NEW SCIENCE: AN ADVANTAGE FOR WINNING NEGOTIATIONS
- Scientists from Nottingham Trent University have found that being pleasant and facially expressive improves your negotiating skills. Here's what we know:
- Scientists at NTU found that facially expressive people are seen as more likeable and socially successful
- Scientists analyzed 1500 conversations between strangers noting who was liked
- Being facially expressive helps make you more readable and acceptable
- Facial expressions also have a positive influence on conflict resolution
- Bottom line: Use of facial expressions makes us more likeable. And as we produce more facial movements than other species, we should take advantage of it instead of showing our poker face
- Remember showing your Mom that puppy dog face when you wanted seconds on dessert? You may want to dust off that look because it may cut a big deal for you in adult negotiations.
DARPA'S STUNNING QUANTUM LASER TECHNOLOGY
- The US Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency, DARPA, is developing a highly advanced quantum laser that could revolutionize military operations, autonomous driving and more. Here are some key facts:
- Quantum laser uses "entangled photons" to outshine conventional laser beams
- Sees through extremely dense fog and over very long distances
- Literally glues light particles together to generate highly concentrated laser beam
- Why so important? could have significant impact on military operations, lidar for autonomous cars, satellites and quantum computing
- DARPA just awarded engineers at Washington University of St. Louis $1 million to continue to develop this new technology.
