AstraZeneca Careers | Pharmaceutical Job Search Blackest is the new black: Scientists have developed a material so dark that you can't see it... - Science - News Puritans, Goths, avant-garde artists, hell-raising poets and fashion icon Coco Chanel all saw something special in it. Now black, that most enigmatic of colours, has become even darker and more mysterious. A British company has produced a "strange, alien" material so black that it absorbs all but 0.035 per cent of visual light, setting a new world record. To stare at the "super black" coating made of carbon nanotubes – each 10,000 times thinner than a human hair – is an odd experience. It is so dark that the human eye cannot understand what it is seeing. Shapes and contours are lost, leaving nothing but an apparent abyss. If it was used to make one of Chanel's little black dresses, the wearer's head and limbs might appear to float incorporeally around a dress-shaped hole. Actual applications are more serious, enabling astronomical cameras, telescopes and infrared scanning systems to function more effectively. A sample of the new material. "You would lose all features of the dress.
There’s An Awesome Trick You Can Do To Get To Sleep In Under 1 Minute | Viral Thread It was the week before my best friend’s wedding, and my anxiety levels had hit the roof. A thousand thoughts were racing around my mind. Like most of us, I had a lot on my plate. I wasn’t sleeping, not even a little. After day three of lying awake until the wee hours of the morning, I sheepishly admitted to my friend (the groom) that I was too nervous to kip. It couldn’t be more simple and easily applicable. He explained that the considered combination of numbers has a chemical-like effect on our brains, and would slow my heart rate and soothe me right to sleep. How it Works I couldn’t wait to put the trick to the test, and to my complete disbelief, I woke up the next morning unable to even remember getting to the eighth second of the exhale because it knocked me out that fast. When you feel stressed or anxious, adrenaline courses through your veins, your heart beats at a rapid rate, and your breathing becomes quick and shallow. How it Can Work For You

They don’t punch walls, scream at their parents like toddlers, turn to vodka in a crisis or start creating an elaborate life plan that doesn’t involve a degree. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.
Everything we eat both causes and prevents cancer In an effort to illustrate how often medical studies can be flawed, Vox have put together the above graph showing how, in a single meta-analysis of research into food-cancer risk links, you can get some very different results depending on how you designed your experiment. You can see the full version below. The image is based on a 2013 paper called "Is everything we eat associated with cancer? Reporting in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, they found that 40 of the ingredients had articles reporting on their cancer risk, and of 264 single-study assessments they looked at, 191 (72 percent) concluded that the tested food was associated with an increased or decreased risk. If none of that sounds quite right - it shouldn't. Head to Vox to read the whole article, it's a fascinating look into the very difficult world of medical science research and reporting. Source: Vox
Here's when you should be drinking your coffee, according to science It probably doesn’t surprise you when I say that caffeine is the most widely consumed psycho-active substance on the planet. One of the most popular vehicles for caffeine consumption - coffee - is so popular, worldwide production is now over 7 million metric tonnes. If averaged out, that equates to 1.3 kg of coffee per person per year. So it’s safe to say we like the stuff. Why? But not all coffee breaks are created equal. According to Steven Miller at the NeuroscienceDC blog, this is because a) caffeine is a drug, and b) drugs have an affect on our internal chemistry. One of the most important biological rhythms for a good deal of species on the planet is our internal circadian clock. This means if you’re producing too much cortisol, you’re not doing too good, but having moderate levels of the hormone helps keep you alert. Turns out that consuming caffeine at the same time as your cortisol levels are naturally peaking is pretty much a waste of time.
