Autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders often aren't diagnosed until a child is a few years of age, when behavioral interventions and speech/occupational therapy become less effective. But new ...

With nearly breakneck speed, the demands of work productivity in today's society seem to have increased tenfold. Enter multitasking as a way to cope with the insistence that tasks be completed almost ...

A team of researchers working at Stanford University has used time dilation in an atomic fountain to measure the curvature of space-time. In their study, reported in the journal Science, the group ...

The botched launch of two global-positioning satellites four years ago has proven to be a real gift to physicists. Scientists have used the Galileo 5 and Galileo 6 spacecraft to measure "gravitational ...

Neuroscientists have shown that a person's hearing can be assessed by measuring dilation of the pupils in eyes, a method that is as sensitive as traditional methods of testing hearing. University of ...

In a dual set of papers published in Science last week, an international group of researchers presented an experiment which used relativistic time dilation to measure the curvature of spacetime. The ...

COLUMBIA- A researcher at the University of Missouri discovered how a person's mental workload can be measured by pupil dilation. Mental workload can be defined as the amount of work one's brain ...

Changing times: JILA researchers measured time dilation within this tiny cloud of strontium atoms. (Courtesy: R Jacobson/NIST) Two independent teams of researchers in the US have used differential ...
