The problem with invisibility cloaks is that up until now, they always reflect a little bit of light, so the object being hidden is partially visible. Researchers at Duke University tweaked their fabrication technique to make up for this flaw and created a device that doesn’t give off that reflected image.

The Internet’s so-called “front page,” otherwise known as Reddit, has been getting some bad press of late due to the recent unmasking of its notorious troll, Violentacrez.
In the hubbub, the fact that the site is also a clearinghouse for small acts of random kindness has been overshadowed. In the midst of a dark news cycle, the story of a simple act– replacing a man’s worn tires–is a simple reminder of the power of unsolicited generosity.

“Star Trek” may have predicted the iPad and the iPhone, but who would have thought scientists could actually build a working tractor beam?
New York University physicists David Ruffner and David Grier have proposed how a working tractor beam might be assembled, according to a written statement. (For those who aren’t fans of the science fiction franchise, a tractor beam is a device that uses energy to pull an object toward itself.)

A 5,500-year-old tomb possibly belonging to a Stone Age chieftain has been unearthed at a megalithic monument in the shape of a ship called the Ale’s Stenar (Ale’s Stones). The tomb, in Sweden, was likely robbed of stones to build the Viking-era ship monument.
“We found traces — mostly imprints — of large boulders,” said lead archaeologist Bengst Söderberg of the Swedish National Heritage Board. “So my conviction is that some of the stones at least, they are standing on the ship setting.”

Late last week, Moog outed its LEV-96 sensoriactuator prototype and offered a glimpse at its latest R&D unit. Even though it’s still in the early phases of beta-testing, we were able to stop by the Moog Music factory for a closer look and a brief glimpse of the gear in action ahead of its appearance at Moogfest. While the unit is installed on acoustic guitars for the time being, the company says that similar tech can be used on other acoustic instruments and eventually to other surfaces — this is just the current manifestation. Since the tech modifies the guitar’s natural harmonics and string vibrations, the LEV-96 is getting cozy on both traditional acoustic guitars and those outfitted with pickups in its present state.

For years now, a steady slew of headlines have warned about the dangers of methamphetamine addiction, with many calling meth (nicknamed “ice,” “crystal,” or “crank”) the most dangerous drug in America.
However, according to new research from Toronto’s Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), when it comes to sheer deadliness, there’s an even bigger threat out there than meth: opioids.
