American theoretical physicist Richard Feynman (1918-1988) changed our world forever with his groundbreaking discoveries involving subatomic particles, quantum electrodynamics, quantum computing, his introduction of nanotechnology, and so much more. He was the recipient of the Albert Einstein Award in 1954, the National Medal of Science in 1979, and in 1965 he won the Nobel Prize in Physics. With such a vast understanding of how our Universe functions at both the hyper-micro and hyper-macro scale, Feynman’s thoughts on the nature of beauty carry such enormous weight it’s an absolute treasure to listen to him speak in the beautifully edited video above…

20 years ago Marlon Brando had a series of 3D scans made of his head, an experiment which came from his interest in the digital preservation of actors’ performances with emerging technology. Various facial expressions of Brando were captured, and now in the new documentary, Listen To Me Marlon, the scans are brought to life using 3D animation mixed with Brando quoting from Macbeth’s final soliloquy. Producer Alex Webster tells The New York Times, “We would have been able to rebuild him in CG looking at photographs but [director Stevan Riley] really wanted the authentic, analog version of the original…

As Slovenian opera singer, Ambroz Bajec-Lapajne, underwent brain surgery in the Netherlands to remove a tumor, he had the procedure filmed. Surgeons had Ambroz perform Schubert’s “Gute Nacht” during the surgery so they could monitor his ability to sing and recognize they key change. At around the 2:45 mark he fades off, then moments later he begins again. “I’m just a singer and tenor at that,” he said in an interview later. “I believe he rewired my brain for a while and that was the result. I could not control my tongue anymore and could not stop phonating. It was a…

Today is a milestone day in the field of addiction research, as scientists at Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine have announced their discovery of a critical cluster of neurons in the dorsomedial striatum which are responsible for goal-driven behaviors. The breakthrough holds enormous potential for cures for alcoholism and other addictions.

The other night I was watching Antiques Roadshow, and as is usually the case, 9 times out of 10 it’s easy tell right away that the item up for appraisal is a moderate dud. But as soon as the camera zoomed in on this woman’s ornate jade and gold box I knew something was different about it. As you will learn in the video below, the box itself was made by renowned designer-decorator-goldsmith, Edward Farmer, who was based in New York’s Carlyle Hotel from the ’20s through the 1940s. But there’s much more to the fascinating story as you will see…

We are becoming increasingly bombarded with ‘ideas’. But are there other ways of knowing that could enable us to experience the world more richly? Writer and philosopher Robert Rowland Smith investigates. From TED talks to panel debates, we are becoming increasingly bombarded with ideas. But it’s not as if we don’t want them. When it comes to ideas, we seek them out. We believe they are the source of innovation and inspiration.
