New Measurement Undermines Physicists' Theories For Nature's Hidden 'P
A new measurement by a student and professor at the University of Rochester has shed new light on the limits of scientists' standard model of physics. Doctoral student Ben Kilminster and Kevin McFarland, professor of physics, used the particle accelerator at Fermilab to conduct the first measurement ever done with enough precision to discern certain characteristics of how the top quark, the heaviest particle in known physics, decays. [Funny] Hungry Man Holds Up Store, Demands Sushi
TOKYO (Reuters) - A Japanese man pulled a knife in a convenience store early Sunday morning and threatened to kill himself unless he was given a meal of the choicest sushi. The 68-year-old unemployed man barged into the store in the western city of Osaka after first setting fire to his nearby apartment, police said Monday.

Congress hands out subsidies like chicken feed and will again debate farm aid. But cuts in ethanol and farm spending should be matched with removing incentives that keep oil prices artficially low. In Autopia. 'Orange' Cauliflower Gene Eyed As Nutrition Booster
Can a gene from an orange cauliflower found three decades ago be the key to making food crops more nutritious? Quite possibly, according to Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientist Li Li. She's using cauliflower to identify genes and define molecular mechanisms that regulate nutrients in plant-based foods. Bottled seaside air
Bottled seaside air! It almost sounds like a scam from the Victorian era when the bracing “ozone” of fresh air at the British seaside was said to cure all kinds of ailments and led to a boom in seaside resorts and continues to ebb and flow.But, it’s not a scam. Researchers at the University of [...] X-ray Oscillations From Biggest Star Quake Provide Clues To Mysterious
A gigantic explosion on a neutron star halfway across the Milky Way galaxy, the largest such explosion ever recorded in the universe, should allow astronomers for the first time to probe the interiors of these mysterious stellar objects. Modified Collagen Could Could Help Deliver Drugs And Shape The Growth
Collagen often pops up in beauty products and supermodel lips. But by mating collagen with a molecular hitchhiker, materials scientists hope to create some important medical advances. New Microscope Allows Scientists To Track A Functioning Protein With A
A Stanford University research team has designed the first microscope sensitive enough to track the real-time motion of a single protein down to the level of its individual atoms. Writing in the Nov. 13 online issue of the journal Nature, the Stanford researchers explain how the new instrument allowed them to settle long-standing scientific debates about the way genes are copied from DNA -- a biochemical process that's essential to life. Perpetual Motion Claim Probed
History offers a discouraging guide for an Irish company hoping to demonstrate an exception to the first law of thermodynamics. Can cleverly positioned magnets create more than hot air? By John Borland. 'Speed Of Thought'Guides Brain's Memory Consolidation
Memory consolidation, unconstrained by the interactions between the observer and the world, appears to move between the cortex and the hippocampus at speeds six or seven times faster than the actual events that created the memories.
