The Secret 1949 Radiation Experiment That Contaminated Washington The physicists who invented the nuclear bomb worked out of Los Alamos in California, but the people who did the dirty work of making the bombs were in Hanford, Washington. Throughout the Cold War, Hanford churned out plutonium...

I learned from a linguistics expert while in the USN. The Navy didn't have too many communications capable people (My focus was on submarine communications) who spoke Icelandic, since I made my way North a few times, I was tabbed for training in Icelandic. Considering Iceland is a NATO member...

From Today the LHC Runs at Full Power to Push the Limits of Physics As of today, the Large Hadron Collider will run at full, record-breaking power levels, as scientists kick off a new set of experiments that will help us understand the secrets of particle physics. After rebooting in March...

That's a horrible way to get people to read. Submarine crews, and anyone in an isolated situation, where contact with the outside is limit, falls prey to "group isolation", space station crews are subjected to this too.
