But bosses at the complex banned the 72-year-old from going down the chippy for his friends - for health and safety reasons. picked by AutumnLotus 6 months ago

(PhysOrg.com) -- A primitive quantum computer that uses single particles of light (photons) whizzing through a silicon chip has performed its first mathematical calculation. This is the first time a calculation has been performed on a photonic chip and it is major step forward in the quest to realise a super-powerful quantum computer. picked by kakana 3 months ago

At around only $30 US, AnFx is a nifty little animation program that can output a Flash file or Java applet for websites. It is pretty easy to use, but experienced Flash users will be frustrated by its limitations. But if you're in it just for the fun, it does the job without having to go to school or invest hundreds of dollars for Flash. The online tutorials are helpful, if a little outdated loo... read full post picked by capriccio 3 years ago

When it comes to the hippocampus, a brain structure vital to certain types of memory, size matters. Numerous studies have shown that bigger is usually better. Now researchers have found that elderly adults who are more physically fit tend to have bigger hippocampi and better spatial memory than those who are less fit. picked by AutumnLotus 9 months ago

Scientists know little about how the brain assigns cells to participate in encoding and storing memories. Now a UCLA/University of Toronto team has discovered that a protein called CREB controls the odds of a neuron playing a role in memory formation. picked by AutumnLotus 3 years ago

A few days prior to the crash that killed Princess Diana, the Mercedes Benz in which she died was stolen! Strange thing is, when found the only thing missing from the car was the onboard computer chip; that chip is responsible for controlling steering, acceleration and braking!
