O Brave New World: The Dark Side of Cyberspace

This article focuses on some of the negative aspects of cyberspace andcyberculture. First, it offers an examination of the impact of our use ofsocial media, and Facebook in particular, on our psyches, pointing out thatusers of social media can be thought of as audiences. These audiencesand information about them can be sold to marketers and advertisers.Next, it offers a case study of a widespre...

Dark Side Traits at Work: Bright and Dark Side Traits and Job Value Preferences

Two hundred and twenty-one business executives completed the Big Five NEO-RI-R (Costa & McCrae, 1992; an inventory of normal personality), the Hogan Development Survey (HDS) (Hogan & Hogan, 1997; an inventory of career derailing tendencies) and the Motives, Values and Preferences Inventory (MVPI) (Hogan & Hogan, 1999; an inventory of ten core occupational values). Correlational and regression a...

The bright side of dark matter: lncRNAs in cancer.

The traditional view of genome organization has been upended in the last decade with the discovery of vast amounts of non-protein-coding transcription. After initial concerns that this "dark matter" of the genome was transcriptional noise, it is apparent that a subset of these noncoding RNAs are functional. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) genes resemble protein-coding genes in several key aspects, ...

Revealing the dark side of a bright exciton–polariton condensate

Condensation of bosons causes spectacular phenomena such as superfluidity or superconductivity. Understanding the nature of the condensed particles is crucial for active control of such quantum phases. Fascinating possibilities emerge from condensates of light-matter-coupled excitations, such as exciton-polaritons, photons hybridized with hydrogen-like bound electron-hole pairs. So far, only th...
