Scientists model a Coronavirus’ infectious bits for the first time
Coronaviruses are really good at infecting the respiratory systems of humans and other mammals. Once inside, these viruses can cause pneumonia (if you’re lucky). The strains that become SARS and MERS have a mortality rate as high as 37 percent. Plus, there is currently no antigen for SARS or MERS, which makes them especially dangerous. The virus is so effective because of its “transmembrane spike glycoprotein,” which...
Apple Brings Innovation Back to Television with All-New Apple TV
Watch the films TV is a major part of our lives. We gather together around our big screens to watch big shows and big events. Yet somehow, the overall experience of TV has continued to stagnate.

Ben Heck’s soldered Atari 2600
Watch Ben as he tackles the challenge of soldering the main processing chips of an Atari 2600 into a new configuration. In this episode, he’ll Introduce concepts and tricks such as the optimal layout of wiring between chips, what to do with dry joints and how to lay out passive components between pins on a piece of strip board. It’s almost hypnotic. Join The Ben Heck Show team and suggest builds and projects on the...
