Bodypaint expert Victoria Gugenheim paints a design of genetic imagery taken from scientific literature on model Jessica Brown, as part of a new piece in the Guardian. The design includes an X chromosome on her leg, and a DNA helix on her torso with the visualization of the BRCA1 gene, linked to breast cancer.
Asus' new VivoMouse looks like the stuff of future. It mixes a full, multi-touch gesture with good old fashioned point and click.
The device is basically the same as Apple's Magic Mouse, but sexier perhaps. It has no buttons, so you probably have to emulate a click by tapping on it.
The European Space Agency released a stunning image of Mars's north polar ice cap on the 10th anniversary of the ESA’s Mars Express mission launched on 2 June 2003.

Is this Star Trek or this is real space? What do you think?
You're looking at the sun. A member of Expedition 36, the newly installed ISS crew, snapped this impressive shot as the station recently passed over Minnesota. While he's no Chris Hadfield just yet, we may yet see some more interesting stuff coming our way. Hopefully.
A pistol shrimp can snap its claw so fast that the sound actually turns into light. Scientists still don't know how that's possible. It's so comic book, but its real life, son.
MinutePhysics explains that this phenomenon is called "sonoluminescence," and it is easy to reproduce albeit difficult to understand.
Home reorganization isn't as simple as one tasks it to be sometimes. That's if you don't have an imagination at all. But if you're in trouble in that department, it's nice to know that there are apps out there that can give you a hand with it. Here are a couple of them.
If only you had a machine to remember what you dreamt about the night before? What if we could actually invent something to record our dreams? Would that be possible?
AsapSCIENCE dives into the mysterious world of dreaming to answer that question on whether or not it is possible to get technology and software to translate our dreams into actual recordings. I'd imagine there would be a lot of horror stories[AsapSCIENCE]
Using a computer back in the 80s would have been tough. So what if Wikipedia existed back in the 80s. How would it have looked like or have been used?
SquirrelMonkeyCom shows just how much trouble computing was in the 1980s. That's right, we need a time machine back to the 2000s.[SquirrelMonkeyCom via Laughing Squid]
You know science sucks when it tells you that dinosaurs had feathers, or something other you thought to be true but is not, no thanks to science. There goes what we were taught, and what we can imagine.
