The Full-Length Zombie Movie Made By Physics Students At CERN

by Jill Pantozzi | 5:49 pm, December 11th, 2012

Last month we showed you a trailer for Decay, a film being made by Luke Thompson and Clara Nellist, both Ph.D. students in physics. They filmed it at CERN, which you may know is home to the Large Hadron Collider, and it the plot involves the Higgs Boson particle turning people into zombies. If that doesn’t sell you, I don’t know what will. You can find out more information at DecayFilm.com but now, sit back, relax, and enjoy the feature.

Missing Moon Rocks Returned to Their Rightful Home: Alaska, Also Deadliest Catch Is Connected

by Susana Polo | 4:17 pm, December 11th, 2012

There are so few moon rocks (that is, rocks from the Moon. Confusing, I know) on Earth that they’re considered priceless. Twenty years ago, 0.2 grams of lunar rock sold at auction for more than four hundred thousand dollars. There are indeed many tiny pieces of lunar rock in the possession of various museums and governments around the world, and only partially because of the goodwill rock, a specimen chosen specifically by the astronauts of Apollo 17, the last Apollo mission, to be broken up and distributed with a piece for 135 nations, and every U.S. state and territory.

But when that happened, Alaska already had their moon rocks. But then in 1973 they literally lost them in a fire.

Salt 2 Gets a New, Female Screenwriter, Another Chance At Existing

by Susana Polo | 2:47 pm, December 11th, 2012

After Salt made more than $300 million when its box office was tallied, Salt 2 seemed like an obvious choice. But after the first movie’s director bowed out of any franchise plans and Angelina Jolie herself rejected the first attempt at a script, things seemed dead in the water. At least until now, when Columbia Pictures has hired Becky Johnston to take another run at the script.

Soon You’ll Be Sharing Messages On Your Contact Lenses

by Jill Pantozzi | 1:59 pm, December 11th, 2012

I’ll admit, the only time I’ve worn contact lenses is for cosplay and they bother the hell out of me. I know if you really need them you can get an eye doctor to specially fit them to your eye but still, the feeling is weird. Suffice to say, I think having a message displayed to your retina from a contact lens is pretty disconcerting. But well, here comes the future!
