Funny study about the correlation between chocolate consumption and Nobel laureates. Let's all eat chocolate then! :)

why Lindt chocolate ...??

"Dr. Messerli reports regular daily chocolate consumption, mostly but not exclusively in the form of Lindt's dark varieties."

perfect gift for ACT children ?

Apparently it's becoming a more and more popular hobby in US... Wonder when we'll start seeing airplanes going down because of some wannabe meteorologists...

The redbull mission will attempt to transcend human limits. Supported by a team of experts Felix Baumgartner plans to ascend to 120,000 feet in a stratospheric balloon and make a freefall jump rushing toward earth at supersonic speeds before parachuting to the ground.

since months austria is not speaking about anything else ... hope it is over soon :-) seriously: they even had last year Armstrong coming over to discuss with this guy on television (have posted it here) and the whole Red Bull advertisement machinery is working full speed on this ... quite impressive for just a jump ...

created by a Dutch artist :)

Any idea how?

It seems like he just recreates in the room the right combination of temperature and humidity and than with a fog machine he generates the cloud ... I thought he could be a nice candidate for the artist in residence :)

Crowdsourcing space debris monitoring

Rocket science!

Francesco and Sante s paper is out - let's see the reactions ....

The human brain both stores and processes information at the same time. Now computer scientists say they can do the same thing The human brain is an extraordinary computing machine. Nobody understands exactly how it works its magic but part of the trick is the ability to store and process information at the same time.

I wonder if this is true.. It sure does look like it!

With self-assembly guiding the steps and synchronization providing the rhythm, a new class of materials forms dynamic, moving structures in an intricate dance. Researchers have demonstrated tiny spheres that synchronize their movements as they self-assemble into a spinning microtube.

This is quite similar to the following paper. Here they show how tiny variations of particle parameters can produce clearly distinct structures: Thermal and Athermal Swarms of Self-Propelled Particles --> http://arxiv.org/abs/1201.0180

1mm atomic bundle teleported !!!!

Sorry, did not see your entry when posting mine ...

I Knew!!! I Knew!!! They are all around. I always though Marek was one :) "I believe in Father Frost. But not too deeply. But anyway, you know, I'm not one of those people who are able to tell the kids that Father Frost does not exist"

His rival putin on the other hand... He got into an ultra-light aircraft to guide birds during their migration - from the video it seems that only very few birds think he is credible (as a guide). --> http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/vladimir-putin/9524900/Flying-Vladimir-Putin-leads-birds-on-first-ever-migration-in-latest-publicity-stunt.html

Yup. My structural perfection is matched only by my hostility.
