Such doubt may lead you to sympathize with a radical or extremist group, according to a new study in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology . Groups that rally around radical beliefs may provide a searching person with the sense of self and social identity they are lacking

A new way of understanding the structure of proteins, polymers, minerals, and engineered materials will be published in the May 2011 issue of the journal Nature Materials. The discovery by two Penn State University researchers is a new type of symmetry in the structure of materials, which the researchers say greatly expands the possibilities for discovering or designing materials with desired properties. The research is expected to have broad relevance in many development efforts involving physical, chemical, biological, or engineering disciplines including, for example, the search for advanced ferroelectric ferromagnet materials for next-generation ultrasound devices and computers

Scientists in Belgium and Spain have proved for the first time that new systems of quantum cryptology are much safer than current security systems.

iResus, a step-by-step emergency response documentation app, improved doctor performance in a simulation. Despite being among the brightest minds in the world and undergoing years of sleepless education, doctors can fail to remember vital information in an emergency--especially under pressure

Let’s say you are trying to sell cookies for a school fundraiser at the local mall, and you want to pick the ideal spot to set up your table. You’d probably look for an area with a lot of traffic.

(PhysOrg.com) -- German scientists from the Forschungszentrum Julich and the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle have discovered the basis for the next generation of memory devices. In a ferroelectric material, they have, for the first time, been able to observe directly how dipoles, which store the information in this material, continuously rotate and therefore may be organised in circular structures. The report was published in the journal Science

We see it all the time on shows like Bones and CSI. Skeletal remains can yield all sorts of clues--gender, age, past physical traumas

Pregnant women shouldn’t drink. It’s become gospel, because of the danger of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder.

A breakthrough in the study of chemical reactions during etching and coating of materials was achieved by a research group headed by Kiel physicist, Professor Olaf Magnussen. The team from the Christian-Albrechts-Universitat zu Kiel (CAU), Germany, in collaboration with staff from the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, France, have uncovered for the first time just what happens in manufacturing processes, used for the formation of metal contacts thinner than a human hair in modern consumer electronics, such as flat-screen television. The results appear as the cover feature in the current issue of the renowned Journal of the American Chemical Society.

X rays are so common today you probably never stop to think about them. They help check a broken wrist, a sprained ankle, the state of our teeth. But a little more than a century ago, x ray machines provided a revolution in medicine, allowing doctors to look inside the body.

Four school maintenance employees have been fired and a fifth suspended for wrapping a co-worker in shrink wrap and then taking pictures and video of him as part of a prank. Maintenance mechanic Anthony Farrell, cleaners Jason Haag and Keith Purdy, and cleaner-groundskeeper Chrystian Quezada were fired by Yorktown school district, located north of New York City

You are probably aware that eating plants is good for you. However, what you may not know is that plants can provide benefits even if your taste buds run for cover at the first mention of spinach. New research is beginning to show that just having plants in your workspace may improve how you think.
