302 photos of weird everyday scenes showing that not every solution is an answer to a problem

When German artist David Helbich moved to Brussels, he was amazed by the peculiar and sometimes hilarious no-nonsense solutions he started spotting in his daily surroundings.

Yet it is not until later, past the blank pages symbolic of their working years, that we really get to know how Carlo and Luciana explored the world. In almost every picture – sam...

In Universe, Jos Jansen explores research topics in the domain of hard science, like dark mat...
