Film Meets Art 2
The canvas, the photograph, and the screen are three of the most closely linked art forms. In the second installment of Film Meets Art, even more scenes from the silver screen are juxtaposed with their still counterparts.

The Second Brain
We've often heard of mind control, but what about gut control? The truth is, we don't actually have another brain hiding out in our bodies helping us make decisions, but our gut can influence the decisions we make. As AsapSCIENCE explains, sneaky microbes in our stomach produce both dopamine and serotonin, manipulating our cravings for their own benefit. So maybe you shouldn't always go with your gut.

T-Mobile Postpaid
Switching wireless carriers has traditionally involved enough friction to keep most people exactly where they are, but T-Mobile is trying to remove that excuse with a streamlined digital process designed to get customers through checkout in 15 minutes or less per line. The experience focuses on speed and simplicity, allowing users to switch online or through the T-Life app while keeping the device they already own. To further lower the barrier, T-Mobile's Keep & Switch program offers up to $800 via virtual prepaid card to help pay off eligible phones when customers make the move, creating a proposition that is equal parts convenience and cost savings.

Vita Coco
Vita Coco has become the warm-weather essential for a generation constantly on the move, delivering a cleaner, more functional answer to hydration during another brutal summer of record-breaking heat.

Equal parts refreshing and performance-minded, Vita Coco bridges wellness and lifestyle with an easy-drinking formula that feels just as at home in a gym bag as it does beside a rooftop pool, making it one of the smartest ways to stay cool when temperatures refuse to cooperate.

F1 Pole Position Lap Wheel Adjustments
Imagine driving over 200 MPH around a tight, twisting road in a land rocket and typing on a laptop — that's a pretty close approximation of piloting an Formula One car. Not only are they the fastest cars on the planet, but the steering wheel is cover in buttons that adjust every aspect of the car: brake balance, fuel mixture, engine mapping, and more. This video annotates all the button presses by Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg on a pole position lap at the 2016 Baku City Circuit.
The Origin of Dogs
Dogs have been man's best friends since the dawn of time, or have they? Originating from the gray wolf, humans began domesticating the wild predators as pets thousands of years ago in western Eurasia. But new studies are showing that the wolves were not only domesticated once, but twice before they became the companions we know and love, explored in this animation by Ed Yong.

Augustinus Bader Retinol Serum
Augustinus Bader's The Retinol Serum rethinks traditional retinol treatments with a formula designed to deliver visible skin renewal without the irritation that often comes with high-performance vitamin A products. Powered by the brand's proprietary TFC8 technology alongside pure retinol, the lightweight serum targets fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, blemishes, and hyperpigmentation while supporting hydration and overall skin balance. The result is a more refined approach to retinol, one engineered to improve clarity, firmness, and smoothness without compromising the skin barrier in the process.

PLQR Smart Sticky Note
Private Label QR turns ordinary household labels into dynamic digital reference points, using durable QR stickers that link physical objects to editable information accessible from any smartphone camera. Once attached to a box, appliance, container, suitcase, or keepsake, each label can store notes, photos, instructions, contact details, or organizational data that can be updated anytime without replacing the sticker itself. The system feels especially useful for the kind of real-world friction most smart-home products ignore, from labeling moving boxes and organizing pantry goods to leaving appliance instructions for Airbnb guests or preserving the stories tied to family heirlooms. With no app required and built-in controls for private, public, or group visibility, the platform lands somewhere between modern inventory management and a digital memory layer for everyday objects.

Building A Boeing 737
If you've gotten on a commercial flight, more than likely it was on a Boeing 737. The 140-foot twinjet airliner rules the airways with more than 9,000 produced since their introduction in 1967. In order to get so many into the friendly skies, the company pumps out a completed 737 from their Renton Production Facility at an astonishing pace — just nine days.
How McDonald's Chicken McNuggets are Made
You've had those little golden nuggets of all-white meat. You've also seen the rather terrifying "pink slime" video, which is supposedly the origin of the untold millions of chicken nuggets McDonald's sells. How It's Made takes you into the Tyson factory in Tennessee for the true scoop on where those bits of crispy chicken goodness really come from.
