| Posted: 12 Jan 2012 11:22 AM PST Using several massive supercomputers, a team of physicists has split a simulated electron perfectly in half. The results are another example of how tabletop experiments on ultra-cold atoms and other condensed-matter materials can provide clues about the behavior of fundamental particles. |
| Offsetting global warming: Molecule in Earth's atmosphere could 'cool the planet' Posted: 12 Jan 2012 11:22 AM PST Scientists have shown that a newly discovered molecule in Earth's atmosphere has the potential to play a significant role in offsetting global warming by cooling the planet. |
| Blame your taste buds for liking fat: Receptor for tasting fat identified in humans Posted: 12 Jan 2012 10:43 AM PST Why do we like fatty foods so much? We can blame our taste buds. In the first study to identify a human receptor that can taste fat, researchers report that our tongues recognize and have an affinity for fat and that variations in a gene can make people more or less sensitive to the taste of fat in foods. |
| Master controller of memory identified Posted: 06 Jan 2012 01:49 PM PST One gene appears to regulate the brain's ability to form new memories. |
