A fairground ride that reads your mind?
23.02.2015 16:16
A small and scholarly laboratory in north
London is home to a very unusual chair. Its
scarlet plastic bucket seat is suspended in
the air on black hydraulic elbows, and
coloured wires and pipes straggle around

thing, but this uninviting piece...

Why reading and writing on paper can be better for your brain
23.02.2015 16:10
My son is 18 months old, and I’ve been
reading books with him since he was born.
I say “reading”, but I really mean “looking
at” – not to mention grasping, dropping,
throwing, cuddling, chewing, and
everything else a tiny human being likes to
do. Over the last six months, though, he
has begun not...

Look at Earth from a Martian perspective

of any description is found on Mars, it is
virtually certain to be related to life...

On a bright, cold day in late November
2013, I found myself in the dark, eerie,
indoor expanses of Frankfurt’s Blade
Runner-like Festhalle Messe. I was there

day exhibition hosts the world’s most

reliable side-effects.
Now scientists have shown that the
insatiable urge...
Nature and sex redefined – we have never been binary
