| Quantum material, frustrated magnets: New experiment reveals clues to their discontent Posted: 03 Apr 2015 12:07 PM PDT An experiment has revealed an unlikely behavior in a class of materials called frustrated magnets, addressing a long-debated question about the nature of these discontented quantum materials. The work represents a surprising discovery that down the road may suggest new research directions for advanced electronics. The study also someday may help clarify the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity, the frictionless transmission of electricity.  |
| Want a quick 3-D copy of something? Camera chip for smartphone provides superfine 3-D resolution Posted: 03 Apr 2015 12:07 PM PDT Imagine you need to have an almost exact copy of an object. Now imagine that you can just pull your smartphone out of your pocket, take a snapshot with its integrated 3-D imager, send it to your 3-D printer, and within minutes you have reproduced a replica accurate to within microns of the original object. This feat may soon be possible because of a new tiny high-resolution 3-D imager.  |
| Efforts to save the rare 'Pinocchio lizard' which was once thought extinct Posted: 02 Apr 2015 01:16 PM PDT A long lizard nose is an important part of their social interactions and a unique aspect of the natural history of this remarkable lizard. Scientists say the more they know about its behavior, the better the chances they have to save it.  |
| Can light therapy help the brain? Posted: 02 Apr 2015 01:16 PM PDT An innovative therapy that applies red and near-infrared light to the brain is now being tested for Gulf War Illness, traumatic brain injury, and PTSD.  |
| Mathematician's 2015 Major League Baseball projections Posted: 01 Apr 2015 06:58 PM PDT This is the 18th year that a mathematician has published his model's projections of how the standings should look at the end of the regular season.  |
| Why are there no celebrity accountants? Does it matter? Posted: 01 Apr 2015 08:45 AM PDT The media is littered with celebrity trainers, bakers, nutritionists, even gardeners. But, one profession is always missing from the roster -- the celebrity accountant. The reason is most likely due to the negative stereotypes propagated for centuries. However, this is no bad thing, according to researchers who suggest that stock characters entrenched in popular culture provide professional stability.  |
