| Posted: 13 Dec 2011 10:34 AM PST Researchers have created a new imaging system that can acquire visual data at a rate of one trillion exposures per second. That's fast enough to produce a slow-motion video of a burst of light traveling the length of a one-liter bottle, bouncing off the cap and reflecting back to the bottle's bottom.  |
| Posted: 13 Dec 2011 08:47 AM PST CSHL scientists have discovered hydrogen sulfide -- the flammable, toxic gas associated with the smell of rotten eggs in landfills -- helps regulate a signaling pathway implicated in biological malfunctions linked to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, among others.  |
| Do consumers prefer brands that appear on their Facebook pages? Posted: 13 Dec 2011 08:05 AM PST You are likely to identify with a brand that advertises alongside your personal information on a Facebook page (especially if you have high self-esteem), according to a new study. The same ad will have less impact if you view it on a stranger's page.  |
| Artificially enhanced athletes Posted: 13 Dec 2011 06:21 AM PST Superstar swimmers and certain comic book superheroes have something unusual in common -- when they wear special suits, they gain phenomenal abilities. A first-of-its-kind study shows how now-banned technical swimsuits artificially enhanced athlete performance in 2009.  |
| Rose torture: Severe heat in Texas yields better varieties for research Posted: 12 Dec 2011 12:31 PM PST At least one person admits that the extreme heat in Texas this year was beneficial. But all the same, he'd opt next time for a handmade torture chamber. "Some people will complain about the heat, but from my viewpoint as a breeder, I love stress," said a rose breeder.  |
