Physicists have discovered a method of tracking the radioactivity of plutonium, in terms of its location and quantity. Scientists at the Los Alamos National Laboratory are now able to determine how much plutonium was originally in a particular location. The practical applications of this new technique are staggering; for...

A US research project has found that people have an automatic sense of whether people they are interacting with are homosexual or not. The research indicates that people can distinguish sexuality within 50 milliseconds, with an accuracy of 60-65%. Further studies may result in allowing people to determine whether...

A graduate student at the London School of Economics has produced a study that states that the internet meme “LoLcats” make people (counter-intuitively) smarter. The internet anthropologist found that the online banality draws people closer together through its silliness. She believes that Lolcats were invaluable tool for creating connections...

An unfortunate but unavoidable consequence of social networking has reared its ugly head: the trade in child pornography. Users trade images with their Facebook “friends”, allowing for the creation of the newest market for exploitation. It appears that Facebook users have coded preferences that allow others know that they...

A Parisian exhibition has showcased a truly bizarre concoction: an aerosol mouth spray that immediately imparts drunkenness and inebriation. The chemical, called WA|HH Quantum Sensations Spray, was designed to allow people to experience the drunken condition without having to endure the unpleasant side effects of intoxication. Each puff of...
