Roger Hiorns: seizure. 21524

In his latest installation, Seizure, British artist Roger Hiorns has turned the idea of sculpture inside out. Rather than present a sculpture inside an architectural space, hes turned every surface of the architectural space into sculpture. More →

Eco-nightclub Opens: Powered by Dancers 21264

The venue's dancefloor is made up of wooden boards. But underneath are crystals which compress when people tread above them and as they move an electrical current is generated. This "piezoelectricity" is fed back into the club's energy supply powering all its lights and air conditioning. It's even thought there will be a bit left over to power nearby homes in London's Kings Cross district. More →

World's first Blue Roses 21191

They are the stuff of legend - signifying mystery and traditionally believed to be able to grant the owner youth.

The Sweet Tea Line 20916

The oldest sweet tea recipe in print comes from a community cookbook called Housekeeping in Old Virginia , by Marion Cabell Tyree, published in 1879. However, it is known that recipes and traditions preceded this publication by several decades. Sweet Tea grew in popularity with it's public introduction at the 1904 World's Fair. Today Sweet Tea is undoubtedly sill popular wherever it is available. In 1999, Americans drank 50 billion servings of tea, that's about half the population consuming a cup or glass every day. Eighty-five percent of that tea was iced. More →

Sperm trains and promiscuous rodents 20635

I had always pictured sperm as little tadpoles but it turns out that rodent sperm actually have some rather nasty looking hooks on their heads. Scientists were not sure what the purpose of these hooks was. Some guessed they were just for aerodynamics while others had observed sperm using their hooks to link up and form cooperative groups.
