Forget the flavor of quarks and bring on the Bordeaux.

Finally! A simple way to date that pricey wine. All you need is...a particle accelerator.

Seems some clever French scientists have figured out a way to determine the exact date of vintage wine using a particle accelerator.

Yep, seems scientists have been counting cows - or at least noting that herds of cows and deer tend to orient themselves via magnetic north/south.

Animals using an internal magnetic compass isn't new, but it seems this is the first observation to include larger mammals.

And the inspiration that led researchers to check out this behavior in large mammals? Yep. Rats. African mole-rats with their very own OEM onboard GPS. A more technical version of Rat Radar can be found here.

You knew there'd be rats. Outrim: Finding rats in the news so you don't have to!
