Researchers have discovered that increasing production of a protein called RGS-14 could significantly boost visual memory. They are currently investigating the exact effects on humans, but all I can think is: Photographic memory in pill form.

Wolbachia, a bacterial parasite, enters a host cell, then Wolbachia DNA is incorporated into the DNA of the host cell.

Efimov’s prediction made In 1970, the young Russian physicist worked at a nuclear physics institute in Leningrad and he was attracted by the challenging three-body problem in quantum physics. He was inspired by theoretical work of L. H. Thomas, published in 1935, on the triton (the nucleus of the tritium atom) as a fundamental three-body system. Efimov focused his attention on the situation of three identical bosons with resonant two-body interactions

The field of quantum physics has allowed information to be teleported, a fact that makes geek sall around the world hopeful for future human teleportation. We’re not quite there yet, but a physicist at Tohoku University in Japan has outlined, for the first time ever, how we might use quantum principles to teleport energy.

You have to hand it to MIT; even when they fail to accomplish what they set out to do, they end up inventing something wonderfully cool. This was the case when researchers there tried to develop a new method for printing circuits onto plastic. Their efforts weren’t turning up the results they wanted, but after a while they realized that they’d done something even more amazing: they’d created the world’s first printed Microelectromechanical devices (MEMs).

Bloom Energy showcased a number of customers today -- FedEx, Walmart, Staples, Google, Coca-Cola, Bank of America, Cox, and of course, eBay -- and if the numbers meet their mark, you can color us mighty impressed. You know the drill: gallery below, quick video after the break!

Chlorine gas was once used as a choking agent during World War I. Though potentially lethal, it was later replaced by the deadlier gases phosgene and mustard gas.
