The red mass on the left is a malignant brain tumor and the red color shows where the brain will affected during the surgery including the patient's vision, perception and motor function. The blue color is the area that unlikely to be affected. The whole image helps the neurosurgeons like a road map as they plan their operations.

I think it would be lots of fun to learn about the physics of special relativity while playing a game. You have to lead a green dinosaur wearing a blue cape and moves at nearly the speed of light. The world around you behaves according to Albert Einstein's theory of relativity.Play Velocity Raptor here

This video shows a new method of magnifying subtle changes normally invisible to the eye. A team of computer scientist analyzes each pixel for light variations in color over time. After that they apply an algorithm that magnifies the variation and extract the information they need.
