iPhone 4 Drop Test !

There's been a lot of fuss about the iPhone 4's Gorilla Glass "custom glass" comparable in strength to sapphire crystal but 30 times harder than plastic. Sounds incredible, right ? But make no mistake, that front glass panel will still break if dropped. Ok, it took four deliberate attempts to accomplish what you see but it still happened. Bottom line : like any hand phones, you'll have to worry about more than just scratches.

Diet Coke And Mentos-Powered Car Is A Blast !

Lexus LFA Breaks Champagne Glass With Science !

The world hasn't heard too much from the Toyota supercar since the carbon fiber wonder hit the scene last year, but that doesn't mean the company hasn't been playing with its new toy. Toyota just released a new spot featuring the V10 beast roaring to life and shattering a champagne glass with nothing but its exhaust note. We're well aware that skepticism is the internet's middle name, but Toyota claims that it hired a physicist to figure out exactly what kind of glass would resonate at the same frequency as the LFA exhaust.
