| Link between quantum physics and game theory found Posted: 12 Jul 2013 08:46 AM PDT A deep link between two seemingly unconnected areas of modern science has been discovered.  |
| Promise of 'human computing power' via crowdsourcing to speed medical research Posted: 12 Jul 2013 07:24 AM PDT Utilizing crowdsourcing in medical research can improve the quality, cost, and speed of a research project while engaging large segments of the public and creating novel science.  |
| Posted: 12 Jul 2013 06:52 AM PDT The number of earthquakes has increased dramatically over the past few years within the central and eastern United States. More than 300 earthquakes above a magnitude 3.0 occurred in the three years from 2010-2012, compared with an average rate of 21 events per year observed from 1967-2000. This increase in earthquakes prompts two important questions: Are they natural, or human-made? And what should be done in the future as we address the causes and consequences of these events to reduce associated risks? U.S. Geological Survey scientists have been analyzing the changes in the rate of earthquakes as well as the likely causes, and they have some answers.  |
| Grazing slugs hinder grassland restoration Posted: 12 Jul 2013 05:46 AM PDT Research shows slugs may be hampering efforts to restore ecologically important grasslands.  |
| Daydreaming simulated by computer model Posted: 12 Jul 2013 05:42 AM PDT Scientists have created a virtual model of the brain that daydreams like humans do. They hope the model will help them understand why certain portions of the brain work together when a person is mentally idle.  |
