“The Innovator” and “Development” At SXSW, 2 Tales Of Science Gone...
While thousands of people lined up to check out Amazon’s epic “Omens” activation at SXSW, others escaped the heat and lined up for a couple of documentaries about science gone right, and terribly wrong. The true story of Jim Allison, whose revoutionary cancer treatment is saving thousands of lives. He was awarded the 2018 Nobel…
Sunfish Larger Than a Jacuzzi Got Lost and Cleaned Up in...
A fish so mysterious that scientists named it the "hoodwinker" because it had eluded them for decades has washed ashore in California, thousands of miles from its home in the Southern Hemisphere. And this isn't just any fish. At 7 feet (2.1 meters) long, this particular hoodwinker sunfish is larger than a four-person hot tub.…
Where Are All the ‘Sparticles’ That Could Discuss What’s Incorrect with...

And unfortunately, there aren't a lot of flattering adjectives that can be applied to the so-called Standard Model. Built up bit by bit over the course of decades, this theory of fundamental physics is best…
Wall Street is getting one important thing incorrect on Ferrari (RACE)

At-Residence Mind Stimulation – What Might Presumably Go Unsuitable?
There are nearly a dozen neurostimulation devices on the market that claim to improve cognitive function by allowing you to zap your brain with a small electrical current. But just because you can now do this at home doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. Attaching electrodes to your own head is risky business. Getty Electrical brain…
Researchers Wished To Utilize Lasers to Guide Aliens to Earth. What...
We could build a laser that could send signals to extraterrestrial intelligence. Not we as in the staff of Live Science. (That's probably beyond our skill set.) But we as in humanity. A new paper published yesterday (Nov. 5) in The Astrophysical Journal has found that humanity could feasibly build an infrared laser hot and bright…
Apple and Microsoft are both making a huge bet on the...
Just last week, Microsoft unveiled a brand new laptop lineup that has zero compatibility with the latest standard for connecting accessories — USB-C. In other words, these laptops may sport 2018 specs, but are about as cutting-edge as devices released in 2015. Meanwhile, Microsoft's direct competitor Apple has a polar opposite approach: Give the people…
