“Not a new story but worth watching again and again! So amazingly touching – the story of Shirley and Jenny, two crippled elephants reunited at The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee after a 22-year separation. The bonding was immediate, intense and unforgettable between the two former circus elephants. But long after the cameras were turned off, the wondrous moments would continue.” — britches1985

“We’ve shown you computer screens made of water and even a touchscreen built out of ice. But now Yoichi Ochiai from the University of Tokyo and colleagues have created the world’s thinnest screen from a soap bubble that can display vivid images that are either flat, textured or 3D. Compared to conventional screens that are opaque, a soap film varies in transparency and reflectance. The team was able to control these properties by using ultrasonic sound waves emitted from speakers to alter the surface. By using a single projector, the texture of an image can then be changed on the fly, for example to make a ball look smooth or rough. Several screens can also be combined to create a 3D effect.” w/ video

“It took 20 years of hunting, but a dedicated scientist has found her Holy Grail: A woman who can see 99 million more colors than the average human being. While she can’t see through walls or turn her eyes into a heat ray, the unidentified woman is a ‘tetrachromat’, with the ability to see much greater color depth than almost everyone else in the world. Dr Gabriele Jordan, a researcher at the Institute of Neuroscience has spent the last 20 years on a mission to find someone with superhuman sight.” w/ photos

“One of our most popular world records over recent years has been the hotly contested tightest parallel parking title. The record has changed hands five times in the past two years, with our video of German driving ace Ronny Wechselberger’s successful attempt last year becoming something of an internet sensation with viewing figures hitting the millions. When Patrik Folco neatly slid his way into a gap measuring just 8.66 inches longer than the car he was driving last month it set a benchmark that looked unlikely to be broken. However, the record has indeed once again been smashed, this time by Chinese master wheelman Han Yue. Han last week managed to shave off an incredible 3.5 inches from the record, drifting into a space of just 5.91 inches longer than his vehicle during an attempt at the launch in Beijing of a new special edition of the Mini called The Chinese Job.” — guinnessworldrecords
