| Violent video games don't always reduce subsequent helpfulness Posted: 04 Jul 2013 06:50 AM PDT Violent or antisocial video games like Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto do not reliably reduce helpful behaviors in players shortly after playing, according to new research.  |
| Clarification of dynamical process of aluminum surface oxidation Posted: 04 Jul 2013 06:50 AM PDT Researchers have solved a 20 year old riddle concerning the reaction mechanism of aluminum surface oxidation.  |
| 'Organic' milk is poorer in iodine than conventional milk Posted: 04 Jul 2013 06:46 AM PDT Milk from organic farms has a lower concentration of elements like zinc, iodine and selenium than milk produced by conventional farming methods. The discrepancy is due to the absence of mineral substances in the diets of the cows reared. According to researchers, animals on organic farms should have their diets supplemented with natural sources of iodine such as seaweed, because it is a very important element for children and pregnant women.  |
| Space study opens up new opportunities to explore exotic energy Posted: 04 Jul 2013 06:46 AM PDT Answering the ultimate question to Life, Universe and Everything? Not quite, but an international team of scientists have conducted research that opens up new possibilities for exploring what to date have only been theories of physics. The astronomers have tested whether the strength of the electromagnetic force is altered in the strong gravitational field of a white dwarf star.  |
| Maintaining immune balance involves an unconventional mechanism of T cell regulation Posted: 04 Jul 2013 06:46 AM PDT A new study challenges prior understanding of the process regulating specialized T cells that are essential for a balanced immune system.  |
| Does being a bookworm boost your brainpower in old age? Posted: 04 Jul 2013 06:44 AM PDT New research suggests that reading books, writing and participating in brain-stimulating activities at any age may preserve memory.  |
| Cancer drug labels missing key information about patients' symptoms Posted: 04 Jul 2013 06:43 AM PDT For patients facing treatment for cancer, it is essential to understand how their symptoms will be affected. Symptoms like pain, fatigue, or nausea can result from the cancer, or from treatment side effects. The best way to collect this information is from patients themselves in research studies. But almost no drug labels in the U.S. include this information. As a result, incomplete information is available to patients and clinicians to help with treatment decisions.  |
