| Posted: 27 Jan 2016 12:48 PM PST A transplantation experiment in moths shows how the brain experiences reality through the senses. |
| Ancient rodent's brain was big ... but not necessarily 'smart' Posted: 27 Jan 2016 09:15 AM PST Ancient rodent Paramys had a large brain that was even larger than some primitive primates of the same era. |
| New theory linking brain activity to brain shape could throw light on human consciousness Posted: 27 Jan 2016 07:15 AM PST Scientists have shown that complex human brain activity is governed by the same simple universal rule of nature that can explain other phenomena such as the beautiful sound of a finely crafted violin or the spots on a leopard. They have identified a link between the distinctive patterns of brain function that occur at rest and the physical structure of people's brains. |
| Delivering the Internet of the future, at the speed of light and open-sourced Posted: 26 Jan 2016 08:09 AM PST New research has found, for the first time, a scientific solution that enables future Internet infrastructure to become completely open and programmable while carrying Internet traffic at the speed of light. |
| How to find and study a black hole Posted: 25 Jan 2016 08:52 AM PST Black holes sound too strange to be real. But they are actually pretty common in space. There are dozens known and probably millions more in the Milky Way and a billion times that lurking outside. The makings and dynamics of these monstrous warpings of spacetime have been confounding scientists for centuries. |
| Einstein put to the test: Two precision experiments in space with lasers Posted: 25 Jan 2016 08:49 AM PST According to Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, all bodies in a vacuum regardless of their properties are accelerated by the Earth's gravity at the same rate. This principle of equivalence applies to stones, feathers and atoms alike. Under the conditions of microgravity very long and precise measurements can be carried out to determine whether different atoms of different mass actually "fall equally fast". |
