Most people probably dont give a heck about this. Students cry for their life as there are now more physics to be learnt and physicists who believed that Higgs boson exists are probably the most egoistic people on Earth now. But seriously, it’s good news for mankind. Prepare the fireworks: The discovery of the Higgs ... 
I think, being a Somalia pirate is a more lucrative business. In most papers we at Ars cover, we’ll be pleasantly surprised to find a single clever turn of phrase that has survived multiple rounds of editing and peer review. So it was an unexpected surprise to come across a paper where the authors, all ... 
As we all know, the next time Venus is going to transit is when we have vanished off the face of this earth. Oh well, at least we got to look at it in our lifetime. Please drop us a comment if you find a more interesting video and we will include in this list. ... 
Eh, seriously, what was the Secret Service doing with those powerful telescopes? The phone call came like a bolt out of the blue, so to speak, in January of 2011. On the other end of the l … 
This is so hilariously stupid that I can’t believe that there are people who are actually making money out of it. In January, a Quebec man named Sylvio Langvein walked into a courtho … 
Erm seriously, why magnetic tapes? Tape storage isn’t what you’d call cutting-edge technology. Most of us make do with disk, and lust after the speeds of SSD. But tape is still useful when … 
And you think you’re so smart eh? Pigeons might do better than humans at game shows, at least on “Let’s Make A Deal.” These new findings — involving the pigeons sup …
I mean, for as long as I have lived, I have been pounding my ketchup bottles. Now you don’t need to. This is revolutionary. Just like how the Internet sidelined physical contacts. When it comes to those last globs of ketchup inevitably stuck to every bottle of Heinz, most people either violently shake the container ...
Seriously, this material should be commercialised. Two decades ago, Maurice Ward invented a fireproof substance that outperformed all known materials. Why wouldn’t he reveal its secret? TH … 
The digital warfare just got more interesting. I wonder if anyone will find a loop hole in quantum cryptography? Teleportation is the extraordinary ability to transfer objects from one location to another without travelling through the intervening space. The idea is not that the physical object is teleported but the information that describes it. This ... 
Fancy being an undead in year 5000? Sign up for this service today! I wonder if I can go to 5000 and be cryogenically preserved again for year 10000. Damn sure that there will be an epic party in 10000. In a nondescript office building near the airport in Scottsdale, Arizona, the Alcor Life Extension ... 
Looks like big beer companies like buds had us with their marketing campaigns. The worst sip of beer I’ve tasted recently was of Brooklyn Brewery’s Pennant Ale ’55. This will surprise anyo … 
This is pretty smart. The Germans are not too bad either… at viewing porns from Al Qaeda. On May 16 last year, a 22-year-old Austrian named Maqsood Lodin was being questioned by police in Berlin. He had recently returned from Pakistan via Budapest, Hungary, and then traveled overland to Germany. His interrogators were surprised to ... 
Japan is back to amaze again. Just check out Nekobukuro! On Wikipedia: Nekobukuro (ねこぶくろ?), or “Cat’s House”, is part of the Ikebukuro Tokyu Hands store, located on the e … 
There is nothing better than a zerg rush on a friday night. For the geeks, this is pure HTML5 galore. Google is giving us another reason to goof off on a Friday with an Easter egg related … 
If you are a leftie, the future looks bleak for you. At least you are better in front of your computer; if you get what i mean. Lefties have always been a bit of a puzzle. Representing only 10 percent of the general human population, left-handers have been viewed with suspicion and persecuted across history. ... 
Jeff Bezo is an impressive man. So impressive that he is doing exploration of his own. Amazon’s cloud computing infrastructure is growing so fast that it’s silently becoming a core piece o … 
Thriftiness is a virtue, even to the North Korean leaders. Rocket technology isn’t the only thing the Stalinist hermit kingdom of North Korea sucks at. It’s not exactly investing in web de … 
If you’re a traffic officer reading this, the next time you see a scientist, just let him pass. Like seriously. A physicist faced with a fine for running a stop sign has proved his innocence by publishing a mathematical paper, and has even won a prize for his efforts. Dmitri Krioukov is a physicist based ... 
Just check out the stats. Seriously mindblowing. Pornography is nothing but the biggest behemoth on the internet. It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a person in possession of a f …
