| Action video games bolster sensorimotor skills, study finds Posted: 17 Oct 2014 08:11 AM PDT People who play action video games such as Call of Duty or Assassin's Creed seem to learn a new sensorimotor skill more quickly than non-gamers do, psychology researchers have found. |
| Superconducting circuits, simplified Posted: 17 Oct 2014 08:11 AM PDT New circuit design could unlock the power of experimental superconducting computer chips. |
| How the brain leads us to believe we have sharp vision Posted: 17 Oct 2014 07:13 AM PDT We assume that we can see the world around us in sharp detail. In fact, our eyes can only process a fraction of our surroundings precisely. In a series of experiments, psychologists have been investigating how the brain fools us into believing that we see in sharp detail. |
| 'Red effect' sparks interest in female monkeys Posted: 17 Oct 2014 07:12 AM PDT Recent studies showed that the color red tends increase our attraction toward others, feelings of jealousy, and even reaction times. Now, new research shows that female monkeys also respond to the color red, suggesting that biology, rather than our culture, may play the fundamental role in our "red" reactions. |
| Explosion first evidence of a hydrogen-deficient supernova progenitor Posted: 16 Oct 2014 04:28 PM PDT A new model is the first characterization of the progenitor for a hydrogen-deficient supernova. The model predicts that a bright hot star, which is the binary companion to an exploding object, remains after the explosion.Their findings have important implications for the evolution of massive stars. |
| Change your walking style, change your mood Posted: 15 Oct 2014 11:32 AM PDT Our mood can affect how we walk -- slump-shouldered if we're sad, bouncing along if we're happy. Now researchers have shown it works the other way too -- making people imitate a happy or sad way of walking actually affects their mood. |
| House fly genome reveals expanded immune system Posted: 14 Oct 2014 02:08 PM PDT The house fly genome has been sequenced for the first time, revealing robust immune genes, as one might expect from an insect that thrives in pathogen-rich dung piles and garbage heaps. The research will increase understanding of house fly genetics and biology and of how flies quickly adapt to resist insecticides, which could lead to novel control methods. |
