Zebra Finches on Pole
A team of Michigan State University scientists will investigate the brain and behavior of the zebra finch in the first in-depth study of whether stuttering stems from a lack of rhythm.
Zebra Finch Close Up
Zebra finches could hold the key to finding the biological source of stuttering. The male finch, right, learns to sing early in life. The female, left, does not sing.
Researchers Eliminate Schizophrenia Symptoms in An Animal Model
Overexpression of a gene associated with schizophrenia causes classic symptoms of the disorder that are reversed when gene expression returns to normal, scientists report. Pictured are (left to right...
Semiconductor Thin Films only 1 Atom Thick
The thin films are only one atom thick, but can be made wide enough to coat wafers that are two inches wide or larger. The films are made of molybdenum sulfide, an inexpensive semiconductor material.
