Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

Ever wonder exactly how thunderstorms work? What about genetic fingerprinting? Do you have nightmares about getting stuck in quicksand? This group of (thoroughly clothed) Cambridge University researchers and physicians wants to answer your questions and help you have fun with science. Try an experiment, such as using simple kitchen objects to measure the speed of light, figuring out how to tell if an egg is raw, or discovering the simple magic required for making sugar cubes glow. Already think you're an Einstein? Test your knowledge of science with their quiz. Tune in to a podcast or read an article. Ask a question on their radio show or get it answered right now in the forums. Just think how all this new wisdom will impress your friends and family. They might start calling you "Doctor."
