Now the Anonymous can all finally look like this: After five years of steady progress, scientists are now edging closer and closer to mastering real-world invisibility. Sure, researchers have already made marked strides toward making objects unseeable. But much of the work was more like mimicry: Meta-materials that bent light around an object to conceal ... 
While the rage are all on web and application companies nowadays, what powers and make these services possible are actually innovations by companies that create the hardware. And this, is … 
Google does it again. They are really keen on accelerating the use of HTML5 on mainstream websites. The statistics are presented in a really fun and interactive way. Just check out onehourpersecond! Matching the capability to the relevant flash actionscripts! And check out the 24th second of the animation.. you will be… nyan-ed. 
Oh well, at least there’s 70% chance of hitting the water, with the simplest estimate. But really, can we trust the Russians again? Uncertainty about where a doomed Russian Mars probe might crash back to Earth grew Friday when the Roscosmos space agency changed its prediction thousands of miles (kilometres) from the Pacific to the ... 
I hope it will never occur again. Around 250 million years ago, at the end of the Permian geologic period, there was a mass extinction so severe that it remains the most traumatic known species die-off in Earth’s history. Although the cause of this event is a mystery, it has been speculated that the eruption ...
I am not sure what this guy is really trying to do with these videos, but they are pretty awesome. Although the way he’s waxing optimism about the future can be a tad too irritating.
Brillant. Just what we need to send a ICBM into another country unknowningly… not today though. Soldiers could one day conduct covert operations in complete secrecy, now that Pentago … 
Seems like there are a bunch of people out there taking free speech really seriously. I am however, skeptical about how effective and relevant will these satellites be, when compare to their big brothers out there. Hackers at the Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin, which wrapped up over the weekend, are toasting the New Year ... 
I think these people needs an education. Urgently. No matter that they are all celebrities. From whale sperm to colon cleansers to the shape of a woman’s foot when she has an orgasm, celebrities did not disappoint during 2011 with their penchant for peddling suspect science in the world’s media. In its annual list of ... 
This calender is really way cool. Unfortunately, I don’t think it will be any easy to change the current calender. Good try though, scientists. Using computer programs and mathematical formulas, Richard Conn Henry, an astrophysicist in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, and Steve H. Hanke, an applied economist in the Whiting School of ... 
We know that Venice is one of the worst hit victim of the rising water globally. Now some scientists are coming out to save the ancient city. This is quite a crazy idea at first glance, but it might actually work. Everyone knows that on a sinking ship, you want to pump water out. But ... 
Now, go out and beat the pigeons at Sudoku. Pigeons may be ubiquitous, but they’re also brainy, according to a new study that found these birds are on par with primates when it comes to numerical competence. The study, published in the latest issue of the journal Science, discovered that pigeons can discriminate against different ... 
Oh man, I think the arms race is over. Now it’s the race to see who’s navigation capabilities are better. And from Wikipedia, “on November 2, 2006, China announced that from 2008 BeiDou would offer an open service with an accuracy of 10 meters, timing of 0.2 nanoseconds, speed of 0.2 meter/second”. By the way, ... 
What a crazy project… to build something you will never see and to detect something that you will never see. The hunt for elusive neutrinos will soon get its largest and most powerful tool yet: the enormous KM3NeT telescope, currently under development by a consortium of 40 institutions from ten European countries. Once completed KM3NeT ... 
It ranks 42nd among the big boys, but it’s hidden in another dimension. Nah just joking, it’s just distrubuted high performance computing at it’s best. The 42nd fastest s … 
Oh man, this has to be the biggest ever present from facebook, unintended present. The reason this works is because you can put double-brackets around certain ‘magic’ FB numbers – users and pages, for example. Check out http://www.facebook. com/pages/Poker-Face /129627277060203 and note the number. So if you make a page or profile, you can use the … 
I knew that someone will definitely try to reconstruct the LHC in lego. It took a few years, but now we are seeing some really good lego work here. As we write, scientists are trying to find out whether the elusive Higgs boson particle was glimpsed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, fuelling ...
When I happen to see these videos on the TV, I went like… WTF. I can’t help but thinks that blizzard is trying a little too hard to keep the community strong(in terms of quantity of players) Not saying that these videos ain’t hilarious though. At least the Chuck Norris one had gone viral. What ...
If you liked the works of Yeong Deo Seo, you will definitely love these. Sculptor Manuel Martí Moreno lives and works in Valencia, Spain and forms these wonderful figurative pieces out of … 
No, it’s not an alien spaceship, it’s a real object that orbits around Earth. Albeit that it is a little small in size. Back in 2006, the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona noticed that a mysterious body had begun orbiting the Earth. This object had a spectrum that was remarkably similar to the titanium white ...
