Voiceover: It's time for Science or Fiction.
Item #1: Archaeologists have used ground penetrating radar to map an ancient city in northern Italy that is at least 3 thousand years old and from a previously unknown culture.[4]
Item #2: Researchers have developed an implantable therapeutic neural stimulator that is wireless, and does not require a battery, magnetic coil, or radiowaves for power.[5]
Item #3: A new study finds that conservatives, but not liberals, react to government warning labels by being more likely to engage in the unhealthy behavior.[6]
