How successful with this experiment be? For a limited time until 30 August, McDonald’s is selling 15-piece packs of Chicken McNuggets for 390 yen (US$2.93), which is a 200-yen discount on the normal 590 yen sales price. Also available for a limited time is the Spicy Butter Chicken Curry Sauce that goes with the nuggets, which our reporter Ahiruneko says is his new favourite thing at McDonald’s. Ahiruneko is so smitten with the sauce that he’s been harbouring a secret desire to eat it on its own, with a side of rice like a regular curry. After days of thinking about it, he finally decided to live out his wild food fantasies while the sauce was still available, so he whipped out one...

This week on Africa Science Focus, we meet Wariara Waireri from the Raspberry Pi Foundation, a global computer and digital technology charity that’s helping to set up clubs...
When Hannah Sager and Alex Miller first met on a date in the Big Apple 10 years ago, their mutual love of lactose made for an instant connection. “We originally bonded over a shared love of ice cream and our belief that Northern ice cream is better,” says Sager. “Alex being from upstate New York and me from Vermont, we both have very nostalgic and special memories of ice cream.” Now married and living in Church Hill, the couple has been producing pints of from-scratch ice cream for the last five years. Their dairy dessert experiments began shortly after they moved to Richmond in 2015. Twelve months of testing eventually earned them their own signature recipe with which they now...

Jesus Rivera liked to scan Craigslist for crashed motorcycles. The first one he ever took home was a totaled green Suzuki GSX-R. It took him about a year, tinkering with wires, cutting metal, and forging new parts in the subterranean machine shop of the engineering building at UC Irvine, but he and a small group of fellow grad students in the materials science program eventually turned the motorcycle into a Formula One–style race car. He was a guy who liked grease. He was known for being particularly skilled at working with carbon fiber. He restored arcade games for fun. He didn’t think his life would have anything to do with bugs. But one day, he took the elevator up from...
