It sounds like the stuff of science fiction movies but students and the military are using drugs to boost their brainpower. Modafinil (or Provigil) is the pill the academics have been taking. Officially, it's used to treat conditions that cause daytime sleepiness, such as narcolepsy.

In fact, it is already available, and academics in America and Britain have apparently been taking it for years.
