...curiosity seekers, Einstein's executors secretly scattered his ashes. But they were defeated at least in part by a pathologist who carried off his brain in hopes of learning the secrets of his genius. Only recently Canadian researchers, probing those pickled remains, found that he had an unusually large inferior parietal lobe--a center of mathematical thought and spatial imagery--and shorter connections between the frontal and temporal lobes. More definitive insights, though, are emerging from old Einstein letters and papers. These are finally coming to light after years of resistance by executors eager to shield the great relativist...
...were after the war, as they went on to discredit not only fascism but communism as well, that strength still came at a terrible cost.

...Italian and British scientists, is that it offers what's believed to be the first proof that linguistics have an impact upon our brain physiology. Brain scans of the students showed that Italians have more active superior temporal regions, while Brits have more active left frontal and posterior inferior temporal regions. While researchers said the immediate importance of the study lies in the area of teaching language and reading, it's sure to play a role in future anthropological research seeking to explain the differences between cultures. Unfortunately, there are no studies yet of what impact Pokemon-speak...
Scanning probe microscopes, which can also be used to manipulate molecules, are inferior to nanotweezers because they only have a single probe that can move the molecules...
Harvard's reliance on the freshmen was such that the team's only regular-season slip-up--a 1-0 loss to an inferior New Hampshire squad in early September--was marked by the absence of all of the Crimson's first-year players. The freshmen were not allowed to leave the campus during orientation week due to University regulations, leaving the Crimson shorthanded...
