Psychologists Explore Public Policy And Effects Of Media Violence On C
Psychologists have authored a new study that reviews the literature on children's exposure to media violence and assesses the lack of effective public policy response to curb the risks. They also recommend more effective public policy strategies in the future. Discovery Of Novel Protein Offers Hope For Possible Parkinson’s Dise
Researchers have found an essential key to possibly cure Parkinson's disease. They have discovered that a novel protein -- known as protein kinase-C -- kills dopamine-producing cells in the brain. Many Discharged Patients Do Not Know Diagnoses, Medications, Side Effe
Researchers report in the current issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings that more than one-half of their study patients were unable to list their medications, diagnoses, treatment plan (names and purposes of medications) and common side effects of prescribed medications. Researchers Find Evidence Of Dark Energy In Our Galactic Neighborhood
Astrophysicists in recent years have found evidence for a force they call dark energy in observations from the farthest reaches of the universe, billions of light years away. Now an international team of researchers has used data from powerful computer models, supported by observations from the Hubble Space Telescope, to find evidence of dark energy right in our own cosmic neighborhood. Beyond batteries: Storing power in a sheet of paper
Researchers have developed a new energy storage device that could be mistaken for a simple sheet of paper. The nanoengineered battery is lightweight, flexible and geared toward meeting the design requirements of tomorrow's electronics and implantable medical equipment. The device withstands extreme temperatures, is completely integrated, can be printed like paper, and can function as both a battery and a supercapacitor. It can also be partly powered by human blood or sweat. Record-breaking ultrasensitive spectrometer created
A spectroscope with unrivaled performance, able to identify tiny amounts of trace gases in real time, has now been developed. Scientists designed an instrument based on two femtosecond laser frequency combs. This is a major step forward both for fundamental research and for many applied fields. Next-generation Microcapsules Deliver 'Chemicals On Demand'
Scientists are reporting development of a new generation of the microcapsules used in carbon-free copy paper, in which capsules burst and release ink with pressure from a pen. The new microcapsules burst when exposed to light, releasing their contents in ways that could have wide-ranging commercial uses from home and personal care to medicine. Mind-Game Movies Mark '00s Cinema of Paranoia
Head trips, brooding superheroes and dark fantasies take Hollywood fora wild ride in a decade indelibly imprinted with the horrors of 9/11.
