Welcome to Lab Wars, a simple card game that takes you through the thrills (the rarity of the lab) and the chills of being in the lab and lets you live the pressures faced by Principal Investigators and the Post Docs. The game is all about building your reputation and specializing in your subject area but beware of other players who are trying to build theirs and might go to any levels to damage your reputation.
The game can be played with up to 5 players, who are part of the research team but each with unique set of skills that can enhance his/her reputation. With 80 Lab items up for grabs, you can try and get them to boost your reputation while staying guarded against the action cards that can bring you down or boost your reputation further with bonuses. The best part is that all the cards are based on real events that happen in the lab so that you can live the Lab Life again in a less than an hour. The player who ends up with the highest reputation at the end, wins the game!
But there is a small hurdle to cross. Lab Wars Card Game is still a concept. The team of Kuly Heer and Caezar Al-Jassar has put in all its efforts to design the cards, the gameplay, the beautiful box and needs your support to produce them on a large scale. Labs Wars is now Live on KickStarter and aims to raise £ 5000 to bring their dreams into reality.
Show your support to this wonderful idea by donating or simply spreading the word to as many people as you can. You can follow Lab Wars on Facebook or on Twitter to know more about their campaign.
The game developers were inspired by Michael Brooks book, The Secret Anarchy of Science. To know what inspired them, follow the Amazon Link below.

If you thought sound looks like this, they you are wrong. Well, this is not sound by representation of sound being received or broadcasted by an electronic device. Surely, sound does not reach our ears like this. So what does sound look like?
Well, the good guys at NPR thought they will dwell into this further and decided to record visuals of sound.
Visual you say?
Yes, because, sound travels as waves, it should follow the actions we do and therefore using Schlieren flow visualisation bring us these visuals of sound!
Hold your breath and watch the video!

Most of us carry cell phones, everywhere we go. To work, to the library, to movie screens and even the bathroom (whether you accept it or not). But sometimes, when you are taking a stroll or are busy in a meeting, you suddenly think that your phone just vibrated and you have missed some one's call. You panic, thinking that it must have been really important and when you see the screen, there is nothing, no missed calls, not even a text message.
Ever wondered why does this happen? Ever wondered, what it is called? Ever wondered if you are still sane?
Here's the answer, phantom vibration.
