Tell us about your new single ‘Scarlet’

“'Scarlet’ was a combination of many things at the time. The initial idea was easy to get down but completing it and giving it the respect that it deserves was a little more tough, which is possibly the reason it’s my most intricate production to date. For me 'Scarlet’ represents a second wind, a breath of fresh air; the moment you’re reborn and start thinking clearly again.”

Bots you can’t ignore

Bite-sized bots at Vanderbilt University, drumming bots at Georgia Tech, and touchy-feely bots at UCLA… it’s all about ‪‎National Robotics Week‬ at Science360 Radio this weekend. Download the Science360 Radio app to hear our featured podcasts about cutting edge robotics‬ research.

Above: Founding director of the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology Gil Weinberg created a robotic drumming prosthesis with motors that power two drumsticks. The first stick is controlled physically by the musician’s arms and electronically by his muscles. The other stick on the prosthesis actually “listens” to the music and plays on its own.  Credit: Rob Felt/Georgia Tech Story: http://www.news.gatech.edu/2014/03/05/robotic-prosthesis-turns-drummer-three-armed-cyborg

Four Popular Coffee Myths, Debunked by Science

You crave it in the morning, you wait in long lines for it, and I’m drinking it while I write this: coffee is everywhere. But that means misinformation about it is everywhere too. Coffee doesn’t rob you of water, sober you up, or keep your children short, so let’s grind up these myths and brew a hot pot of truth.

Really nice recipes. Every hour.
