...those girls in the back of the class, her nose buried in a book (so you can't see her beauty) or daydreaming (so you can't read her mind). And then, in a flash: prom queen! Star of the school play! Valedictorian or vamp! Likely Oscar nominee for 21 Grams! Her vault from nowhere to notoriety reminds you that anonymity is an ideal perch for looking at others, and into oneself. Nothing succeeds like late success...

Physical contact--the feeling of skin on skin, the tickle of hair on face, the intimate scent drawn in by nose pressed to neck--is one of the most precious, priceless things Homo sapiens can offer one another. Mothers and their babies share it one way, friends and siblings share it another, teams and crowds in a celebratory scrum share it a third. And of course lovers share it in the most complex...

...rejuvenator. Found in the umbilical cord, some bacteria and the red combs of roosters, hyaluronan reduces inflammation in arthritic knees and prevents scar tissue after surgery. It's also what makes up the gel Restylane, a Medicis product recently approved by the FDA to plump wrinkles around the nose and mouth.

Another wrinkle buster, Hylaform, manufactured by Genzyme, is awaiting FDA approval...

They were not difficult to find. Students immediately began to call Aron's psychology lab to volunteer. Mashek weeded out those who had metal in their heads (such as lip, tongue or nose jewelry or braces on their teeth) that would affect the magnet in the fMRI machine. She also excluded those who were claustrophobic, those taking medication that could affect brain physiology, and men and women who were left-handed. Brain organization can vary with handedness, and we needed to standardize our sample as much as possible...

Most electronic noses have sensors that can detect the presence of a suspicious chemical by measuring the disturbance it causes in sound waves across a small quartz crystal. But just like a dog's nose, those electronic sniffers aren't able to determine whether the substance is cocaine or a compound with similarly sized molecules, such as caffeine. Stubbs addressed that problem by coating the sensor with an antibody that was similar in structure to cocaine. As a result, if cocaine were present in a room, it would attach to the antibody molecules and set off an electrical signal. Initial...
