Never before published pictures emerge – Einstein’s office on the day he died
Einstein died on April 18, 1955 of heart failure. A wily LIFE Magazine photographer, knowing the affair was going to be big news and access to Einstein’s family and funeral was going to be an intensely private affair, grabbed a case of scotch whiskey to use as bribes (he knew people would be reluctant to…
Science answers the age-old question – “Should I give it up on the first date or wait?”
We all know that most guys have one thing on their minds during their first date with a girl and are not thinking with their head. Girls on the other hand, are a bit more thoughtful and wonder, “Should I give it up on the first date with this guy or wait?” Now science has…
New state of matter (and new type of magnetism) discovered by MIT researchers
Since 1987, a third state of magnetism, one that could be highly relevant to high-temperature semiconductors, has been a theoretical prediction. Now researchers at MIT have demonstrated experimentally the existence of a fundamentally new kind of magnetic behavior (and a new form of matter), adding to the two previously known magnetic states (ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism).…
Scientists find proof that our universe could indeed be nothing more than a simulation
It has long been proposed that any civilization of sufficient size and intelligence would eventually create a simulated universe that mirrored itself. Now physicists may have found evidence that our universe is indeed nothing more than a simulation. Researchers at the University of Bonn in Germany have published a paper titled “Constraints on the Universe…
New “sound wave” knife is so accurate, surgeons can detach a single cancer cell with it
Scientists at the University of Michigan have developed a new knife that uses high-amplitude sound waves, instead of a knife blade, to cut tissue. The new sound-based knife, which can focus sound waves to finer points than every before, is magnitudes more accurate than previous technologies. It can cut an area of tissue, using pressure…
Five planets found orbiting Tau Ceti, one of the closest Sun-like stars in our system
Astronomers have discovered five planets, including one in the habitable “Goldilocks Zone”, surrounding Tau Ceti, one of the closest and most Sun-like stars in our neighborhood (it has the same specteral classification as the Sun). Located just 12 light-years away from Earth, the planets are about 2-6 times the mass of Earth. The single planet…
Possible new species of spider builds an exact replica of itself as a decoy
A possible new species of spider in the Cyclosa genus has been discovered that builds a realistic, larger fake decoy spider to confuse predators (or to lure in prey). The decoy spider is built like a larger version of the spider itself, complete with legs and all, and is about an inch in body length.…
“Unbreakable” WWII secret message attached to carrier pigeon skeletal leg may have been broken
Remember the top secret World War II code we reported on earlier – the encrypted code that was found in a capsule attached to a carrier pigeon’s skeletal leg in a chimney? The top-secret coded message that British intelligence said could never be cracked without the proper code book? As it turns out, they may…
Chinese orbiter completes close flyby of asteroid 4179 Toutatis
The Chinese lunar orbiter Chang’e 2 has completed a maneuver that allowed a close flyby of asteroid 4179 Toutatis, a five-kilometer (three mile) long space rock that recently had a “close” encounter with Earth. The flyby was made on December 13, 2012. According to Chinese state-run Xinhua news agency, the probe made a close approach…
