You know how that special “AHA!” moment hits you when you least expect it and seems to come from out of nowhere? That flash of brilliance that comes from somewhere deep in your creative center? We LOVE those moments, so much so that we’ve spent the last two years celebrating Ahh-mazing “AHA” Discoveries each month.
2016 was truly an Ahh-mazing year. We discovered a new species of octopod, were introduced to Elon Musk’s high-speed hyperloop, learned how dolphins sleep, and how a woman used green fingernail polish as a training aid for her brain to restore her visual color recognition.
We can’t wait to see what 2017 holds. Until then, here’s a list of all of our Ahh-mazing discoveries …
