The 'Miracle' Berry That Could Replace Sugar - David Cox - The Atlantic

The 'Miracle' Berry That Could Replace Sugar - David Cox - The Atlantic: "Of all our senses, taste is the one that people associate most strongly with expectations of pleasure. But indulgence comes at a cost. Almost 45 percent of the American population will be clinically obese by 2030, according to current predictions. That will increase the total toll on the healthcare system from related illnesses, like diabetes and heart disease, to a staggering $60 billion."

Big Hospital Finally telling the truth about Cancer, Johns Hopkins | Wausau News: "FTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY …

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size."

First fundamentally new lubricant in decades created from liquid crystals

First fundamentally new lubricant in decades created from liquid crystals: "The world uses tens of millions of tons of lubricant every year, from the smallest part of a micro-precision instrument to the expansion rollers on the largest bridges. Most are oil based, though others use powders, and even metals, and it’s been that way for decades. That could be changing as the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials (IWM), Nematel GmbH, and Dr. Tillwich GmbH have developed a new class of lubricants that are based on liquid crystals instead of oil. According to Fraunhofer, this is the first fundamentally new lubricant developed in twenty years."

If You Want To Dig Through The Earth To Get To China, You’d Better Start In?

If You Want To Dig Through The Earth To Get To China, You’d Better Start In?: "Although the trope of “digging to China” was a common one in mid-20th century Western cartoons like those produced by Warner Brothers, and many a parent has joked that their child, furiously digging in the sand box, was working on digging their way to China, it turns out digging your way through the Earth (if such a feat were possible) from anywhere in, say, North America, doesn’t get you anywhere near China. In fact, you’d end up in the ocean off the coast of Australia."

Images recovered 100 years later show German soldiers during WWI | Mail Online

Images recovered 100 years later show German soldiers during WWI | Mail Online: "They lay forgotten in a dank cellar for almost a century. But these remarkable photos, published for the first time, give  a rare and uncensored view of the horrors of the First World War from behind enemy lines.

They were taken by Walter Kleinfeldt who joined a German gun crew in 1915 and fought at the Somme aged just 16. As his haunting pictures, taken with a Contessa camera, make all too clear, life in the  trenches was a harrowing experience. The images provide an insight into the epic machinery of war – and capture the darkest moments of battle, with bodies strewn among the rubble."

Structural supercapacitors could make batteries and power cords obsolete

Structural supercapacitors could make batteries and power cords obsolete: "Imagine using a mobile phone powered entirely by its casing, or an electric car that runs off power stored in its chassis. Researchers at Vanderbilt University have created a structural supercapacitor that could, they believe, bring this closer to reality, making batteries and power cords obsolete. The structural supercapacitor could make it possible to store energy directly in structural materials, allowing them to deliver power long-term while surviving the real-life mechanical stresses they're bound to experience."

Backlash to Big Bang Discovery Gathers Steam - Scientific American

Backlash to Big Bang Discovery Gathers Steam - Scientific American: "On March 17 Paul Steinhardt, a physicist at Princeton University, abandoned a theory he’d been championing for more than a decade. Known as the “ekpyrotic universe” model, it was an alternative to the prevailing theory of inflation, which says the cosmos expanded faster than the speed of light in the first fraction of a fraction of a second of the big bang. If inflation is true, then the process should have released a burst of gravity waves; in Steinhardt’s model, they shouldn’t exist."

That's why he and his colleagues have created an oral capsule that relieves constipation by vibrating its way along the intestinal tract."

The Truth About Sell By Dates: "Up to 90% of us toss food prematurely because we think “sell by,” “best before,” “best if used by,” and “use by” dates all indicate food safety—a mix-up that sends $165 billion worth of food to trash cans every year, says a new report by the Natural Resources Defense Council and Harvard Law School. “Most ‘best by’ and ‘use by’ dates are manufacturers’ recommendations for best quality, not safety,” says Marianne Gravely of the USDA. “For most foods, you can tell if it’s gone bad by its look or smell: If a refrigerated food is past its ‘best by’ date but looks and smells OK, it’s fine. If it smells bad, shows mold, has a slimy feel, or looks odd, that’s a sign it’s spoiled.” Combine date info with common sense and you’ll be cool."
