How the Natural History Museum is Scanning 80 Million Dead Creatures

The Natural History Museum in London has set itself the mammoth task of digitising its specimens - all 80 million of them. The museum's collection includes everything from a blue whale skeleton to Martian meteorites, making progress understandably slow. Head of Informatics Vince Smith says it would take around 1,500 years for the team to manually digitise it all, so in 2014 they decided to write software that allows them to do it in bulk. They now use six DSLR cameras to process up to 200 items at a time. WIRED went behind the scenes to meet the researchers working on the project and learn more about how they digitise the different specimens.

The Danish Distillery Making Spirits out of Fir Trees and Chicken Skin

Copenhagen-based Empirical Spirits is on a mission to bring new flavour to alcoholic spirits. Having previously worked at famed restaurant Noma, Lars Williams is eagerly leading an investigation into brewing and distilling, looking at flavours, traditions, technologies and techniques to see if things could be done differently. Why can’t spirits be seasonal, as food can, or have vintages, as wine does? Why should spirits be required to have an ABV of 40 per cent when they could taste far better at 20 per cent? WIRED went to Copenhagen to meet the team and see how they produce experimental drinks out of hacked-together machinery.
