This Helmet Will Help You Experience Dementia
Dementia is perhaps one of the most feared diagnoses one can ever receive. The thought of completely forgetting your family member's faces and to wonder off into a closed-off world is frightening. It is, however, a reality for a lot of people and sometimes medication does not seem to help. For peopl ...
20 Mind-Bending 3D Body Paintings By Lisha Simpson

This time around we are going to have a look at the mind-bending 3D body paintings by artist Lisha Simpson. Remember, when you have a look at t ...
These Robot Plants Can Learn How To Grow Just Like Your Real Plants
The future of robotics is fascinating but creepy. Robots can be programmed to 'feel emotions' (or at least look like they can) and behave very much like people. We have seen a taste of what the world of robotics might be like someday in all the sci-fi movies we've watched. But what if it turns out t ...
Science Inspired Drinkware Turns Your Kitchen Into A Chemistry Lab
If you're a chemistry geek, have you ever been in the lab and thought a beaker or a flask might make a cool drinking glass? I have.

The Difference Between Geeks & Nerds Based On Twitter Research [Chart]
Every time I hear someone refer to a geek as a nerd, I cringe. To me, the differences between geeks and nerds are so obvious, and I don't know how so many people can be so confused about it. Of course, that is assuming my definition of each one is correct, which could be flawed logic. It seems like ...
Chrome Experiment Turns Every Website Into A Maze Game
I think we are all aware of the constant battle that browsers rage on each other. Each browser tries to get all the users, and they promote their browser and features. I think anyone who is browsing the web knows there are more and more browsers made available. It's a jungle that is sometimes hard t ...

Before I show you how to yank a big 'ol sack of DNA right out from a strawberry, let me ask, did you know that fruit has DNA? I didn't. It turns out t ...
What Your Handwriting Reveals About Your Personality
Did you know that your handwriting reveals some things about your personality to those who read it? It's true. I barely know how to write anymore since I type everything. I wonder what that says about my personality. About a year ago, I read that some schools are considering not teaching students ho ...
The Little Lego Man That Was Sent Into Space
When I was in school, a science experiment consisted of putting some vinegar and baking soda into a plastic pop bottle. I think I got gypped. Just look at what two Canadian teenagers, Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad did in their spare time. The young duo is making news for taking pictures of a Lego Man ...
Wipeout: Awesome Demo Of Real Life Quantum Levitation Racing
Not too long ago, I wrote about a really cool quantum levitation showcase that bent the laws of physics with the help of some magnets and a bit of liquid nitrogen. It is, as some people say, the only way we will ever see real hoverboards in the future. It was a really well received article, and I th ...
This 365 Day Exposure Photo Looks Like A Time-Lapse Painting
We've all heard of 365 day photography projects. One of our guest writers, Steve Crandall, even wrote about one yesterday. I bet you've never seen a 365 day photography project like this before though. This blows my mind! It's not even so much about the photograph. It's more about the commitment and ...
Liquid Fonts: An Awesome Type Experiment
I am used to checking out at least a dozen new fonts each day. Why? Well, because I am a designer, and I need some inspiration sometimes. I am sure all you designers out there know what I am talking about. Looking at new fonts is one of the best ways to really get a boring uninspired day going. If y ...
Crazy Glow Stick Experiment: Let There Be Light!
My first contact, visually that is, with glow sticks was when I watched some movie for the first time. It was a lot of years ago, but I still remember the cool attitude those puppies gave off. I was mesmerized by the light and the simplicity of how they worked. I don't exactly remember which movie i ...
Crazy Optical Illusion: Creates Picassos In Your Peripherals
An undergraduate student at The University of Queensland, Sean Murphy, discovered something vey interesting about the way our eyes perceive information. Actually, I don't know if interesting is the right way to describe it. It's really grotesque and scary. One person on Reddit described it as creati ...
Crazy Extreme Sticky Note Experiment
We all know that sticky notes can serve a lot of different purposes besides just being little notepads. We've seen countless examples of that through the years here at Bit Rebels.
