French And American Scientists Share Physics Nobel

" "The Nobel laureates have opened the door to a new era of experimentation with quantum physics by demonstrating the direct observation of individual quantum particles without destroying them," the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said in a statement. Their work, the Nobel committee says, has laid the foundation for development of a super-fast computer based on quantum physics and precise clocks that could become "the future basis for a new standard of time. " Each full Nobel prize is worth 8 million Swedish kroner — about $1.2 million. For the First Time, Electrons are Observed Splitting into Smaller Quasi-Particles. Researchers finally crack realistic, real-time rendered hair in video games. When it comes to the realistic simulation of humans and humanoids, the realistic modeling of hair is one of the last remaining barriers.

Researchers finally crack realistic, real-time rendered hair in video games

Thanks to the ever-increasing power of computer chips, and billions of dollars of R&D into human kinetics, gait analysis, and musculoskeletal biomechanics, we can now model the human body and face with superb realism. Hair, though, with its millions of interwoven and interrelated strands, is really difficult to get right.

Azure Standard Articles - The Dirt on Health

I take a bite of raw, organic cheese, and wonder about the stewardship of the pastures where the cattle were grazing. I eat a fresh, organic avocado and wonder how the trees are being tended. Soil – healthy soil – is a vibrant, dynamic universe of organisms working in symbiotic relationships, from the microbes to the nutrients, to the plants and animals that interact with it. Enlightenment in the age of materialism: Carol Craig at TEDxGlasgow. The Definitive Hydroponic Media Guide. Although growing hydroponically is soil-free, this doesn’t mean that there is nothing to support our plants.

Is Facebook damaging your brain and health? It should come as no surprise that ‘Facebook’ is the number 1 search term on the Internet.

Is Facebook damaging your brain and health?

Now don’t get me wrong, I quite like Facebook. I use Facebook like 1 billion other people on the planet.

Social networking effect on brain. Image Credit: Shutterstock Harvard neuroscience researchers have just confirmed what many of us have suspected all along: social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest are “brain candy” for Internet users.

Every status update, every tweet, every pin is a micro-jolt delivered squarely to the pleasure centers of our brains. Brain networks — areas of the brain that regularly work together — might avoid traffic jams at their busiest intersections by communicating on different frequencies, according to new research.

Researchers at Stanford University have determined from brain-imaging data whether experimental subjects are recalling events of the day, singing silently to themselves, performing mental arithmetic, or merely relaxing. How The Military Could Turn Your Mind Into The Next Battlefield. Actually, the reason I think they won't happen is that most talk of nanotech and cybernetics and such is more science fiction than science fact. Moving forward into the future won't change the laws of physics, and thus won't change the practicality of any technology.

Cheaters Wrongly Attribute Their Success to Intelligence. By Orion Jones Individuals who cheat in life quickly ignore the fact that their success is fraudulent, believing instead that their own abilities will carry them to even greater heights.

Stafford analyzes a study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, conducted by Zoë Chance of Yale University and Dan Ariely of Duke University.
