| Concussion secrets unveiled in mice and people Posted: 08 Dec 2013 10:36 AM PST There is more than meets the eye following even a mild traumatic brain injury. While the brain may appear to be intact, new findings suggest that the brain's protective coverings may feel the brunt of the impact. |
| Surprising diversity in aging revealed in nature Posted: 08 Dec 2013 10:36 AM PST In our youth we are strong and healthy and then we weaken and die -- that's probably how most would describe what aging is all about. But, in nature, the phenomenon of aging shows an unexpected diversity of patterns and is altogether rather strange, conclude researchers. |
| Scientists discover quick recipe for producing hydrogen Posted: 08 Dec 2013 10:36 AM PST Scientists have discovered a quick-cook recipe for copious volumes of hydrogen, a breakthrough suggesting a better way of producing the fuel that propels rockets and energizes battery-like fuel cells. It could eventually even help meet key world energy needs -- without carbon emissions contributing to climate change. |
| Possibility of cloning quantum information from the past Posted: 08 Dec 2013 06:06 AM PST Popular television shows such as "Doctor Who" have brought the idea of time travel into the vernacular of popular culture. But problem of time travel is even more complicated than one might think. Scientists have now shown that it would theoretically be possible for time travelers to copy quantum data from the past. |
| Gene expression changes with meditation Posted: 08 Dec 2013 06:03 AM PST With evidence growing that meditation can have beneficial health effects, scientists have sought to understand how these practices physically affect the body. A new study reports the first evidence of specific molecular changes in the body following a period of mindfulness meditation. |
| International gene therapy trial for 'bubble boy' disease shows promising early results Posted: 08 Dec 2013 06:03 AM PST Researchers reported promising outcomes data for the first group of boys with X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency syndrome, a fatal genetic immunodeficiency also known as "bubble boy" disease, who were treated as part of an international clinical study of a new form of gene therapy. Its delivery mechanism was designed to prevent the leukemia that arose a decade ago in a similar trial in Europe. |
| Vast freshwater reserves found beneath the oceans Posted: 08 Dec 2013 05:53 AM PST Scientists have discovered huge reserves of freshwater beneath the oceans kilometers out to sea, providing new opportunities to stave off a looming global water crisis. A new study reveals that an estimated half a million cubic kilometers of low-salinity water are buried beneath the seabed on continental shelves around the world. |
| Tiny drops of hot quark soup -- how small can they be? Posted: 06 Dec 2013 01:30 PM PST New analyses of deuteron-gold collisions indicate that collisions between gold ions and much smaller deuterons, designed as control experiments, may be serving up miniscule drops of hot quark-gluon plasma. |
