Training Quiets Aging Reflexes
Older participants in a 5-week balance class saw their balance improve on average by 19.5 percent. Researchers attribute much of this improvement to training geared toward minimizing the influence of the participants'aging and less reliable reflexes. How Big's That Spaceship, Anyway?

The relationship between migraine headaches in women and a significant reduction in breast cancer risk has been confirmed in a follow-on study to landmark research published last year. The new study found a 26 percent reduced risk of breast cancer among both premenopausal and postmenopausal women with a clinical diagnosis of migraines. Invisibility Visualized: New Software For Rendering Cloaked Objects
Scientists and curiosity seekers who want to know what a partially or completely cloaked object would look like in real life can now get their wish -- virtually. Scientists have created a new visualization tool that can render a room containing such an object, showing the visual effects of such a cloaking mechanism and its imperfections. Review: Canon Powershot G9 - Small, Powerful, Perfect
This little digi-snapper has some pro-style features and a learning curve that’s about right for amateurs who want to turn pro. Heck, some DSLRs don’t pack this much digital prowess. Tough yet stiff deer antler is materials scientist's dream
It is almost impossible to make materials that are tough yet stiff: stiff materials tend to break easily and cannot absorb impacts. But not so dry deer antlers. Surviving impacts that are six times greater than crashes that shatter wet femur, deer antler is stiff enough to endure the dueling animals' pushing contests and could teach us how to make stiff, yet tough, materials. People At Genetic Risk For Alzheimer's Age Are Mentally Just Like Nonc
Australian researchers say that a genotype that heightens the risk for Alzheimer's disease does not contribute to cognitive change during most of adulthood. The largest study of its kind has found that carriers and noncarriers show the same type and extent of normal age-related cognitive declines, decades before carriers start to more often develop symptoms of dementia. The findings suggest that the higher-risk genotype acts only in later years to layer disease on top of normal aging.
