Weird Tech

Want to hear something weird about ectoplasm?

In our final Spooktober special from the archives, Rae catches Tegan up on all the tricks and tech and science used by mediums during the spiritualist movement to produce the most earthly ghostly material ever - ectoplasm.

Do you wanna hear something weird about...ice?

Not just any ice, but salty ice. The kind you find on those icy moons hanging around the outer solar system. 

Turns out, scientists have discovered that you can actually generate electricity from it - just by bending it. Like, literally squishing salty ice and pulling power out of it like it’s an angry little frozen battery.

And yes, it is precisely as bizarre and brilliant as it sounds...
