How neutrinos, which barely exist, just ran off with another Nobel Prize
October 7, 2015 by
John Beacom, Ohio State University
Neutrinos take patience. They’re worth it, and the announcement of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics recognizes that, following related prizes in 1988 and 2002. Ironically, these near-undetectable particles can reveal things that cannot be seen any other way.

He Gave His 84 Year Old Grandma An iPad. When He Returned 30 Minutes Later, She Had Done THIS.
May 17, 2015 by
When a user on Reddit decided to surprise his grandma with a new iPad, this is probably the last thing he expected to happen. Here’s what he said:
Bought my Grandma an iPad. She’s 84 and never had a tablet, and wanted it for “art.” I bought ArtRage for her and left her alone with her new toy for 30 minutes. This is what I came back to.
Whoa.
Like one person said on the original post, “Admit it. You bought your Grandma a mirror.”

One thing is certain: Grandma has got some skills. Share this with others and make her day.
