Crazed radicals (like the president of the Dallas Fed) think banks should suffer the consequences of their actions instead of relying on the government to underwrite executive bonuses. The theory behind bailouts of big financial institutions is that if they collapse they will infect other financial institutions.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Physicists know that neutrinos (and antineutrinos) come in three flavors: electron, muon, and tau. In several experiments, researchers have detected each of the neutrino flavors and even watched them “oscillate” back and forth between flavors. But starting in the early ‘90s, some experiments have also revealed a nagging anomaly: muon antineutrinos oscillate into electron antineutrinos at a 3% higher rate than predicted.

The Navy SEAL raid on Osama bin Laden's compound was the ultimate lesson in project management. Here are four relevant lessons in planning, executing, and shifting on a dime.

Climbers struggling the last few steps to the peak of Makalu in the Himalayas have long marveled at the sight of bar-headed geese flying high above to their winter refuge in India. The birds cruise at an altitude of 29,500 feet, nearly as high as commercial aircraft. For years scientists believed that strong tailwinds and updrafts aided the geese on their journey

In her new film, Connected, Webby Awards founder and Internet philosopher Tiffany Shlain sees digital connection as the next step in harnessing our collective brainpower--as long as we don’t lose our ability to relate to each other. Is technological connectivity mankind's next evolutionary step

I wrote a few months ago about how cloud companies are in a unique position to make partners of their competitors, a phenomenon I call the “Frenemy Model.” I’m still holding strong to this theory, even as there have been a number of massive developments in the industry since I wrote the first piece.

Charles Darwin had more in common with chimpanzees than even he realized.

(AP) -- Betting against Einstein and his theory of relativity is a way to go broke.

It was close to midnight, Pacific Standard Time, as one truck after another crept down a quiet, gated village road in the heart of Laguna Beach, one of the most beautiful oceanside communities in Southern California (as well as one of the most affluent and most expensive). Most of the ornate, sprawling stucco houses were in shadows, their owners asleep--with the exception of the very last house on the block. Considering the time of night, it was unusual to see one, let alone several, vehicles on the road
