If finding true love were an exact science, we wouldn’t need matchmakers, singles bars or, of course, online dating services.
Like job seekers who take the Myers-Briggs personality test to help steer them to suitable professions, we’d simply take a relationship test, whose results would identify our most compatible types of mates [...]]]></description>

A copper-based catalyst helps turn the gas into antifreeze and household cleaners.

Last year was not a happy one. Economic crisis. Job losses. Wars. Yet, while we can quantify things such as gross domestic product or home foreclosures, it&#8217;s harder to measure their impact on our collective happiness.

China&#8217;s Jan. 11 test of exoatmospheric missile interception is worth paying attention to—especially in Washington. It isn&#8217;t just an early step toward development of a missile-defense system; it&#8217;s also a signal of a radical change in the country&#8217;s stance on the militarization of space.
