Towards the end of February, scientists in the US announced that they had created a so-called brain-to-brain interface that made it possible for one rat to influence another one's behavior with the help of brain signals sent via the Internet alone. Scientists at the University of Washington now say that they have successfully performed the same experiment on humans. What they did was set up a human-to-human brain interface that made it possible for a researcher to control the hand motions of one of his colleagues....read more

The NSA bugged offices in the UN's New York headquarters as part of a comprehensive surveillance program, says Der Spiegel. According to files leaked by Edward Snowden, the agency has bugged more than 80 embassies and consulates under a program called the "Special Collection Service." The program is "intensive and well organized and has little or nothing to do with warding off terrorists." In New York, that included tapping into video conference calls, which the NSA managed to do in the summer of 2012. ...read more

Apple patented the means to transmit an encoded signal to all wireless devices, commanding them to disable recording functions. Those policies would be activated by GPS, and WiFi or mobile base-stations, which would ring-fence ("geofence") around a building or a "sensitive area" to prevent phone cameras from taking pictures or recording video. Apple may implement the technology, but it would not be Apple's decision to activate the "feature" – it would be down governments, businesses and network owners to set such policies, analyzes ZDNet technology website.

Noctilucent Clouds and Aurora.
Displays of Noctilucent Clouds and Aurora during one night are rare.Noctilucent Clouds, NLC's for short, (aka Night Shining Clouds or Polar Mesospheric Clouds) are the world's highest types of cloud forming on the edge of space at height of about 80 km (50 miles) which is also height where auroras occur. Unlike most of other clouds types, which are mostly made of water vapour, NLCs are comprised of extremely small ice crystals. They are normally too faint to be seen, and are visible only when illuminated by sunlight from below the horizon while the lower layers of the atmosphere are in the Earth's shadow. They can be observed in the summer months at latitudes between 50° and 70° north and south of the equator.

With so much press surrounding the NSA and privacy concerns, it's important to know the alternatives to providing Internet information through your browser. While not as nostalgic a solution as Russia's, anonymous browsing could be the perfect revolution for the Internet Surveillance Age. In order to understand this type of browsing, we need to examine how "normal" browsers work. read more

Eye surgeon blames smartphones for increase in short sightedness
If you've been experiencing worsening eye problems over the last several years, you aren't alone. An eye surgeon in the U.K. has noticed a 35 percent increase in the number of patients diagnosed with advancing myopia (short sightedness) which he believes is being cause by smartphones.
NSA violated privacy rules thousands of times, leaked audit reveals
An audit leaked by The Washington Post has revealed a staggering amount of privacy violations performed by the National Security Agency (NSA), resulting in thousands of cases of unauthorized surveillance on Americans each year.
Google now automatically encrypts all Google Cloud Storage data
Google's Cloud Storage service now encrypts all data before it is written to disk using the 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). The search giant recently announced as much via their Cloud Platform blog, noting the change will come without additional charge for customers.

New species of carnivore looks like a cross between a house cat and a teddy bear
Observed in the wild, tucked away in museum collections, and even exhibited in zoos around the world -- there is one mysterious creature that has been a victim of mistaken identity for more than 100 years. A team of Smithsonian scientists, however, uncovered overlooked museum specimens of this remarkable animal, which took them on a journey from museum cabinets in Chicago to cloud forests in South America to genetics labs in Washington, D.C. The result: the olinguito (Bassaricyon neblina) -- the first carnivore species to be discovered in the American continents in 35 years.
Voyager 1 has left the solar system
Voyager 1 appears to have at long last left our solar system and entered interstellar space, says a University of Maryland-led team of researchers. Their model indicates Voyager 1 actually entered interstellar space a little more than a year ago, a finding directly counter to recent articles suggesting the spacecraft was still in a fuzzily-defined transition zone between the Sun's sphere of influence and the rest of the galaxy.
Superconducting wire yields unprecedented performance
The ability to control nanoscale imperfections in superconducting wires results in materials with unparalleled and customized performance, according to a new study.

Invisibility cloak made from simple mirrors can stop time indefinitely
Researchers at Northwestern University have designed an invisibility cloak that can temporally hide objects for an indefinite period of time. Objects covered by this invisibility cloak wouldn't disappear from sight, but rather it would appear that time has completely stopped for the cloaked object. A clock, for example, would continue to tick -- but to the human observer, the hands would never move.
Plastic solar cells' new design promises bright future
Harvesting energy directly from sunlight to generate electricity using photovoltaic technologies is a very promising method for producing electricity in an environmentally benign fashion. Polymer solar cells offer unique attractions, but the challenge has been improving their power-conversion efficiency. Now a research team reports the design and synthesis of new polymer semiconductors and reports polymer solar cells with fill factors of 80 percent -- a first. This number is close to that of silicon solar cells.
First hundred thousand years of our universe
Researchers have taken the furthest look back through time yet -- 100 years to 300,000 years after the Big Bang -- and found tantalizing new hints of clues as to what might have happened.
