Billions of years in the future on a very different Earth, the zombie parasite mushroom spreads from victim to victim without resistance. On the shores of the acid sea a Honey Fire Ant meets its fate at the relentless mandibles of its infected brethren in this animated short created by T. Mikey and animated by Kevin Fanning.
The conflict continues in the pages of the 12-issue limited series, Quantum Binary: A Deep Time Botanical Paradox.
Imagine getting a tattoo… that can track your health, location, or identity — and you don’t even need a device. Sounds like sci-fi? It’s real. Scientists have developed futuristic electronic tattoos that use special ink to monitor your body in real-time — from heart rate to hydration — and even transmit data without chips or batteries. But here’s the catch… could this breakthrough be the future of medicine? Or is it a step too close to surveillance under your skin?
Let’s explore how these tattoos work, what they can really do, and the wild implications they might have for your health — and your privacy.

Despite all this, we are still newcomers – untrained pilots steering an ancient, ever-changing planet. If we want to survive long-term and continue to grow, we will have to make bigger technological leaps than ever before.
This film explores the wildest, most ambitious, most dangerous ideas to keep Earth and humanity thriving, by protecting each of its layers – from the lithosphere to the stratosphere.
Many of our ideas may never materialize, but by dreaming them up, we can open our minds to the full potential of human willpower and intellect. The future is ours to build. — Thanks for watching everybody.
Research led by Aarhus University in Denmark reports that individuals with substance use disorders experience a heightened urge to move in response to music with complex rhythms and harmonies.
Long-term use of cocaine and heroin disrupts dopamine signaling in the brain, depleting receptors and diminishing the effects of non-drug stimuli, such as music, to trigger pleasure.
Prior research has shown that music can activate dopaminergic pathways involved in reward, anticipation, and movement. Groove, the pleasurable urge to move to music, follows an inverted-U pattern in healthy listeners, peaking when rhythms fall into a sweet spot of moderate rhythmic complexity. Most people feel the strongest compulsion to move their bodies to the beat when those beats are neither too simple nor too unpredictable.
