Those crazy Slow-Mo guys are destroying anything they can possibly get their hands on this week. Today, it's a house made from LEGO. And though explosions are almost always a delicious visual treat, especially in slow motion, blowing up LEGO should never make anyone happy. Thankfully, LEGO bricks can totally withstand a banger.

Given you rarely see owls in the day outside of a zoo or museum setting, you've probably never thought of them as stone cold killers. But when hunting at night they can be as terrifying as a hawk, particularly if you happen to see them swooping in from a mouse's point of view. Read More >>

It's a general rule that everything is better in slow motion, but at 4,700 frames a second, wasps just go from "creepy" to "still creepy." Read More >>

We all know about echolocation, but way more is happening when a bat takes flight, and some bats don't echolocate at all. So how do they have so much precision in their flying and what's different about bats and birds? Read More >>

Blowing stuff up is a blast in more ways than one, but only occasionally can you venture to call it art. This is an edge case. Ever an explosive duo, the Slow Mo guys have moved from pans of gasoline to bottles of paint and firecrackers and made some pretty colourful explosions. Read More >>

BBC Earth Productions is back with another mesmerising bit of high-speed footage that captures hawks as they're swooping in to attack their prey. Seeing all of the bird's complex feather mechanics in action as it slows mid-air to snatch its target is utterly fascinating, and seeing it extend those terrifying claws will make you happy you're not a tiny rodent caught in its crosshairs.

Jiggle. Blubber. Bounce. Gravity's a bitch. It's especially unforgiving if you jump up and down naked while getting filmed at 2000FPS. That sort of slow motion camera work exposes all the extra meat we carry on our bodies. LA video artist Michael Haussman captured naked people in slow motion to show you what you're missing.

The idea behind this video is pretty simple, it's a laser igniting black-flash paper to spark a fire inside a bottle. But the execution of it is just mesmerising  The Wicked Laser 100mW Spyder III Krypton burns through the paper in a pyro domino effect, and the flame just explodes inside the bottle. You get to see it broken down in slow motion too. Lasers. Fire. Slow motion. Always a good combination. [World Scott via Laughing Squid] Read More >>

There's no doubt, everything is made more awesome by slow motion. But when you combine things like lawn mowers, piggy banks, speeding bullets, light bulbs, coke bottles, explosives, and a filthy, stinking caravan, you've got epically mesmerising viewing right there. Read More >>

The US-281 Bridge in Marble Falls, Texas had to go. Fortunately for us, the best way to do that involved a whole bunch of explosives. The bridge was demolished yesterday morning with a series of explosions that made one specular last trip across the steel span. And while stuff blowing up is always awesome, stuff blowing up in slow motion is always better. Read More >>

There are incredible feats of engineering going completely unnoticed all around us. The way a high speed camera shutter works is one of them. Read More >>

Rattlesnakes, especially the diamondback, are some of the most lethal animals in the world. They're also frighteningly cool, with that unique rattle at the end of their tails that lets you know they're there and could kill you. But how exactly do they make that distinctive rattle sound? Slow motion explains. Read More >>
