Lonely (and Ultra-rare) ‘lefty’ snail seeks mate for love – and genetic study

Actually, his name is Jeremy. Jeremy the snail is looking for love. We've read the potential partner can be sent from Canada also but they'd prefer if you send a photo first since one of the things they're seeing is that people get really confused about left and right and how to identify them. It would be best to email or tweet them a photo...

Scientists at The University of Nottingham hoping to study the genetics of an ultra-rare garden snail are asking the public for its help in finding the lonely mollusc a mate.
The snail’s unique qualities make it a one in a million find - but also impossible for it to mate with its more common counterparts. 

At first glance, the brown garden snail may look like any other but closer inspection of the snail’s shell reveals exactly why this creature is so special. 

While the shells of this common species spiral in a right-handed, clockwise direction – known as dextral – the Nottingham snail is a sinistral, with a left-handed anti-clockwise spiralling shell. In essence, the ‘lefty’ snail is a mirror image of its other shell-dwelling friends.

University of Nottingham

Davison is asking people to be on the look out for lefty snails. "This is something which everyone can get involved with and which you can easily do on your own doorstep. It is an example of citizen science at its best. There is a chance, because it is such a rare thing, that anyone who can find and identify another of these sinistral snails may even find themselves named as a contributor on a research paper we publish in the future as a result of this." 

Anyone who finds a mate for Jeremy is asked to send pictures of it to angus.davison@nottingham.ac.uk or tweet it with the hashtag #snaillove.

This unconventional keyboard is a must-have for power-programmers

There are tons of ergonomics-focused office products out there, many of which cater to the prevention of wrist and hand ailments like carpal tunnel syndrome.

The Kinesis Advantage Pro keyboard might be one of the most extreme redesigns of your run-of-the-mill keyboard. But those with typing-heavy jobs such as Business Insider's principal engineer Kip Demane love the health benefit along with the increased productivity the unconventional key layout delivers.

Sacramento Is About to Have the Most High-Tech Basketball Stadium

One hundred percent solar powered? A Wi-Fi network that can "handle over 500,000 Snapchat posts per second"? Wow. Wonder why Sacramento, California though? Well, as quoted from recode:

Just over two years ago, former tech CEO and then-Warriors minority owner Vivek Ranadivé purchased the NBA’s Sacramento Kings, ending a long tug-of-war that almost resulted in the team’s relocation to Seattle. As part of the deal, Ranadivé promised the NBA he’d build the Kings a new stadium in Sacramento before the 2017 NBA season.

When the new Kings basketball stadium is completed this fall, they hope it’ll be so outrageously technologically advanced that it will even wow fans from Silicon Valley.

BEAM Expansion Time Lapse (NASA's Inflatable Room)

It took over 3 days, but NASA finally inflated BEAM (Bigelow Expandable Activity Module), aka the expandable/inflatable room - the first of it's kind...

This short time-lapse video shows the complete Bigelow Aerospace BEAM expansion from start to finish to its full expanded, pressurized volume on Saturday, April 28. BEAM was installed April 16 on the Tranquility module after being delivered aboard the SpaceX Dragon cargo craft.

Williams and his five crewmates will have to wait a week before venturing inside. NASA wants to make certain the chamber is airtight before opening the door. It was NASA's second shot at inflating the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module, or BEAM, named for the aerospace company that built it as a precursor to moon and Mars habitats, and orbiting tourist hotels.

BEAM barely expanded during Thursday's inflation attempt. Experts believe the soft-sided compartment was packed up tight for so long before last month's launch that the fabric layers had trouble unfolding.

Futuristic straddling bus allows cars running underneath

Cost less than subway systems? Reduces air pollution?  Eases up traffic jams and tail gases? Could it be possible? Just imagine driving THROUGH this bus - while it's driving through you. Freakeh! We've discovered an old video from 2010 about this straddling bus, so although it may be new to us now, the concept was already in the making way back when...

The design of electric "straddling buses" lets cars drive underneath them, and can help reduce air pollution. Also known as land airbus, the new invention is less costly than subway systems.

New China TV

Youzhou Song (bus designer) presents a giant bus that drive over cars translated into English and with English caption subtitle. China will build some huge buses that will allow smaller cars to pass by under them in order to relief urban traffic.

What does Liquid Nitrogen do to Your Face?

Apparently not what we thought it would. We also included a second video of the Liquid Nitrogen Balloon experiment he talked about in this video...

If a drop of LN2 hits someone in the eye, will they go blind?

Will the balloon freeze and crack, and spill liquid nitrogen everywhere? ...Or will the liquid stay inside? And if so, what happens next?

Does Captain America's Electromagnet Shield Work?

Somebody went and created a real working Captain America's shield...

Ever wonder what it would be like to have the power of magneto strapped to your arm combined with Captain America’s symbolic shield? We did. So we decided to find out. Catching, throwing, shielding, smashing, shooting, running through walls, punching though doors, funny cats! We do it all for your entertainment.

This is one of the best and most fun projects to date. The electromagnet arm bracer is wicked powerful.

 

We made this awesome electromagnet arm bracer for the Replica Captain America shield, just in time for Captain America: Civil War. It uses a set of lithium-polymer batteries from Hobby King (http://fave.co/1VycT2u) running in series at 72V. This produces 720kg of magnetic force at each electromagnet. That's over 3000lbs of magnetic lifting force together!

The electromagnets are available on Amazon (http://fave.co/1qinRvO), and are rated for 12V, which produces ~120kg (1200N) of lifting force. We're running them at a much higher voltage for short periods of time to create awesome power. They will overheat if you use them for over a minute at this power level!
