Lasers bend beams for desktop X-ray source

Article Abstract:

Ronald Ruth, an accelerator physicist at the Standford Linear Accelerator Center in California has contributed in the launch of a tool that would generate beams of high-energy X-rays which determines the structure of proteins and materials. This has attracted $7 million support funding from the US National Institute of General Medical Sciences, which hopes that the device will help in the study of biologically important molecules.

Beta-blockers tackle memories of horror

Article Abstract:

A group of US psychiatrists claim that beta-blockers, which are widely used to treat high blood pressure and heart problems, interfere with the way that the brain stores memories and can be used to heal the sufferers of post-traumatic stress disorders (PSTD). Some researchers have objections, argue that aspects of PSTD are a natural response to traumatic events, and should not be treated with drugs.

Scans suggest IQ scores reflect brain structure

Article Abstract:

A study that has attempted to link group differences in IQ with race by suggesting that performance of IQ tests is associated with changes in brain during adolescence is criticized. There might be likely queries about conducting such research work in the first place, even if physiological factors that contribute to IQ is worth studying.
