Cool. They used Einstein's actual hair to make that video.

I haven't done the math on this.

I haven't done the math on this.

By one person? By 1 million people?

Faster and cheaper cure: drink a glass of water in between drinks.

It'll at least keep you hydrated.

I went there for the first time a few years ago. I was disappointed in the space exhibits, but the rest of that place was seriously cool!

I'd recommend it highly to anyone.

Good advice, I don't drink enough to get a hangover. I just thought it was an interesting article.

I thought this was a fascinating and easily understood article about why we won't be going to Mars anytime soon. It also answers the question why unmanned probes to the Red Planet use different braking technologies (retro rockets, parachutes and inflatable "crash bags") in the re-entry and landing process; they have to.

Great. Now the gun nuts are going to be clearing the shelves of ping-pong balls.

It’s one of the first natural surfaces found to kill bacteria simply by virtue of its physical structure, Nature reported: an array of hexagonal “nanopillars” on the wings of a clanger cicada (Psaltoda claripennis) can put enough strain on bacterial cells to rupture them. The findings, published last month (February 19) in Biophysical Journal, detail how this nanoscale structure can be so deadly.
