The biology that shapes your mood revealed
ISSUE 113
The magazine that feeds minds!
eeing footage of the
lava from Hawaii’s
Kilauea volcano
swallowing a car really brings
home how destructive these
forces of nature can be… and
how powerless we are to stop them. But these
recent eruptions are nothing compared to the
catastrophic supervolcanoes from our planet’s
past. A supervolcanic blast could level cities, coat
entire continents in ash, even change the climate.
S
These tales of apocalyptic disasters are the stuff
many sci-fi films are made of (case in point: 2005’s
Supervolcano).
In the space section, we explore how
w
realistic some of our sci-fi favourites really are.
Also this month, we meet the latest generation of
robopets, discover the biology behind emotions,
explore the history of US immigration and go
city-hopping via rocket. Enjoy the issue!

When VAR first came into use
I thought it may ruin the flow
of football, but I’m coming
round to the idea. Actually, I
might review that thought...
Baljeet

As far as space films go,
The
Martian
is one of the most
scientifically accurate, but
what about other favourite
Hollywood blockbusters?
Charlie E
Staff Writer
Whether you’re happy or sad,
all of your emotions are driven
by chemicals released by your
body to help you survive. Find
out more on page 32.
Scott
Staff Writer
Could we be witnessing the
rise of the robopets, or is the
idea of a robotic companion all
bark and no bite? Find out
more on page 52.
