New parts of the brain become active after students learn physics
Parts of the brain not traditionally associated with learning science become active when people are confronted with solving physics problems, a new study shows. Continue reading “New parts of the brain become active after students learn physics”
Theology and Science: A Shift towards the Human Person
In science, in the past, the necessity for this movement was indicated in three different ways which might prove useful in an anthropocentric shift in the dialogue between Science and Theology: Continue reading “Theology and Science: A Shift towards the Human Person”
Atoms may hum a tune from grand cosmic symphony
Researchers playing with a cloud of ultracold atoms uncovered behavior that bears a striking resemblance to the universe in microcosm. Their work, which forges new connections between atomic physics and the sudden expansion of the early universe, will be published in Physical Review X and highlighted by Physics.
