The secrecy and distress surrounding these issues erode the quality of life for millions, and hamper scientific understanding and development of prevention and treatment strategies. Quantum Computer Chips Now One Step Closer To Reality
In the quest for smaller, faster computer chips, researchers are increasingly turning to quantum mechanics -- the exotic physics of the small. The problem: the manufacturing techniques required to make quantum devices have been equally exotic. That is, until now. Avatar's moon Pandora could be real, planet-hunters say
In the new blockbuster Avatar, humans visit the habitable -- and inhabited -- alien moon called Pandora.

Positive emotions like joy and humor help people "get the big picture,"virtually eliminating the own-race bias that makes many people think members of other races "all look alike,"according to new University of Michigan research. Nervous scoop
An action shot of the protein Scp1, which plays a crucial role in the development of the nervous system has been obtained using crystallography by researchers in the US. Their structure could provide drug designers with a template for creating small molecule inhibitors of this protein that would be useful in neurological research. Joseph Noel [...]
