| Scientists produce eye structures from human blood-derived stem cells Posted: 13 Mar 2012 03:52 PM PDT For the first time, scientists have made early retina structures containing proliferating neuroretinal progenitor cells using induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells derived from human blood.  |
| Cassini spies wave rattling jet stream on Jupiter Posted: 13 Mar 2012 12:54 PM PDT New movies of Jupiter are the first to catch an invisible wave shaking up one of the giant planet's jet streams, an interaction that also takes place in Earth's atmosphere and influences the weather. The movies, made from images taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft when it flew by Jupiter in 2000, are part of an in-depth study conducted by a team of scientists and amateur astronomers.  |
| More trans fat consumption linked to greater aggression, researchers find Posted: 13 Mar 2012 09:25 AM PDT Researchers have shown -- by each of a range of measures, in men and women of all ages, in Caucasians and minorities -- that consumption of dietary trans fatty acids is associated with irritability and aggression.  |
| Data support theory on location of lost Leonardo da Vinci painting Posted: 13 Mar 2012 09:24 AM PDT Evidence uncovered during research conducted in Florence's Palazzo Vecchio late last year appears to support the theory that a lost Leonardo da Vinci painting existed on the east wall of the Hall of the 500, behind Giorgio Vasari's mural "The Battle of Marciano."  |
| Get me out of this slump: Visual illusions improve sports performance Posted: 13 Mar 2012 09:17 AM PDT With the NCAA men's college basketball tournament set to begin, college basketball fans around the United States are in the throes of March Madness. Anyone who has seen a game knows that the fans are like extra players on the court, and this is especially true during critical free throws. Fans of the opposing team will wave anything they can, from giant inflatable noodles to big heads, to make it difficult for players to focus on the basket.  |
| Scientists tap the cognitive genius of tots to make computers smarter Posted: 13 Mar 2012 09:17 AM PDT People often wonder if computers make children smarter. Scientists are now asking the reverse question: Can children make computers smarter? It appears so.  |
| Red meat consumption linked to increased risk of total, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality Posted: 12 Mar 2012 01:27 PM PDT A new study has found that red meat consumption is associated with an increased risk of total, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality.  |
| New theory on formation of oldest continents Posted: 12 Mar 2012 11:03 AM PDT Geologists have demonstrated new scientific results to support a new theory on the earliest phase of continental formation.  |
