ScienceAlert... Researchers in the US have developed the 3DTouch, a thimble-like device that sits on the end of your finger and allows you to interact with a virtual world in three dimensions. When we use a computer mouse, we’re limited to two-dimensional movements. But what if we had the ability to interact with our computers in a three-dimensional fashion? Anh Nguyen and Amy Banic from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Wyoming in the US have developed an intelligent ‘thimble' that sits on the end of your finger and interacts with your computer, sensing its position accurately in three-dimensions. It does this through the use of three types of ...

Real global warming could be unleashed by a hidden technology most people don't even know exists Thursday, July 10, 2014 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger Tags: global warming, free energy devices, scientific suppression (NaturalNews) Depending on whom you ask, so-called "free energy devices" are either a total hoax or a systematically suppressed technology that's being kept away from the public. There's a lot of interesting ground to cover on this subject of "over unity devices," but that's not the point of this article. Instead, let's look at an unintended side effect of free energy devices that even the free energy proponents don't usually ...

Yahoo... "Engineer, American astronaut, and the second person to walk on the moon during the Apollo 11 moon landing" Buzz Aldrin participated July 8 in a Reddit AMA for the promotion of the 45th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, happening on July 20. He touched on a sensitive topic: his apparent admission that he and other astronauts had seen a UFO during the Apollo 11 mission. This is an old favorite of internet UFO conspiracy theorists (and, sadly, the Science Channel), who are convinced that Buzz Aldrin saw an alien ship of some kind during the Apollo 11 ride and that he's been covering it up and hiding that he's a UFO believer. According to an article on ...

US nabs alleged Russian hacker – and Kremlin cries foul The US Department of Justice arrested a Russian in Guam for involvement in a hacking and stolen credit card ring. Moscow says he was framed. US Secret Service agents arrested a Russian man indicted in federal court for stealing credit card accounts by hacking into personal and corporate computers yesterday. So chalk one up for the good guys? Not if Moscow is to be believed. Roman Seleznyov was arrested in the Pacific US territory of Guam. Moscow says that US secret service agents had bundled him onto a private plane in the Maldives. Mr. Seleznyov is no ordinary Russian citizen. His father is Valery Seleznyov, a member of ...

How Vulnerable is the US Power Grid to EMP? Posted by Bill White Survivopedia EMP attackWhile the Cold War ended with the demise of the Soviet Union, the threat of nuclear war has never really died. Instead, it has become the leopard who changed its spots. Rather than being the old leopard, who was bent on mass destruction and deaths, this newer version of the leopard is a more selective killer. It doesn’t takes lives, but rather takes away much of the means of supporting life in a modern culture. This new attack I’m referring to is of course an EMP attack. As the calculus of nuclear warfare has changed, our biggest risks are no longer thousands of missiles hurled across the ...

As we reveal in our July-August issue, on sale July 15, Jaquet Droz has brought out a new miniaturized mechanical device: a machine that can duplicate its owner’s signature. Dubbed the Signing Machine, it follows in the tradition of Jaquet Droz automata. Designed to be comparable in size to a smartphone – it’s five inches long and three inches wide – the Signing Machine at first looks like a nondescript black and gray cassette. Unlock it with a four-digit security code and wind it via a lever on its side, though, and the mechanism comes to life. When you press the button on top of the case two times, a hinged arm and a small black stylus slide out. Fit the pen into the ...

ScienceDaily... Most people are just not comfortable in their own heads, according to a new psychological investigation led by the University of Virginia. The investigation found that most would rather be doing something -- possibly even hurting themselves -- than doing nothing or sitting alone with their thoughts, said the researchers, whose findings will be published July 4 in the journal Science. In a series of 11 studies, U.Va. psychologist Timothy Wilson and colleagues at U.Va. and Harvard University found that study participants from a range of ages generally did not enjoy spending even brief periods of time alone in a room with nothing to do but think, ponder or daydream.

