Tasering just isn't for 10 year olds, a UK man invented a lobster zapper that some feel is more humane than just tossing them in boiling water. I would like to try this electric lobster they speak of. Looking at the photo, it looks like two big metal plates that "zap"...

MAKE Magazine Putting together a microscope set
I've been working on microscope sets for Maker Shed. Until now, the only microscope set the Shed carried was the Thames & Kosmos TK2. That's a decent set, at under $100, but it's still a toy. We wanted some better sets, so I put together three, which we imaginatively named the Basic Microscope Set, Intermediate Microscope Set, and Advanced Microscope Set....

MAKE Magazine Two circulating beams bring first collisions in the LHC
An update... Two circulating beams bring first collisions in the LHC. Every time we have a post about the LHC the crazy comes out of the woodwork proclaiming the world is going to end if the machine is operational, it didn't, so let's call a bonkers truce, ok? :) Today the LHC circulated two beams simultaneously for t...he first time, allowing the operators to test the synchronization of the beams and giving...Read More
