Computers 1,000 times faster? Quick-change materials break silicon speed limit for computers Posted: 19 Sep 2014 08:06 AM PDT Faster, smaller, greener computers, capable of processing information up to 1,000 times faster than currently available models, could be made possible by replacing silicon with materials that can switch back and forth between different electrical states.

Milestone in chemical studies of superheavy elements: Superheavy element and carbon atom bonded for first time Posted: 19 Sep 2014 05:38 AM PDT A chemical bond between a superheavy element and a carbon atom has been established for the first time. This research opens new vistas for studying the effects of Einstein's relativity on the structure of the periodic table.

Spouse's personality influences career success, study finds Posted: 18 Sep 2014 05:59 PM PDT As much as we might try to leave personal lives at home, the personality traits of a spouse have a way of following us into the workplace, exerting a powerful influence on promotions, salaries, job satisfaction and other measures of professional success, new research suggests.

Human sense of fairness evolved to favor long-term cooperation, primate study suggests Posted: 18 Sep 2014 11:11 AM PDT The human response to unfairness evolved in order to support long-term cooperation, according to a new research. Fairness is a social ideal that cannot be measured, so to understand the evolution of fairness in humans scientists have studied the behavioral responses to equal versus unequal reward division in other primates.

How learning to talk is in the genes Posted: 16 Sep 2014 08:22 AM PDT Researchers have found evidence that genetic factors may contribute to the development of language during infancy. Scientists discovered a significant link between genetic changes near the ROBO2 gene and the number of words spoken by children in the early stages of language development.

The benefits and dangers of supplements Posted: 16 Sep 2014 08:17 AM PDT From multivitamins to supplements that pledge to help with everything from depression to treating athlete's foot, whole stores are filled with these alternative medications. With so many options out there it can be difficult for patients to know what is beneficial or even where to start.

Three's a charm: Detectors reveal entangled photon triplets Posted: 14 Sep 2014 12:07 PM PDT Researchers have directly entangled three photons in the most technologically useful state for the first time, thanks in part to superfast, super-efficient single-photon detectors.

'Psychopaths' have an impaired sense of smell, study suggests Posted: 20 Sep 2012 08:57 AM PDT A new study suggests that a poor sense of smell may be a marker for psychopathic traits.
