Date Time Joyful Screams Perceived More Strongly than Screams of Fear or Anger The human scream signals more than fear of imminent danger or entanglement in social conflicts. Screaming can also express joy or excitement. For the first time, researchers at the University of Zurich have demonstrated that non-alarming screams are even perceived and processed by the brain more efficiently than their alarming counterparts. When a person screams out in pleasure, other people perceive this more strong...

Latest EPC statistics reveals percentage of new homes to bag top EPC ratings is on the rise, but top scores remain uncommon for older homes

Date Time Share SLAC It’s an example of how surprising properties can spontaneously emerge in complex materials – a phenomenon scientists hope to harness for novel technologies. Creating a two-dimensional material, just a few atoms thick, is often an arduous process requiring sophisticated equipment. So scientists were surprised to see 2D puddles emerge inside a three-dimensional superconductor – a material that allows electrons to travel with 100% efficiency and zero resistance – with...
