| Why animals compare the present with the past Posted: 30 May 2013 11:20 AM PDT Humans, like other animals, compare things. We care not only how well off we are, but whether we are better or worse off than others around us, or than we were last year. New research shows that such comparisons can give individuals an evolutionary advantage.  |
| Water-rock reaction may provide enough hydrogen 'food' to sustain life in ocean's crust or on Mars Posted: 30 May 2013 10:25 AM PDT A chemical reaction between iron-containing minerals and water may produce enough hydrogen "food" to sustain microbial communities living in pores and cracks within the enormous volume of rock below the ocean floor and parts of the continents, according to a new study.  |
| Low doses of THC (cannabis) can halt brain damage, study suggests Posted: 30 May 2013 10:25 AM PDT Medical cannabis is often used by sufferers of chronic ailments, including cancer and post-traumatic stress disorder, to combat pain and other symptoms.
