Large Hadron Collider (LHC) rests for 2 months

The collider, responsible for driving fellow earth links into mass hysteria because of its possibility to produce black holes on earth, is shut down for 2 months due to magnetic failures.

LHC was actually created to collide protons using high kinetic energy to prove the existence of Higgs boson particles.

With only 2 months more to go, our hope now lies with Gordon Freeman. We'll be safe. Promise.

Scientists getting close to invisibility

If you've ever dreamed about how cool it is to be snooping around in Harry's cloak, science has made it possible.

Scientists at Hogwarts University of California, Berkeley has found a way to to deflect lights around three dimensional objects through the use of "metamaterials"; a series of teflon and fiber.

These materials bend visible lights so they don't create reflections or shadows, rendering it invisible to the eyes.

Oh snap, looks like Harry's getting a contender after all.

A future powered by kites?

Not resting on their laurels, Dutch scientists have created a better way to play your kites - by electrifying it.

Scientists from Delft University managed to generate at least 10 kilowatts of juice, good enough to power 10 houses by using kites.

Fooh, and just when we thought kites were for kids.
