"It was like somebody had thrown a virtual bomb," says Matador, a Canadian who asked to be referred to by his online name so as not to blend his real life with his second one. What he saw motivated him to organize a team of online superheroes to secure the camp, make patrols and recruit players to stop similar...
...will a few minutes of solving brainteasers each day add up to much of anything? In a study published in April in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, scientists at the Mayo Clinic and the University of Southern California used standardized memory tests to assess 487 healthy adults over the age of 65, half of whom were asked to complete Posit's two-month brain-fitness program. The results of the Posit-funded study show that the software users improved their mental speed by about 60% compared with 7% in the control group...

When you double the CO2 in greenhouses where wheat or soybeans are growing, for example, the plants grow bigger by an average of 20-40%. But things get messier when scientists add CO2 to plants growing in real-world conditions. In a set of experiments called the Free-Air Carbon-dioxide Enrichment project, or FACE, investigators have been introducing CO2 into the air in experimental fields and forests around the world. The result is that some plants do grow bigger, says Field...
