We're excited for the upcoming "Valerian" movie (which inspired "Star Wars" with little credit ever attributed). The official title of the movie is "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets," and in this eye-catching teaser footage, we get a look at said city, called Alpha, and an explanation of how this floating metropolis functions:

Props to concept designer Ben Mauro. Entertainment Weekly reports that he spent eight years doing the work for "Valerian," though on his website he claims it was "fulltime for the past couple years." Whichever length of time it was, the results look stunning.

    Scientists Finally Discover Why Roman Concrete is So Freaking Strong

    After 2,000 years underwater, it's stronger now than it was when new. How is this possible?

    Roman concrete is something that has stymied materials scientists for ages.
