Pinkie Pie clearly knows a thing or two about balloons, as her cutie mark would suggest. We can only speculate about the history of party balloons in Equestria. Did ponies play with blown up pigs' bladders in times past? Or did have more respect for their fellow hooved creatures and only start the party with the invention of rubber membranes?
Horses prefer to look at angry faces and other unpleasant images with their left eye. Who knew?
In this post Twilight will show you how to build your own spectrometer, to split light into all its constituent colours. Like those used by professional astronomers to study distant stars and galaxies.
Checklist! You will need:
One breakfast cereal box
One old CD
Aluminium foil
Sticky Tape
Pair of scissors and a sharp knife (take care not to cut yourself)
A triangle to measure a 60° angle
Some friends to help
I have a new post on my Particle Gadgeteering blog, which is all about pony fiction. However (before you all rush off to read it) this one is not written for you (although you are still welcome to read and comment of course). This is my attempt to explain what I do on Fimfiction to my fellow science communicators, many of whom have only the haziest idea about what fan fiction is, and whose only knowledge of My Little Pony is vague memories of a plastic toy from thirty year ago. This is
“Good morning, Starlight!” Twilight chirped. She took another bite of her pancakes, paused, reviewed her mental schedule, checked the crystal clock hanging on the wall above the kitchen door, swallowed, and spoke again: “I thought your vacation to Pony Hawaii started today?”
Happy World Metrology Day everyone! The international system of units is now redefined. Isn't this exciting? Are you excited ‘cause I'm excited? I've never been so excited... The new kilogram starts today. Well maybe the precise way in which we measure the weight of coffee doesn’t send everyone over the moon, but for those of us working in instrumentation and metrology, this is exciting.
WE ARE ONE STEP CLOSER TO MY STORY

Forget Iron Man: skintight suits are the future of robotic exoskeletons

Yesterday I wrote about the impressive attention to scientific accuracy in the film The Martian. Today is the day to celebrate the other end of the science-themed cinema spectrum, being Back to the Future Day – 21 October 2015, the date visited by time travellers Marty McFly and Doc Brown in the second instalment of that series.
Many years ago, I was attending a science communication lecture, in which the lecturer threw a hypothetical challenge to the class: to write an article on the Higgs Boson for the Daily Sun, the notorious, best-selling British tabloid, known for snappy headlines, a lack of political correctness, and the dubious veracity of its articles.

Fortunately the pegasi of Equestria manage water in more intelligent ways.

In all seriousness, once I managed to stop my skin from trying to crawl off, slash the hysterical laughter?
I can see some potential in this 'Gatebox.'
Hear me out.
New Particle Gadgeteering post: Popular Science Books and University Admissions, possibly of interest to anyone in the process of applying to university…
Some thoughts on modern technology...
You know the classic mad scientist trope, as seen in Frankenstein, Jurassic Park, The Fly, etc, where some scientists create something they don't understand? Where they've had the inspiration to achieve something amazing, but they don't really control it or know how it works, and it inevitably breaks free and confounds/betrays/eats them?
