a single crystal in which two metal oxides (strontium titanate and lanthanum aluminate) are separated. Between these two materials, researchers have found a layer of free electrons (electronic cloud) and 0.3 Kelvin - that is just above absolute zero - traveling without any resistance. At that temperature, the crystal becomes a superconductor. Scientists have now discovered how to turn off and turn on the superconductivity of this crystal at will, or modules, simply by applying an electric field to the point of contact between the two oxides. The result is a version of superconductive field effect transistors (FET) devices known in applied physics, able to switch from one state to a semiconductor insulator, and basic digital information in electronics (the fact that the current can pass or not is used as a binary 1-0 to store information). As the field effect transistors is a semiconductor, however, it always has resistance to the passage of current. This means that the speed at which you can get the electrons when the device is "on" is limited which means heat develops beyond a certain limit. This side effect is damaging the transistor. A superconducting transistor, however, can pass electrons (and record information) much more quickly, as it does not oppose any resistance to the passage of current and, therefore, not heat. There remains the problem of extremely low temperatures required for superconductivity. A limit that research is a long time trying to overcome.
