Science of the Week 7/15/11

Here are a few of the science articles I found interesting this week:

New material could offer hope to those with no voice

search engines supplanting our memory

Galaxy-sized twist in time pulls violating particles back into line

Soft memory device opens door to new biocompatible electronics

Stem cells restore cognitive abilities impaired by brain cancer treatment

Fish oil cuts inflammation--and anxiety


Out-of-body experiences linked to neural instability, biases in body representation


Have a good weekend, and try to stay cool!

About This Blog

As a science fiction/fantasy author, I discuss topics such as science, writing science fiction/fantasy, indie-publishing, books, and authors. On a personal note, I also blog about my family and the Beatles. I usually post three times a week. A recurring topic is Science of the Week on Fridays, though sometimes it's preempted.

Although I'm not comfortable reviewing books, I am willing to host author interviews and participate in blog tours. Please e-mail me at ulbrichalmazanATsbcglobalDOTnet.
