| Global investigation reveals true scale of ocean warming Posted: 04 Aug 2013 11:44 AM PDT Warming oceans are causing marine species to change breeding times and shift homes with expected substantial consequences for the broader marine landscape, according to a new global study.  |
| Hidden magnetic waves discovered in high-temperature superconductors Posted: 04 Aug 2013 11:44 AM PDT Advanced x-ray technique reveals surprising quantum excitations that persist through materials with or without superconductivity.  |
| Locating the brain's GPS: Human neurons link to navigation in open environments Posted: 04 Aug 2013 11:44 AM PDT Using direct human brain recordings, scientists have identified a new type of cell in the brain that helps people to keep track of their relative location while navigating an unfamiliar environment.  |
| Video games boost visual attention but reduce impulse control Posted: 04 Aug 2013 05:11 AM PDT A person playing a first-person shooter video game like Halo or Unreal Tournament must make decisions quickly. That fast-paced decision-making, it turns out, boosts the player's visual skills but comes at a cost, according to new research: reducing the person's ability to inhibit impulsive behavior. This reduction in what is called "proactive executive control" appears to be yet another way that violent video games can increase aggressive behavior.  |
| Nasa's Hubble finds 'smoking gun' after gamma-ray burst Posted: 04 Aug 2013 05:09 AM PDT Probing the location of a recent short-duration gamma-ray burst in near-infrared light, astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope found the fading fireball produced in the aftermath of the blast. The afterglow reveals for the first time a new kind of stellar blast called a kilonova.  |
