Synthetic magnetism used to control light: Opens door to nanoscale applications that use light instead of electricity Posted: 31 Oct 2012 12:16 PM PDT Physics and engineering researchers have demonstrated a device that produces a synthetic magnetism to exert virtual force on photons similar to the effect of magnets on electrons. The advance could yield a new class of nanoscale applications that use light instead of electricity.

Causation warps our perception of time Posted: 31 Oct 2012 11:20 AM PDT Events that occur close to one another in time and space are sometimes "bound" together and we perceive them as meaningful episodes, a phenomenon that philosophers and psychological scientists call "temporal binding." New research suggests that our ability to understand causal relations plays an important role in temporal binding, revealing important insights into how we experience time.
