This week's top stories
From the difficult birth of the number zero, once called ungodly and impossible, to the incredible energy that fills what we once thought was empty space, this week's New Scientist is all about nothing. Read more in "The nature of nothingness".
Also on newscientist.com this week (or right now for subscribers): the straight dope on mental enhancement drugs, and Daniel Kahneman, the Nobel-winning psychologist, talks about the cognitive slip-ups we make every day.

Much ado about nothing
Farmer Buckley's Exploding Trousers
What caused a farmer's trousers to explode in 1931? Was it a scientific discovery or an advance aimed at improving lives that backfired? Find out in Farmer Buckley's Exploding Trousers, a collection of fascinating stories that tell how scientific breakthrough can come from the unlikeliest of places, and how setbacks and mishaps are the norm.
This week on New Scientist TV
Wonder what happens in the brain during an orgasm? Now you can watch the first movie that shows how it fires up in females. If you would rather trick your brain, see how a straw seems to pass through a pin in our Friday Illusion. In the mood for some strange physics? Watch what a moving tram would look like at near-light speed or find out why past and future are the same.
Plus – watch a hummingbird beat the rain with high-speed acrobatics or watch a riot simulation that predicts how crowds move.
