| Some adolescents adept at media multitasking, Research by high school students reveals Posted: 10 Oct 2014 12:50 PM PDT Telling youths who are juggling multiple electronic devices to 'focus on the task at hand' may not always be good advice, according to research.

| Space-based methane maps find largest U.S. signal in Southwest Posted: 09 Oct 2014 01:38 PM PDT An unexpectedly high amount of the climate-changing gas methane, the main component of natural gas, is escaping from the Four Corners region in the US Southwest, according to a new study. Four Corners sits on North America's most productive coalbed methane basin. Coalbed methane is a variety of the gas that's stuck to the surface of coal. It is dangerous to miners (not to mention canaries), but in recent decades, it's been tapped as a resource.  |
