Physicists solve sticky problem with levitation
A way of making tiny objects levitate by reversing a mysterious force of nature has been proposed by two physicists at a Scottish university. It centres on a phenomenon called the "Casimir force", which was predicted by quantum physicists in 1948 although it was first measured by scientists just ten years ago. The force is caused by a quirk of nature which, at tiny scales, enables particles to pop into existence from nowhere...

Cameron was only two when he started talking in detail about another place and another family that he had previously belonged to. That other place was the island of Barra, off the west coast of Scotland, a place neither he nor his family had ever visited. He also spoke of a white house on the sand, watching planes land on the beach, a black and white dog, siblings, a mother who'd had her long hair cut short, and a father who had died because he didn't look both ways...

What's haunting home? Ghosts or armadillos?
Ghosts or creaky floors? It depends on whom you ask. This spring Randy Wolpin, 30, thought he heard footsteps in his newly purchased house, but no one else was home. He and his girlfriend were painting the house on Good Friday when the radio mysteriously changed to gospel. "I'm not afraid, but I do get kind of weirded out," said Wolpin...
