Beneath the hills of Menlo Park, California, scientists at the Stanford Linear Accelerator have worked for the past half century to alter our understanding of the universe. The 3km long structure, where electrons fly at nearly the speed of light, is reputed to be the straightest object on earth. Here’s a peek inside.
Where The Magic Happens: The 15,000kg Pizzeria On A Truck
The humble food truck has evolved from a greasy spoon on wheels into a purveyor of sushi, dumplings and over-the-top desserts.

Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen and The Foo Fighters have something in common with Brooklyn-based musician Neil Shah — they all made great music in a basic home studio. McCartney and Springsteen had a four-track cassette deck, and Dave Grohl used a garage. But Shah’s setup is even more limited — his whole studio measures all of 66 square feet.
