According to a new study, there is a possibility that acetaminophen could have an impact on emotions. Researchers said that acetaminophen might dampen emotions. As per the researchers, acetaminophen is the main ingredient in the over-the-counter pain reliever Tylenol. In the US, it has been used for over 70 years and also is the most common drug ingredient. It is found in over 600 medicines in the United States.

Every week, about 23% adults of America use a medicine that contains acetaminophen. According to the researchers, the participants who made use of acetaminophen reported less strong emotions at the time they saw both very pleasant and very disturbing photos as compared to those who took placebos.

According to a national model of climate change perceptions, about 65% of Spokane County residents believe that Earth's climate is changing and only about 45% believe that humans are to blame for the change.

A model was developed by Yale University and Utah State University researchers in a bid to track public opinions of global warming across more than 3,000 US counties.

The model was based on surveys of 13,000 people, along with analyses of counties' demographic characteristics. These include including factors such as political views and education levels.

It was found that most residents (74%) of King County in Washington are most likely to believe that global warming is real others (55 percent) believe it is caused mainly due to human-activity.

According to a research, human chins did not develop because of mechanical forces like chewing, but an evolutionary adaptation related to face size and shape led to its development. This evolutionary adaptation is probably associated with changes in hormone levels as humans became more social.

According to Nathan Holton who studies craniofacial features and mechanics at University of Iowa, primates or the Neanderthals did not have chins and one way or another, it seems unimportant but the reason behind it is quite interesting.

Duke University physicists have developed techniques to determine what happens below the ground when missile strikes the earth.

When a missile hits the ground, the destruction above ground is obvious. However, what happens beneath the surface is still unknown.

The new technique enabled the researches to simulate high-speed impacts in artificial soil and sand in the lab. They were the able to watch what happened underground close-up, in slow motion. In order to capture the impact, they used a close up camera.

The findings revealed that the soil gets harder when struck harder, indicating that a hard hitting missile cannot penetrate the underground part of the soil.
