Is built-in obsolescence a fact or an urban myth? Does household equipment really have a finite life determined by the manufacturer or is it something we consumers have conned ourselves into believing every time there is a gadget breakdown? [ + ]

Up until recently, only data scientists were able to make sense of big data. Today, rather than hiring these specialists, companies expect their existing domain experts to be able to do the same work. Thankfully, analytics tools have evolved to address the challenges associated with big data, and you don't have to be an expert at Java programming to use them.   [ + ]

Researchers have succeeded in synthesising boron-doped graphene nanoribbons and characterising their structural, electronic and chemical properties. [ + ]
