Physical Review Letters{DISSERTATION} Electrons are not enough: Cuprate superconductors defy convention To engineers, it's a tale as old as time: Electrical current is carried through materials by flowing electrons. But physicists at the University of Illinois and the University of Pennsylvania found that for copper-containing superconductors, known as cuprates, electrons are not enough to carry the current.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences{DISSERTATION} Slabs of ancient tectonic plate still lodged under California, researchers find The Isabella anomaly -- the seismic signal of a large mass of cool, dehydrated material about 100 kilometers beneath central California -- is in fact a surviving slab of the Farallon oceanic plate, according to research led by Brown University geophysicists. Most of the Farallon plate was driven deep into the Earth's mantle as the Pacific and North American plates began converging around 100 million years, eventually coming together to form the San Andreas fault.

NeuroImage{DISSERTATION} Difficulty in recognizing faces in autism linked to performance in a group of neurons Neuroscientists at Georgetown University Medical Center have discovered a brain anomaly that explains why some people diagnosed with autism cannot easily recognize faces -- a deficit linked to the impairments in social interactions considered to be the hallmark of the disorder.

Animal Behaviour{DISSERTATION} Male lions use ambush hunting strategy It has long been believed that male lions are dependent on females when it comes to hunting. But new evidence suggests that male lions are, in fact, very successful hunters in their own right. A new report from a team including Carnegie's Scott Loarie and Greg Asner shows that male lions use dense savanna vegetation for ambush-style hunting in Africa.

Trillions of plankton near the surface of warm waters are far more carbon-rich than has long been thought, they found.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences{DISSERTATION} Researchers divide enzyme to conquer genetic puzzle Rice University researchers have found a way to divide and modify enzymes to create what amounts to a genetic logic gate. Biochemist Matthew Bennett and graduate student David Shis created a library of AND gates by mutating a protein from a bacterial virus. The well-understood protein known as T7 RNA polymerase is a strong driver of transcription in cells

Psychological Science{DISSERTATION} Events in the future seem closer than those in the past Time flies, marches on, and flows like a river -- our descriptions of time are closely linked to our experiences of moving through space. Now, new research suggests that the illusions that influence how we perceive movement through space also influence our perception of time. The findings, published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, provide evidence that our experiences of space and time have even more in common than previously thought.
