It might not be rocket science, but it is physics!

Digital filmmaker Fran�ois Vautier installed an ant colony in his scanner and scanned it every week for five years. The movie he made of the results is fairly astonishing. It's high-tech ruin porn at insect scale.

I can’t even calculate how many hours of my life I wasted solving word searches. Given many of those hours were spent on the john, it still feels like a whole lot of time gone that could have been used for doing something productive, like curing cancer or threatening robotic babies or inventing the iPad. But I guess it was ...

These gorgeous futuristic watches by designer Jacques Fournier caught my eye because of their modern style and sleek finish. The Mystery features four different time zones on four separate face plates while the Moontek is slightly more conventional, featuring a gorgeous Tourbillon and a jumping hour feature inspired by space travel, a feature everybody will need when we’re all evacuated ...

Spotted over at Design Miami, this exhibit features an LCD screen with a man drawing, then erasing, then redrawing a clock for every minute, or every hour for a loop period of 12-hours.

The numbers are read via measuring tape which revolves to tell the time. Thankfully there are a few ...

Here I am, scared out of my wits about anything too extreme for my fragile geeky body, and this poor little guy, measuring a tiny fraction of my size, bungee jumps 24 times a day. I feel ashamed. Very ashamed. The Jongchul Kim’s Bungee Jumping Clock features a little man who jumps out of his little cubby and bounces around ...
