Have you ever seen a windsurfer who slices through the waves with the help of the breeze, as if flying over water? That's all thanks to the centreboard, and a physical concept: lift. The same force that makes planes fly and propels javelins over long distances.

The Mechanics of Strength

If you spin a top, it will continue to rotate on its own for a while. Physicists found the explanation for this phenomenon: inside angular momentum. In sport it is used by trampoliners. They are true masters of the art of turning and can perform up to 50 spins in 20 seconds.

The Trampoline and Kinetic Energy

Trampoliners can spin up to 50 times in the space of just 20 seconds

The pole vault is a discipline is based on the transformation of kinetic energy into elastic energy and then into gravitational energy. Athletes must play with energy, optimise it, transform it, and conserve it.

The Strongest of Them All

Since antiquity, scientists have tracked down the principles behind the movements of moving things, from planets to athletes. Running champions make sure of basic principles of physics developed by Newton to improve their performance. We take a look at the maths behind the movement.

We will be able to upgrade our brains with a microchip, blurring the boundaries between man and machine in a way that we've never seen before. But what will happen to us when our computers become smarter than we are? Helen Fares is on a mission to test the limits of the human brain.

The Upgraded Brain

Does living in a digitised world divert sexual pleasure away from other people and towards the screen? A recent study confirms the trend in both Japan and Europe. Since the advent of the smartphone, the amount of sex couples have has decreased. At the same time, sex robots are now a reality. Helen Fares meets one of these lovers of the future.

The Digital Orgasm

According to futurist Ian Pearson, the holidays of the future will be virtual. The first wave of immigration into the virtual world has already taken place: you can dance, chat or play board games. Some people have even got married via VR. The possibilities are endless to escape real life, or enrich it.

Virtual Fun

Is humanity and technology becoming so meshed together that chips in the brain, 3D printed organs and virtual sex will one day just be considered a normal part of life? And if we were to become no longer totally human, but not totally digital either, would that make us a new species - Homo Digitalis? Are we going to take over evolution and decide for ourselves how we want to change?

A New Type of Human

Each technical revolution has taken us one step closer to simplifying our daily lives. Now, the old fear is back: machines will take our jobs. But will these robots be able to make us more efficient and happier at work?

Digital Happiness at Work

Eternal life: an impossible dream or our reality in just a few decades? And would you even be willing to modify your DNA to live longer? Is the body is only a computer and DNA the source code? Quite possibly...
