Japanese company Astrum, owners of the Pentel brand, let ProcessX tour their factory to see how they make millions of sign pens annually. These felt-tip pens are popular for drawing, lettering, and calligraphy, and their production is surprisingly satisfying, as barrels, fillers, and caps dance through machines before being filled with ink and packed into
A model airplane fanatic in China shows how they build and fly mini jet airplanes with a first-person view (FPV) camera inside their cockpits. The detailed instrument panel is amazing and even has a working horizon indicator. Its human pilot sits on the ground wearing VR goggles to control its miniature pilot. Original video via
What If Animations creates time-lapse videos that envision hypothetical events over the course of time. In this clip, they show what it might be like if everyone were going about their business and the Earth’s rotation slowed to a crawl and stopped. Going from 1037 to 0 MPH isn’t pretty. They also envisioned what it
Modern humans appeared about 300,000 years ago, but complex organized societies only emerged about 12,000 years ago.Kurzgesagt digs into humanity’s distant past and how technology like DNA sequencing, mathematical modeling, and aerial and lidar archaeology have provided a better picture than ever of the world’s earliest societies.
Filmmaker Seán Doran’s River of Light takes us on a journey above Earth, revealing spectacular auroras dancing across the atmosphere. Created using footage by astronauts aboard the ISS, the film combines thousands of restored photographs with interpolated frames to produce crisp, smooth, UHD visuals. Stellardrone’s ethereal music adds to the atmosphere.
Chester See and his pal Matt Søren go inside a disaster simulation center in Hangzhou, China, where visitors experience extreme weather and learn survival skills in a controlled environment. For around $130, participants face 100 mph typhoon winds and rain, a simulated flash flood involving 900 tons of water, and a parking garage that floods
Angine de Poitrine is the breakout band of 2026, and the accolades for their musicianship are well deserved. Fans of the alt-rock space aliens will want to grab these insulated polka-dot tumblers and mugs from HydroJug, coincidentally covered with the black-and-white polka-dots that match the band’s trademark style. Rock out with your dots out!
How hot or cold can the universe get? Space Explainer takes an illustrated trip through its most extreme temperatures, from the frigid reaches of deep space to the searing heat of stellar cores and the early universe. Along the way, we learn the physics behind these extremes and where everyday Earth temperatures fit on this
TierZoo zooms in on billfish like the swordfish, marlin, and sailfish. These predators share long, spear-like bills for slashing through schools of fish and stunning prey. From struggling to survive as tiny larvae to sporting awkward teenage overbites and finally jabbing their lunch as adults, they grow into some of the most powerful fish you
Humans tend to imagine advanced alien civilizations building spaceships and traveling between galaxies. But what if true progress means thinking smaller? Kurzgesagt explores the Barrow Scale, which measures progress by the ability to manipulate tiny structures. Controlling things like atoms and molecules might be the true key to mastering the universe.
