When you think of prosthetics, you think of something made for some with a disability — and rightly so. But designer Dani Clode designed the Third Thumb to change the way we think about prosthetics — by augmenting what's already there and enhancing what humans can do.
Dubai's Atlantis, The Palm is home to the Aquaventure Waterpark.

The Lonely Island were asked to write a song for the 90th Academy Awards ceremony. If you actually watched the Oscars, you're probably scratching your head wondering how you missed it.

Based in Brooklyn, New York, graphic designer Scott Reinhard combines vintage maps with elevation data to create stunning pieces of art. Reinhard uses a chromogenic process to create each print, which takes traditional color photography development and integrates 3-dimensional data with paper maps for a result that is so visually appealing, you'll be tempted to reach out and feel what looks like 3D texture. The process brings the maps to life, creating a 2D print that is vibrant and detailed giving you a unique work of art that blends history and modern technology. In addition to the topographic maps, Reinhard creates compelling digitally rendered maps and has even adopted his technique to the surface of the moon.
Choose from map prints of Death Valley, Rocky Mountain National Park, Glacier National Park, Joshua Tree, Marfa, Texas, Hudson, New York, or a digital rendering of all the buildings in New York City.

Equal parts fascinating and creepy, Brazilian artist Juliana LePine sculpts an identical version of a miniature Doc Brown. She starts with a tiny skull, recreating the Back to the Furture character perfectly right down to his Nike Vandal Supremes.
At the end of every record is the lock groove. It keeps the needle from skittering off the record and being damaged on the sticker. Usually, there isn't any audio, but that changed with the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper and its rather creepy loop. Steve Mould shows how being a little creative with something that only serves a very utilitarian function makes vinyl special.
Created in Solingen, Germany, using a single piece of stainless steel, this chef's knife is ready to be the most important tool in your kitchen.
