Liquid metal technology. That’s Terminator 2 stuff, right? Well you better start running now, John Connor, because it’s here. A new, flexible, conductive nano-coating lets liquid metal keep its form by transforming under high pressure, and then springing right back. More »
If you want a colorful explosion, you can get your hands on some fancy, professional fireworks, sure. Or, you can take the easy way out and blow up a couple of buckets of paint. You’ll be like a Jackson Pollock with a case of M-80s. The Slow Mo Guys went with that second option, and the results are modern art you can get behind. More »
