Our Universe May Be a 'Multiverse,' Scientists Say

This has already been said in a different universe, but new evidence has been found that supports the idea of the multiverse.

The positive effects of XTC

Maastricht University has approved a grant for a study examining the positive effects on Ecstasy. Given the fact that it was invented as a tool for psychologists (or is it psychiatrists?) the conclusion should be quite evident. Perhaps extensive field studies are required...

Physicists find hints of a light Higgs boson in LHC data

Physicists haven't found the Higgs boson quite yet, but they have pretty much calculated the area where it doesn't exist, which basically tells where it can be found. It is uncertain how long the discovery will take, but it will be a great day for science.

Could Finnish invention hold key to CO2 reduction?

A Finnish nuclear physicist has patented a method to neutralize and dissolve CO2 emissions from power plants while creating valuable compounds as side process. First purification facilities are to be built in Africa.

Drug use and nightlife: More than just dance music

Here's a link to a study that came to the shocking conclusion that there are generally more amphetamine-based drugs such as MDMA used in the club culture. I would have never thought that tracks like "Lick the Rainbow", "Ecstasy" or "Let's Take Drugs" could have relevance in the use of illegal substances...

Pluto has Another Moon

Hubble Photos Reveal that a fourth moon was found orbiting Pluto. This would have naturally been interesting if the discovery had been made when I was kid. Not even being a planet anymore, I'm not quite sure why we should pay any attention to that measly little rock.

The Formula Behind Noise-Cancelling Headphones

Here's a short and readable scientific description on how noise-cancelling headphones work from Wired.

And, if you want to see how wave interference works, here's a link to an applet showing you just that.

Neutrino transformation could help explain mystery of matter.

Two research teams have found new evidence of transformations in elusive elementary particles called neutrinos. The findings may finally help explain why the universe didn't vanish shortly after its birth.

Darpa Searches for Life’s Master Clock

Darpa Searches for Life’s Master Clock

Interesting Wired article on Darpa's research on biochronicity. That is to say not how our body works, but what it will do next by combining different fields of science in creating models to calculate the workings of cells. If you're still not convince to read further, imagine the applications in cancer research, longevity and treatments of different conditions.
