The Art of Listening
It's a long journey from an idea, to a song, to a record, to your stereo or phone or car, and finally — to your ears. From the makers of instruments to composers, producers, and engineers, the fingerprints of hundreds of people are indelibly stamped on the music we hear. The Art of Listening goes in-depth with the people who make music happen every day for the listening public.
Trappist-1 Exoplanet System
Just 40 light-years away, NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has just discovered seven rocky Earth-like planets orbiting the star TRAPPIST-1. Of the seven, at least three appear to be in the habitable zone — meaning liquid water could be found on the surface. If any of these planets also carry oxygen and methane in their atmospheres, the presence of life is highly likely, making your alien dreams closer to a reality. In 2018, NASA plans on launching the James Webb Space Telescope to futher measure the chemical fingerprints of these exoplanets.

Trojan Dual Pleasure Vibrating Ring
Toys made for her often vibrate. The male anatomy only vibrates as much as we can move our body. The Trojan Dual Pleasure Vibrating Ring splits the difference. It's made with a soft-touch ring that helps extend the sessions for him, connected to a ribbed vibrating to stimulate her. Crafted from soft-touch silicone, it's water-resistant to survive wet play, offers eight different intensities for personalized pleasure, and is USB rechargeable so it's good for multiple sessions, no matter how long they last.

How to Rock on an Ancient Instrument
Just because an instrument was invented over 1400 years ago doesn't mean the music has to be.

Hollywood's Science Hotline
Hollywood is great at making movies, but not so great at accurately portraying science and scientific concepts. While we don't want our flying superheroes subject to the reality of gravity, some of Hollywood's attempts at science in film shatter our suspension of disbelief. But hope is not lost — the last several years have seen a resurgence in science fiction and writers and directors that want as much scientific realism as possible. Vox looks at the Science and Entertainment Exchange, a consulting service that connects writers and scientists with the goal of sprinkling our science fiction with a little more science fact.
