The Milky Way, old news. But what the hell is this scene? A row of stone pyramids in middle-of-nowhere Nevada. Abandoned. And they’ve been derelict for over a century. More »
Like a massive stone puzzle, the Great Pyramid has refused to give up all of its secrets. One of the last are two shafts out of the “Queen’s Chamber”. Purpose? Unknown, even to this day. Robots to the rescue. More »

A particularly optimistic design firm in Dubai called Timelinks has proposed designs for the Ziggurat, a complete city to be layered inside of a massive pyramid that could serve as home for a million people at a time. Timelinks is currently seeking patents for a variety of technologies that would make such a building possible, including a three axis public transportation system that would run residents up, through and across the pyramid. They’ve also claimed that with a hybrid wind, solar and steam power the Ziggurat would be able to meet its own power needs, and that there would be enough room to allow for some minor agriculture in designated “green spaces.”
Researchers at USC’s Information Sciences Institute produced this amazing pyramid, around 30 microns across, which may one day be used to deliver precise micro- or nano-doses of medication. The structures, dubbed “voxels” are made of silicon, cut into flats and then folded up and sealed to enclose tiny volumes of space inside. The team hasn’t stopped at pyramids either— they’ve tried flat envelopes, cubes and partial dodecahedra, but these don’t close together the way the pyramid does.
