If you’ve ever slurped on a coke from McDonald’s then you’ll know that there is something acutely different from the taste of the beverage served at the fast-food chain compared to any other can or bottle. You’re not crazy for thinking it – there’s a reason to explain the concept we’ve been trying to wrap …
The creator of the Human Centipede says his latest horror film offering will likely never be made due to its extreme content. Tom Six is best known as the depraved mind behind the horror trilogy, which sees a mad scientist perform gruesome experiments on unwilling test subjects – joining them anus-to-mouth in a sickening chain …

Ultraviolet induced fluorescence (UVIF) occurs when molecules in an object are excited (energized) by high energy ultraviolet wavelengths (from our UV flashlight) and as a result emit longer wavelengths in the visible portion of the spectrum (red, green, and blue). These longer wavelengths emitted are what we are photographing. This article is a short tutorial …

A new study a JAMA network open found that antidepressants do not prevent suicide. The researchers concluded that antidepressants, antipsychotics and benzodiazepines were all associated with increased suicide attempts in people with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Mood stabilizers had no effect on suicide attempt rates. ADHD stimulant drugs were the only drug class associated with a decrease …

Dynamic shell formation was first demonstrated experimentally at the University of Rochester’s Laser Energetics Laboratory. Fusion, which replicates the same reaction that powers the sun, has long been seen as an ideal energy source due to its potential to be safe, clean, cheap and reliable. Since the early 1960s, scientists have pursued the possibility …

The generation of photonic time crystals in the near-visible spectrum has been demonstrated under novel conditions, according to a team of researchers who say the breakthrough could have significant implications for the science of light and could lead to the development of disruptive new technologies. Time crystals are quantum systems made up of repetitively moving …
Just as Charles Darwin once used the fossil record to tell the story of the evolution of life on Earth, astronomers are using the first light to shine in the universe to understand the events that shaped the cosmos. This early light is called the “Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB),” leftover radiation that spreads almost uniformly …
MIT physicists have successfully imaged the pairings of particles in a cloud of atoms, providing new insights into the behavior of electrons in superconducting materials. The discovery, documented in the journal Science, could help understand superconductivity and the further development of heatless electronics. (Artists concept.) The images shed light on how electrons form superconducting …
For the first time ever, the SNO+ experiment demonstrated the ability to detect neutrinos emitted from a nuclear reactor located more than 240 km away using natural water. Science Therefore, devices of immense size and high sensitivity are required to capture the tiny signals from neutrinos. The SNO+ experiment recently demonstrated that a …
