Mobile Payment Technology Set for Liftoff Published Fri, Dec 18, 2015 | Louis Basenese, Chief Technology Analyst Mobile Payments: $210 Billion Market Poised for Liftoff It’s a market worth $210 billion… but like many modern-day conveniences, it’s one that we’re increasingly taking for granted. I’m talking about mobile payments – the ability to do all your banking and buying directly from a mobile device. And the critical technology that underpins this market – near-field communication (NFC) – might be finally approaching a tipping point. The reason? Well, many people might understandably point to Apple Inc.’s (AAPL) mobile payment ...
Brain scans are helping scientists create a condom that feels better than nothing at all

ScienceAlert... It's no secret that condoms are a hard sell when it comes to the pleasure factor, but scientists in Australia are now working to create condoms that feel just as good (if not better) than wearing nothing at all. To figure this out, they're monitoring people's neurological response to different materials to see whether they can really trick the brain into thinking a condom feels like skin. Despite being such a frequently used item, condom design hasn't really changed over the past century, and young people today report being less and less inclined to use them. But scientists from Swinburne University of Technology are hoping to change that by making condoms ...

Reopening of oldest nuclear reactor delayed Published: 01 Dec 2015 08:12 GMT+01:00 One of two reactors at the world’s oldest operating nuclear power plant in Beznau in the canton of Aargau will remain shut down until at least August 2016, its owner Axpo said on Monday. The number one reactor at the site was shut down in May for maintenance and tests. Faults were uncovered in the reactor’s pressure vessel in July. Axpo said it must “prove that the integrity of the reactor pressure vessel has not been compromised despite the irregularities that were found”.
Based on the current results, the energy company said it remains convinced that the number one ...
The new rationale for globalist cultism is ‘ecological panic’

The new rationale for globalist cultism is ‘ecological panic’ Posted on December 15, 2015 by Brandon Smith Faith in an ideology based on a desire for power over others and the need to feel personally superior without any legitimate accomplishment is perhaps the most dangerous state of being an individual or society can adopt. I would refer to such a mindset as “zealotry,” an integral element of cultism and an extreme result of the elitist side of faith. Zealotry and cultism are not limited to the realm of the religious. Zealotry is a clever devil hiding in the woodwork of any political or academic construct, and this includes the scientific community when it strays ...

ScienceAlert... Advocates of vegetarianism – including everybody's favourite Governator – regularly point out how how harmful human consumption of meat is to the environment, but is opting for a fully vegetable-based, meat-free diet a viable way to cut down on energy use and greenhouse gas emissions? Nope – according to a new study by scientists in the US – or, at least, it's not that simple. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) say that adopting the US Department of Agriculture's (USDA) current recommendations that people incorporate more fruits, vegetables, dairy and seafood in their diet would actually be worse for the environment than what ...

ScienceAlert... While we wait patiently for fully autonomous, self-driving cars to go on sale to the general public, our vehicles remain under human control for the time being - but scientists in China have come up with a more futuristic method of getting from A to B. Using special mind-reading headgear, their new car can be made to move forward and backwards using nothing more than a few concentrated thoughts. A total of 16 sensors on a specially developed brain cap are used to harvest electroencephalogram (EEG) signals from the mind of the driver, which are then translated into commands for the high-tech car. The researchers behind the project say development has taken just two years, ...

ScienceAlert... First announced back in 2013, with an upgraded prototype unveiled earlier this year, Terrafugia's TF-X flying car is about as close as the world’s gotten to our collective dream of someday commuting via cloud alleys. And now the Massachusetts-based aircraft company has hit its next big milestone - the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has given it special permission to run in-air tests with an autonomous drone version of its flying car. Now, before you get too excited, the model they’ll be testing in US airspace is not only unmanned - it's a mere tenth of the size of their actual flying car prototype. But that's not so bad, because having the ...

Adidas has teamed up with Parley for the Oceans — a movement aimed at eliminating the plastic waste that ends up in our seas — to create a new 3D-printed sneaker concept. The design consists of an upper made from "ocean plastic content" and a 3D-printed midsole made from recycled polyester and fishing nets. Adidas says the shoe "stands for how we can set new industry standards," but unfortunately it's just a prototype for now — don't expect to see it in stores any time soon. "Saving the oceans is a United Nations development goal" Parley is hoping its collaboration with Adidas (which began earlier this year with a similar design using ...

RT... That man's best friend has self-consciousness is what every owner is willing to bet on. I have always thought my dogs know exactly who they are. Dogs are self-conscious. But the problem in science is that ideas and assumptions must be demonstrated. An ethological discovery by a researcher at Tomsk State University in Russia changes our idea of self-consciousness. The research revolutionizes the idea of self-awareness in animals and suggests a new approach to ethology, the study of animal behavior, which may shed light on different ways of determining cognition, and reopens the debate of ethologists (and philosophers) on self-consciousness. The article has been published in the ...

ScienceAlert... During a meeting of NASA’s advisory council earlier this month, NASA’s chief of human spaceflight, William Gerstenmaier, said: "We’re going to get out of ISS as quickly as we can," Ars Technica reported. After leaving its post on board the ISS, NASA hopes to return to a destination that NASA astronauts haven’t visited since 1972: the Moon. It’s unclear whether astronauts will set foot on the Moon. What is clear, however, is that NASA’s looking to send manned missions in orbit around the Moon – to a region called cislunar space – by the late 2020s. Out there, astronauts will be days, instead of hours, from Earth. They will ...

Science Magazine/YouTube You probably didn't notice, but a few hours ago, the world took a huge step towards the goal of achieving clean, limitless energy through nuclear fusion. Physicists in Germany announced that they've just fired up one of the world's largest nuclear fusion machines for the first time – and it was successfully able to contain super-hot blobs of helium gas, otherwise known as plasma. The 16-metre-wide machine is the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) and it's a type of nuclear fusion device called a stellarator. Scientists have been talking about the enormous potential of stellarators for decades, but this is the first time a team has shown that it can ...
