Researchers have demonstrated that they can make a face recognition system similar to those used at airports think someone else is you. This is the equivalent of tricking a machine into allowing someone to board a flight despite being on a no-fly list.

"The Origin of Chemical Elements" paper, one of the most cited in astrophysics, was written by Ralph Alpher and George Gamow. Gamow liked the idea of having an author list that sounded like the first 3 Greek letters - alpha beta gamma. So he made Hans Bethe a co-author as a joke
