Meet Lizzy! Also known as Owl Kitty, she is the latest sensation that has hit Instagram and you can see why. Cats are well known for their skills at hunting, manipulating humans to get treats, and winding up the family dog. But did you know they are also excellent at acting? Well, some of them are.
Her cat dad, Thibault Charroppin, is a talented video editor and he decided to put his and her skills to good use by creating these hilarious movie clips. Her amazing performances have captured the hearts of her 445k Instagram following with some of the videos gathering over one million views.
We think she’s a star in the making, take a look and I’m sure that you’ll agree.
The future is here. Technology that used to exist strictly in the realm of Sci-Fi movies, and for astronauts, is now available to all.
Developed by NASA in the late 1960s to help astronauts stay alive while in orbit and away from the earth’s magnetic field, PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) Therapy is a treatment designed to help the health of the body’s cells by pulsing magnetic waves.

HISTORY’s new series “The Strongest Man In History,” will send four of the world’s leading strongmen;—Brian Shaw, Eddie Hall, Robert Oberst and Nick Best—on a journey across the world to seek out history’s most legendary titans of strength, celebrate their feats of fortitude, immerse themselves in their history and attempt to break their long-standing records, some of which have endured for hundreds of years.
Artificial neural networks were created to imitate processes in our brains, and in many respects – such as performing the quick, complex calculations necessary to win strategic games such as chess and Go – they’ve already surpassed us. But if you’ve ever clicked through a CAPTCHA test online to prove you’re human, you know that our visual cortex still reigns supreme over its artificial imitators (for now, at least). So if schooling world chess champions has become a breeze, what’s so hard about, say, positively identifying a handwritten ‘9’? This explainer from the US YouTuber Grant Sanderson, who creates maths videos under the moniker 3Blue1Brown, works from a program designed to identify handwritten variations of each of the 10 Arabic numerals (0−9) to detail the basics of how artificial neural networks operate. It’s a handy crash-course – and one that will almost certainly make you appreciate the extraordinary amount of work your brain does to accomplish what might seem like simple tasks.

The work of a sleepwalking artist offers a glimpse into the fertile slumbering brain.
I know it’s an old movie (and it was an even older book before that), but I want to look at the physics of the special submarine drive in The Hunt for Red October. In the story, the Russians build a so-called “caterpillar drive” using hydro-magneto power instead of the traditional propeller. This new drive is way quieter than the traditional type—so quiet that it could sneak up on the United States and blow it up. Spoiler alert: It doesn’t.
Here is the cool part: This magnetohydrodynamic drive, which turns water into a sort of rotor, is a real thing. (Although technically in the book version this drive is something other than magnetohydrodynamic. Quibbles.) In fact, it’s pretty simple to build. All you really need is a battery, a magnet, and some wires. Oh, also this will have to operate in salt water, so you might need some salt. Here is the basic setup.
