Their reasoning was that just as DNA carries genetic "memories," so other molecules might encode and carry information plucked from transient electrical impulses. Some early researchers proposed the idea of a separate brain molecule for each memory. The hypothesis of Swedish Neurobiologist Holger Hydén of the University of Göteborg was a bit more sophisticated; he thought that RNA was the key to memory formation and was encouraged in his belief by the results of his experiments with rats. When he taught them special tasks, he discovered that the RNA had not only increased in quantity but was different...

...months after the accident, when the little sub was raised and drained, scientists noticed that the six bologna sandwiches, two apples and two thermoses of bouillon seemed remarkably well-preserved-even though they were soaked in sea water. Intrigued, a four-man team led by Microbiologist Holger Jannasch at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution ran tests on the lunches ranging from simple tasting to detailed lab analysis. Their conclusion: the apples were about as well-preserved as if they had been kept in a refrigerator while the rest of the food had fared far better than that...
