What does Facebook reveal about you?
Psychologists at the University of Cambridge say they can now accurately predict details of our personalities based simply on what we say we like on Facebook.
After analysing nearly 60,000 samples researchers achieved more than 80 percent accuracy in working out areas of our lives including race, religion, sexuality and politics.

Facebook activity can predict personality traits
Psychologists at the University of Cambridge say they can now accurately predict details of our personalities based simply on what we say we like on Facebook.
After analysing nearly 60,000 researchers achieved more than 80% accuracy on working out areas of our lives including race, religion, sexuality and political leanings. They say the research could have a profound impact in areas such as advertising and market research.
Researcher Dr David Stillwell from Cambridge University said: "The average person on Facebook has more than 150 "Likes" so when you bring all of those pieces of information together you can see the average personality of a person."

Turbines to begin turning
Two giant next generation wind turbines will soon start generating electricity off the coast of Essex. The 6 megawatt turbines - which stand 148 metres tall - have been added to the Gunfleet Sands demonstration project.
They're the first of their kind to be constructed offshore anywhere in the world. They're expected to start generating electricity by the spring. Owners Dong Energy have signed an agreement to have 300 similar turbines built for projects around the UK.
What is Graphene and how does it work?
Experts hope Graphene centre will bridge gap between academia and industry
The new Cambridge Graphene centre will be funded by a £12 million Government grant and £13 million from industry. Experts in Cambridge are delighted at the development.
– Professor Sir Leszek Borysiewicz, vice-chancellor of the University of CambridgeGraphene's potential is beyond doubt, but much more research is needed if we are to develop it to a point where it proves of benefit to society as a whole.
"The pioneering work of Cambridge engineers and scientists in fields such as carbon nanotechnology and flexible electronics, coupled with our record working with industry and launching spin-out firms based on our research, means that we are in a unique position to take graphene to that next level."
– Professor Andrea Ferrari, Centre DirectorWe are targeting applications and manufacturing processes, and broadening research to other two-dimensional materials and hybrid systems. The integration of these new materials could bring a new dimension to future technologies, creating faster, thinner, stronger, more flexible broadband devices."