NI Posted online: Wed Feb 27 2013, 16:17 hrs Washington : The size of a woman's ring finger can predict her entrepreneurship, career interests, and a host of other traits essential to success in a high stakes, high tech career, a new research has suggested. Economists Aldo Rustichini and Luigi Guiso hired a small army of 200 assistants to go out and interview over two thousand Italian men and women small-business owners and founders. While taking interviews, the scholars also captured images the entrepreneurs' right hand palms to measure the length of their ring fingers relative to their index fingers, according to the Huffington Post. Surprisingly they found that the ratio of ...
Fruit fly research may reveal what happens in female brains during courtship, mating

ScienceDaily... What are the complex processes in the brain involved with choosing a mate, and are these processes different in females versus males? It's difficult to study such questions in people, but researchers are finding clues in fruit flies that might be relevant to humans and other animals. Three different studies on the topic are being published in the Cell Press journals Neuron and Current Biology. Work over the past 100 years has largely focused on the overt courtship behaviors that male flies direct toward females. However, the female ultimately decides whether to reject the male or copulate with him. How does the female make this decision? In one Neuron paper, ...

PressTV... US and Japanese scientists withdraw their claim as to having found a simple way to make stem cells. The scientists had alleged through two papers that they had arrived at a method involving transformation of ordinary mouse cells into versatile stem cells by exposing them to a mildly acidic environment. On Wednesday, however, Nature, the journal which had carried the papers in January, released a retraction from Haruko Obokata, the key author of the papers and the other authors of the papers. The scientists thus acknowledged "extensive" errors that meant "we are unable to say without a doubt" that the method works. The retraction states: "These ...

Why Everyone is Wrong about Climate Change

Assigning blame for climate change that will happen with or without human activity on Earth constitutes a disingenuous discourse. The climate changes, and nearly everything on Earth and beyond it effects that change. From geological processes to biological evolution, to changes in the sun's output, to yes, even human activity - absolutely everything has an impact on the climate for better or for worse. Image: Climate change, and even exceptional global warming is nothing new. Even if humans managed to negate any impact they were having on the environment, ice ages, rising seas, and off-the-chart CO2 levels and temperatures are inevitable.

Antarctic Sea Ice Growing Despite Global Warming Warnings Sunday, 29 Jun 2014 10:37 AM By Sandy Fitzgerald The sea ice coverage around Antarctica over the weekend marked a record high, with the ice surrounding the continent measuring at 2.07 million square kilometers, according to an environmentalist and author who says the ice there has actually been increasing since 1979 despite continued warnings of global warming. The new record was posted for the first time by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign’s online record, The Cryosphere Today, early Sunday morning. It's not apparent if the record actually occurred on Friday or Saturday, says Harold Ambler on his blog, ...
Netflix Could Be Classified As a 'Cybersecurity Threat' Under New CISPA Rules

The cybersecurity bill making its way through the Senate right now is so broad that it could allow ISPs to classify Netflix as a "cyber threat," which would allow them to throttle the streaming service's delivery to customers. It would be a backdoor way for ISPs to undermine net neutrality, and it's one of the reasons why the Cybersecurity Information Protection Act of 2014—modeled on the CISPA bill that the internet has rallied against twice already—is so terrible for consumers (the other is the unfettered ferry of information between companies and the federal government, but that's another story).

Facebook has been experimenting on us. A new paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that Facebook intentionally manipulated the news feeds of almost 700,000 users in order to study “emotional contagion through social networks.” The researchers, who are affiliated with Facebook, Cornell, and the University of California–San Francisco, tested whether reducing the number of positive messages people saw made those people less likely to post positive content themselves. The same went for negative messages: Would scrubbing posts with sad or angry words from someone’s Facebook feed make that person write fewer gloomy updates? They tweaked the ...

TORONTO, June 27 (Xinhua) -- There's lush green lettuce, plump tomatoes and fragrant basil all growing in a bed of water in a 2, 000-sq-ft (about 186 square meters) greenhouse in Toronto, the largest city of Canada. It's all part of a pilot project an urban farmer is hoping will help showcase the benefits of a waste-free system which combines aquaculture and hydroponics. He's hoping the large-scale commercial aquaponics farm he built nearly two months ago will help persuade others into making the switch from conventional farming. "We're hoping to get connected with more farming groups in Ontario and help them access aquaponics and sort of get involved and start ...

ScienceAlert Staff The bananas look normal on the outside, but inside they’re fortified with alpha and beta carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A, and also gives the super fruit a unique orange flesh. If all goes well in these human trials, they will begin growing in Uganda by 2020 according to the researchers. The project, led by researchers from Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Australia, is one of the most significant biofortification projects in the world, and was backed with almost $10 million from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Bananas are a staple food in many regions of eastern Africa, but because of the fruit’s low levels of pro-vitamin A ...
