| Einstein's 'spooky' theory may lead to ultra-secure Internet Posted: 24 Mar 2014 07:45 PM PDT Einstein's skepticism about quantum mechanics may lead to an ultra-secure Internet, a new paper suggests. In 1935, Einstein and researchers highlighted a 'spooky' theory in quantum mechanics, which is the strange way entangled particles stay connected even when separated by large distances. In the new research, the authors show that entangled messages "can be shared between more than two people and may provide unprecedented security for a future quantum Internet." |

| Face it: Instagram pictures with faces are more popular Posted: 20 Mar 2014 10:47 AM PDT Instagram pictures with human faces are 38 percent more likely to receive "likes" than photos with no faces. They're also 32 percent more likely to attract comments, research shows. The researchers also found that the number of faces in the photo, their age or gender didn't make a difference. On average, pictures of kids or teens aren't any more popular than those of adults, even though Instagram is most popular among younger people. |
