New cryogenic detectors probe recent evidence for dark matter particles Researchers from 10 institutions reported today that they have achieved the world's best discrimination in the search for dark matter, which scientists have postulated makes up more than 90 percent of the mass of the universe. Researchers find white matter defect link to dyslexia Researchers at Stanford University have for the first time found clear evidence that some reading problems are tied to a specific defect in neuron function, according to a report published in the February issue of the journal Neuron. The debate over climate change has become so contentious that many experts often refuse to make far-ranging predictions, choosing instead to report narrow findings based on a limited set of available data.
Physicists thrive with paperless publishing Publish or perish.
That's the credo by which scientists live. Now, as the Pill nears age 50, the Stanford chemist turns his gaze from the achievement that spawned the sexual revolution and casts a wary eye toward futuristic technologies that promise a reproductive revolution. I talked to people about why they go into various fields of science. My experience has been not because there was a great homework problem that they solved. The thrill that is lasting is when you can do something with your own hands and think about what it means and interpret it.
