Posted by | Apr 5, 2018 | |

Facebook Inc. scans the links and images that people send each other on Facebook Messenger, and reads chats when they’re flagged to moderators, making sure the content abides by the company’s rules. If it doesn’t, it gets blocked or taken down. The company confirmed the practice after an interview published earlier this week with Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg raised questions about Messenger’s practices and privacy. Zuckerberg told Vox’s Ezra Klein a story about receiving a phone call related to ethnic cleansing in Myanmar. Facebook had detected people trying to send sensational messages through the Messenger app, he said....

The research found that drinking more than 100 grams of alcohol per week — equal to roughly seven standard drinks in the United States or five to six glasses of wine in the UK – increases your risk of death from all causes and in turn lowers your life expectancy. Recommended drinking limits in the United States are currently 98 grams for women and double for men – at two drinks per day – while limits in Italy, Spain and Portugal are...

Using laser tweezers, chemists nudged two atoms to bond

Using laser tweezers, chemists nudged two atoms to bond

Posted by | Apr 13, 2018 | , , |

It’s the first time chemists have manipulated two atoms to create a compound. For the first time, researchers have played matchmaker between two specific atoms, joining them together to form a molecule. Typically, chemists make molecules by mixing up many constituent atoms, some of which stick to each other to form the desired compounds. In the new, supercontrolled chemical reaction, researchers trapped a single sodium atom in one optical tweezer — a device that snares small particles in a laser beam — and a cesium atom in another tweezer. Both atoms were cooled to less than one ten-thousandth of...
