Physics could be behind the secrets of crop-circle artists
In this month’s edition of Physics World, Richard Taylor, director of the Materials Science Institute at the University of Oregon, takes a serious, objective look at a topic that critics might claim is beyond scientific understanding – crop circles. As the global crop-circle phenomenon grows alongside advances in science and technology, Taylor notes how physics [...]
Put the brakes on using your brain power
German researchers have used drivers’ brain signals, for the first time, to assist in braking, providing much quicker reaction times and a potential solution to the thousands of car accidents that are caused by human error. Using electroencephalography (EEG) ? a technique that attaches electrodes to the scalp ? the researchers demonstrated that the mind-reading [...]
Common Korean surname tells tale of nationhood
The most common surname in Korea – Kim – has been traced back 1500 years using a statistical model, providing evidence of a strong, stable culture that has remained intact to this day. In a study published today in the Institute of Physics and German Physical Society’s New Journal of Physics, researchers have been able [...]
