You will remember this

Scientists can now predict memory of an event before it even happens. A team at UCL (University College London) can now tell how well memory will serve us before we have seen what we will remember.

Scans of brain activity, published online in the journal Nature Neuroscience, indicate that the brain can actually get into the ‘right frame of mind’ to store new information and that we perform at our best if the brain is active not only at the moment we get new information but also in the seconds before.

Porsche Unveils Most Powerful Non-Turbo 911 in History

Who wouldn’t love to have this!!!

Algorithm for fingerprint access created

University of Buffalo scientists say they’ve created software that may help make it possible to access Web sites and run some devices with just a fingerprint.

The UB research addresses the question of how much security is possible with fingerprints, given that most commercial sensors tend to capture only partial prints.

Top Ten Tips For Being a Successful Joyful Entrepreneur

A JOYFUL entrepreneur? I know it’s more popular to think of entrepreneurs as “haggard,” working hard and hustling to make their mark. But you can have a successful business with ease.

Is our universe about to be mangled?

Our universe may one day be obliterated or assimilated by a larger universe, according to a controversial new analysis. The work suggests the parallel universes proposed by some quantum theorists may not actually be parallel but could interact – and with disastrous consequences.

Random quantum fluctuations mean the behaviour of particles and photons of light cannot be predicted exactly. The quantum equations that describe them contain a variety of different – and opposing – outcomes in their solution, such as a particular particle causing a bell to both ring and not ring in an experimental setup. Physicists then have to use an equation called the Born rule to calculate the probability of the bell ringing, and countless experiments have shown the rule works.

But researchers have long struggled to understand why a bell will ring – or not ring – in any given run of an experiment, since in theory it has the option of doing both. This conundrum, known as the quantum measurement problem, has led a small subset of physicists to argue that in fact the bell does do both – but that each possible outcome takes place in a different, parallel universe that pops into existence during the experiment.
