  • Scientists from Nottingham Trent University have found that being pleasant and facially expressive improves your negotiating skills.  Here's what we know:
  • Scientists at NTU found that facially expressive people are seen as more likeable and socially successful
  • Scientists analyzed 1500 conversations between strangers noting who was liked
  • Being facially expressive helps make you more readable and acceptable
  • Facial expressions also have a positive influence on conflict resolution
  • Bottom line:  Use of facial expressions makes us more likeable. And as we produce more facial movements than other species, we should take advantage of it instead of showing our poker face
  • Remember showing your Mom that puppy dog face when you wanted seconds on dessert?  You may want to dust off that look because it may cut a big deal for you in adult negotiations.

  • The US Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency, DARPA, is developing a highly advanced quantum laser that could revolutionize military operations, autonomous driving and more.  Here are some key facts:
  • Quantum laser uses "entangled photons" to outshine conventional laser beams
  • Sees through extremely dense fog and over very long distances
  • Literally glues light particles together to generate highly concentrated laser beam
  • Why so important?  could have significant impact on military operations, lidar for autonomous cars, satellites and quantum computing
  • DARPA just awarded engineers at Washington University of St. Louis $1 million to continue to develop this new technology.
