One too many cups of Java in a day might make you hear voices, according to a recent Australian study. Ninety-two people took part in a study that measured the effect of caffeine on their auditory perception (the way they hear things). Subjects that reported drinking 5 or more...

As consumers continue to flock towards portable computers under the form of smartphones and tablets, the thought occurs, is the mighty computer mouse, as we’ve known and loved it, for the last 30 years or so, ready go the way of the Dodo Bird and disappear? Strictly speaking the...

Imagine if instead of having a nuclear power plant, that uses Uranium, produces heavy water, radioactive waste, a certain amount of carbon emissions, and could be converted to be used as a weapon, we had a thorium power plant. Why would we have a thorium power plant? I hear...

This video shows a huge explosion on the Sun, estimated in size at be over a million km across. The light from the explosion was ultraviolet – invisible to the naked eye – but thanks to the miracles of modern technology it has been colored orange for our viewing...

With the recent development at CERN of a more stable anti-matter, it’s beginning to become evident that there might be dangers involved. Much like with radio-activity, anti-matter, if put in contact with, let’s say arbitrarily, a human being, could be hazardous. The way I understand anti-matter, it is the...

A new study from the University of Chicago found that men who get the recommended sleeping time every night have more testosterone than their sleep-deprived counterparts – ten to fifteen percent more, in fact – and thus, more energy and desire for sex. But the study inadvertently reveals a...

Researchers at the LHC in Europe have discovered the densest form of matter, sadly they’ve named it quark-gluon plasma. Quark-gluon plasma is 100.000 times hotter than Jessica Alba The Sun, and is as dense as the matter from a neutron star. It is made up from exotic particles known as...

Ruth Schulz and her team of researchers at the University of Queensland and Queensland University of Technology, have invented a type of robots that have been designed to develop their own language. What the robots have done so far, is simply to map out a region inside a room,...

No, it’s not Godzilla, although I think we all might be better off if it was. Greenpeace have announced this morning that they’ve found traces of radioactive life in the Pacific Ocean near Japan. They said they’ve also found radiation levels up to 50 times higher than expected, which...
