Can People Really Be Telekinetic?
It's one of the coolest super powers out there: telekinesis. And if the mind really is as powerful as it's believed to be, is it possible? Trace opens his mind, and goes in search for the answer.

Are Men Going Extinct?
Are Men Going Extinct?
For 3 years now, it has been widely debated whether or not the Y chromosome will disappear. Will men cease to exist on Earth without the gene that created them?

Your Cat Doesn't Care About You
Your Cat Doesn't Care About You
True cat people really love their animals. But do their felines love them back? Anthony tells us about a new study that sheds some light on what cats REALLY think of their owners. Read More: Vocal recognition of owners by domestic cats (Felis catus) http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10071-013-0620-4 "Domestic cats have had a 10,000-year history of cohabitation with humans and seem to have the ability to communicate with humans. However, this has not been widely examined. We studied 20 domestic cats to investigate whether they could recognize their owners by using voices that called out the subjects' names, with a habituation-dishabituation method." Cats recognise their owners' voices but never evolved to care, says study http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/cats-recognise-their-owners-voices-but-never-evolved-to-care-says-study-8966580.html Japanese researchers tested cats' reactions to their owners, suggesting that because cats "domesticated themselves" they never needed to take notice New Theory: Hunter-Gatherers Domesticated Dogs From Gray Wolves http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/13/131114-europe-dog-domestication-wolves-hunter-gatherers/ "Man's best friends may have started off as European gray wolves, according to scientists whose research is challenging earlier thinking around where and why dogs became domestic animals." How Animal Domestication Works http://science.howstuffworks.com/zoology/all-about-animals/animal-domestication3.htm "How a wolf could transform from suspicious, wild beast to obedient, cuddly Fido may seem mystifying or even unbelievable.

When You Can't Scratch Away An Itch
When You Can't Scratch Away An Itch
Nothing is more annoying than a really bad itch. But imagine an itch you could never scratch away. Scarily, it's a real thing. Anthony explains a possible treatment for chronic itchiness, and the fascinating way our body processes that 'itchy' sensation. Read More: Scientists Unravel Mechanisms in Chronic Itching http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/10/131015123338.htm "Anyone who has suffered through sleepless nights due to uncontrollable itching knows that not all itching is the same." Why We Itch http://www.livescience.com/7181-itch.html "Itchy skin fires up nerves and drives sufferers to scratch themselves raw, some even in their sleep. But the mechanisms behind aggravating itches are not entirely understood, and a new finding makes the whole problem seem even more complex." Nociceptor http://www.sciencedaily.com/articles/n/nociceptor.htm "A nociceptor is a sensory receptor that sends signals that cause the perception of pain in response to potentially damaging stimulus." Why do we itch? http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/3095/why-do-we-itch "As bodily defense mechanisms go, pain makes sense: put your hand on a hot stove and your body screams "Get out of here!" But what's the purpose of itching? Chicken pox, mosquito bites, hemorrhoids, and rashes: why do we instinctively react by scratching?" Solved! The Mystery of the Maddening Itch http://science.time.com/2013/05/23/solved-the-mystery-of-the-maddening-itch/ "O.K., so it doesn't quite rank up there with unraveling the cause of Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. But with mosquito and poison-ivy season on the way, plenty of folks would be grateful for an answer to a more mundane question: What is the neurological basis of the pruritic response? Or in plain English: Why do we itch?" Spiders! Ants! Did that make you itchy? Here's why http://www.nbcnews.com/health/spiders-ants-did-make-you-itchy-heres-why-1C6437198 "WARNING: Reading the following post will make you itchy."
