How exactly does the technology we use to read change the way we read? Fascinating feature by SA neuroscience editor +Ferris Jabr.
Using cutting edge techniques, a team of astronomers has directly imaged a distant system of four planets, and made history by obtaining simultaneous spectra of these worlds. This first comparative look reveals that the objects each have distinct atmospheric compositions, none of which directly match any previously known class of astrophysical body.
"Superman made the case to reporters that simply slowing down the meteor would have had nearly the same effect as what the residents of Chelyabinsk experienced."
Chris Arnade writes: In 2000 a young PhD in mathematics approached me about a job before eventually landing at a European bank in research. In 2004 he started proprietary trading, where traders bet with the bank’s money. Pay was 15% of the profits. In 2005 he bought obscure and high-yielding corporate bonds, which generated profits of $40 million. He took home $6 million. In 2006 he made $80 million and took home $12 million. In 2007 the world turned and the group was disbanded as losses mounted. He was dismissed, and his trades eventually lost the firm close to $300 million.
How does the Eiffel Tower measure up against a giant Sequoia, or a large virus? A clever interactive graphic lets you sail through the universe on a grand tour of the scale of (practically) everything.
As a warm-up exercise to building an experiment to demonstrate quantum entanglement, SA blogger George Musser sandwiched his source of entangled photons—a disk of radioactive sodium-22—between two Geiger counters and left the system to run overnight, measuring how often the Geigers click at the same time.
