We shuddered to hear the news of the man who was swallowed by a giant sinkhole. But what actually causes these monsters to open up? This week we explore the ground beneath our feet.

Plus, news for pregnant women about fish oil; a device that lets you make notes by writing with your fingertip in the air; and your very own coffee shop background noise in the comfort of your home.

Those stories, and more, are waiting for you right here! Let’s go, it’s time to get your nerd on.
