A recent scientific breakthrough could be a huge help to victims of drug-facilitated sexual assault.
Scientists from the British Loughborough University and Spain’s University of Cordoba have shown that a simple saliva test could be used to detect the date rape drug GHB, as well as various types of alcohol, in a patient’s system.
To conduct their study, published in the Journal of Breath Research, the researchers “spiked” healthy saliva samples with methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol and GHB. Then they successfully used techniques called thermal desorption, gas chromatography and differential mobility spectrometry to isolate and detect the potentially harmful substances.
Using that process, the researchers hope to eventually develop a GHB test that’s as quick and easy as spitting in a cup. According to the Engineer, researcher Paul Thomas intends for the test to be “as simple as taking temperature with a thermometer that detects when patients are more than just drunk.”

Everything you want in a luxury gaming laptop–almost.
PC makers aren’t known to swing for the fences when they build new laptops. The heart of their business isn’t about making the best laptop they possibly can. It’s about checking the right boxes, hitting the right price points and staking out a good spot on the shelves at Best Buy. You’ll find plenty of good enough Windows-based laptops these days, but if you’re willing to pay for a laptop in pursuit of perfection–well, there’s a reason Apple dominates the premium PC market.
Razer, however, is in an unusual position. The company’s bread and butter isn’t laptops and desktops, but peripherals like mouses and keyboards, specifically aimed at PC gamers. Razer is unencumbered by the need to sell PCs to the masses. Instead, every so often when the company decides to build a PC, it can swing for the fences.
The $1,800-and-up Razer Blade is the company’s latest effort, and a valiant one. It’s a 14-inch laptop built for gaming, but you might not know it from appearances alone. At 0.66 inches thick and cut from a slab of aluminum, the Razer Blade takes some design cues from Apple, but with plenty of its own flourishes. The case is a deep black, with a slight downward contour where Razer’s bright green hydra logo resides. Beneath the razor-thin lid lies a backlit keyboard–the same shade of green, of course–flanked by some surprisingly loud stereo speakers.
