So, it’s a little disappointing that the Higgs Boson has not been found. However, the hunt is really just at it’s beginning and the process itself might prove to be more interesting than finding the Higgs boson. That is, if new theories of physics can be uncovered. Physicists have announced that the Large Hadron Collider ...
The future looks bright for cloud services as global data transfer rate is set to increase in the very near future. Researchers have set a new world record for data transfer, helping to usher in the next generation of high-speed network technology. At the SuperComputing 2011 (SC11) conference in Seattle during mid-November, the international team ...
The Norwegians will definitely piss in their pants watching the video below. The soaring popularity of a fat-rich fad diet has depleted stocks of butter in Norway creating a looming Christmas culinary crisis. Norwegians have eaten up the country’s entire stockpile of butter, partly as the result of a “low-carb̶ 1; diet sweeping the Nordic nation ...
Probably the greatest discovery of our time, is to be announced next week. Stay tuned. A respected scientist from the Cern particle physics laboratory has told the BBC he expects to see “the first glimpse” of the Higgs boson next week. It comes as the search for the mysterious fundamental particle reaches its endgame. If ...
It seems like the drivers have totalled the cars beyond recognition. Well, at least it shows something: the safety of supercars are awesome. Eight — count ‘em, eight — Ferraris, three Merc …
Who says Singapore doesn’t win any global sport event? Now we do. In a tongue-in-cheek contest of microscopic mobility, a line of bone marrow stem cells from Singapore beat out dozen …
Are we really going to see mammoths in zoos? Nah. You can probably find them in Russia though, where the climate can be cold enough for them to thrive. That is, if they get cloned. Scientists from Japan and Russia believe it may be possible to clone a mammoth after finding well-preserved bone marrow in ...
Holy molly. What an experience it would have been to be standing under the projection and feel how small you really are. However, they could do with more interesting visuals though. But I really like the falling segments of the building!
You ain’t even given a choice to choose if you want your data to be collected. And you onlyknow that the the choice is not given until you know that CarrierIQ exists. The Android developer who raised the ire of a mobile-phone monitoring company last week is on the attack again, producing a video of ...
This is just too incredible. They shouldn’t have dismantled it. Details of the incredible creation emerged as the French capital prepares to commemorate the 93rd anniversary of the Armistice.

The mastermind at improveverywhere.com , who’s mission is to troll the hell out of everyone. But this trolling, is actually fun.
Oh my god. This has to be the most awesome timelapse video I have ever seen. So much so that for a moment I thought it was a CGI! A bizarre underwater “icicle of death” has been filmed by a BBC crew. With timelapse cameras, specialists recorded salt water being excluded from the sea ice ...
Just visit google.co.uk for some HTML5 fun. Actually I couldnt care less about who’s Stanislaw Lem. A spiky-haired, bespectacled animation of the Polish science fiction author Stanislaw Lem marches across Google’s doodle this morning, as the search engine marks the 60th anniversary of the publication of his first book, The Astronauts. Lem remains best known ...
I think this article put into perspective why a space elevator might never happen in the near future. Some ideas just refuse to go away: trickle-down economics, the bolo tie, couscous. Add to this the space elevator. If you’re not familiar with the space elevator, perhaps you’ve heard it referred to by one of its ...
This is pretty damn innovative with a minimal impact on the environment. Now, maybe someone can come up with a really good idea on how to cool down countries that are on the equator too. Mongolia is to launch one of the world’s biggest ice-making experiments later this month in an attempt to combat the ...
