Our Fascination video series features interviews with notable scientists and technologists, sponsored by Dow Chemical. All the videos are up now, and they’re worth watching. How often do you get to hear these brilliant folks describe why they’re fascinated with what they do?
This installment of EHX’s Effectology series outlines a variety of methods for using their stompboxes to create some rather convincing spookiness.

A photocell soldered between the ground and tip/sleeve terminals of a 1/4″ plug is then connected […]
Join fellow crafters at the Touchstones Art Gallery in Rochdale, UK, for microbe knitting! This event is part of the Manchester Science Festival. Join us for a day of creativity as we ‘knit’ micro-organisms such as Swine Flu, Salmonella and the common cold! Find out more about the microbes we encounter in our everyday lives […]
The buildings in the town of Vercorin in the Swiss Alps contribute to an impressive piece by Felice Varini, called Cercle et suite d’éclats.
