Drugs to curb the irrational terrors experienced by the survivors of a disaster could emerge from studies that reveal the brain's "fear circuits" in unprecedented detail. Roger Highfield explains.
Numerical simulations of forced turbulence in elongated shearing boxes are carried out to demonstrate that a nonhelical turbulence in conjunction with a linear shear can give rise to a mean-field dynamo.
We present the first results of a project aimed at following the formation and long-term dynamical evolution of star clusters within the potential of a host galaxy.
The highly amplified magnetic fields suggested by observations of some supernova remnant (SNR) shells are most likely an intrinsic part of efficient particle acceleration by shocks.
I am just getting out of my observational stage in my interactions with Daniel and Hannah. They are so close that it can be difficult to get a word in and, while is it enlightening enough listening to them bantering
and all area donation centers. All those attempting to donate will receive a specially designed T-shirt while supplies last. The month-long campaign will be conducted in memory of long-time Cardinals vice president of community relations Marty Hendin.
Modern man still relies on ancient, reptilian brain centres to make life-or-death decisions because they are faster thinking than the ones that make us human. Roger Highfield explains.
The ability to reconstruct the colour of fossil feathers that adorned the first birds and their ancestors, the dinosaurs, has come from a newly reported discovery, writes Roger Highfield.
The Starling can contract its vocal muscles 100 times faster than humans can blink an eye - placing the birds among an elite animals with "superfast" muscles.Roger Highfield explains.
