You’re walking through a Japanese forest on the southern island of Kyushu. Among the trees you hear the sounds of bird song. A gentle breeze rustles the leaves. A melody you’ve heard before rings faintly through the air. What is that? Bach.  This magical experience is real, thanks to Creative Director Morihiro Harano and his

As anyone who’s ever spent any time there can tell you, Chicago is called ‘the Windy City’ with good reason. In winter, when there’s a stiff breeze blowing off Lake Michigan pedestrians often feel more like popsicles than people, making getting in out of the bitter cold a priority.

A team of researchers in Melbourne, Australia, have discovered that adding millions of discarded face masks to road-paving mixtures lowered the environmental impact of the masks, and the cost of the road. Just one kilometer of road would need three million masks, and the polypropylene plastic used to make single-use surgical face masks actually increased

A Goffin’s cockatoo named Figaro and his friends have long been stunning researchers with their ability to craft and use tools to get food, requiring levels of intelligence thought similar to a 3-year-old human. Not possessing the behavior in the wild for making tools, or even beaks normally thought of as tool-making beaks, three of these

Scottish scientists have developed a system of lasers that melt away cancer cells without damaging normal healthy cells. The revolutionary treatment relies on a series of pulses that are short enough to melt the cancer cells, but too short for the heat to transfer to neighboring ones—a major hindrance in past work in the field.
