Good news, America. Russia helped install your president. But although he owes his job in large part to that help, the president did not conspire or collude with his helpers. He was the beneficiary of a foreign intelligence operation, but not an active participant in that operation. He received the stolen goods, but he did not conspire with the thieves in advance. This is what Donald Trump's admi

In new work being presented this week about the effects of exercise on the brain at the Cognitive Neuroscience Society (CNS) in San Francisco, researchers are finding that brain changes that occur after a single workout are predictive of what happens with sustained physical training over time.
So much about the rise of Donald Trump defied reason. But in the spring of 2016, he displayed one habit that I found beyond perplexing: He couldn't stop praising Vladimir Putin. What made his obsequiousness so galling was that it often came in response to questions that warranted moral disdain: What about the assassination of journalists critical of the Russian government? Are you bothered by the
Flexible, lightweight, 4D-printed materials could lead to better shock absorbers, morphing airplane or drone wings, soft robotics, and tiny implantable biomedical devices, report researchers. 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, turns digital blueprints to physical objects by building them layer by layer. 4D printing is similar to this technology, but with one big difference: it use
Related individuals of the soil bacterium Myxococcus xanthus live in cooperative groups and exhibit astonishing genetic and behavioral diversity, research finds. The cells of this predatory bacterium form cooperative groups that swarm together and hunt other microorganisms within the soil. In order to move as a group, they secrete lubricating substances and cast out appendages that attach to the

African-American women are nearly twice as likely to give birth prematurely as white women. A new study suggests racial discrimination and PTSD may account for the trend. Preterm births often coincide with low birth weight, and together link to other developmental delays and health effects believed responsible for almost one-fifth of infant deaths nationwide. "Pregnancy is a stress test for the b
We cannot yet see the report that Special Counsel Robert Mueller submitted to Attorney General William Barr on Friday. But we can see its shadow in the four-page letter Barr sent to the chairs and ranking members of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees on Sunday afternoon. The letter will be touted as vindication by President Donald Trump and his supporters, but will do little to bridge the
More than 675 days, 19 lawyers, 40 FBI agents, 2,800 subpoenas, and 500 search warrants later, Attorney General William Barr has announced the core finding of Robert Mueller's Russia probe: no collusion. The verdict was quickly celebrated by a White House legal team whose strategy was to treat the investigation more as a public-relations battle than as strictly a legal fight. In a letter delivere

Recent memories run in our brains like sped-up old movies. In childhood, we capture images in our memory much more quickly. The complexities of grownup neural pathways are no match for the direct routes of young brains. None Mechanical engineer Adrian Bejan of Duke University has an interesting theory regarding the strange phenomenon by which time seems to speed up as we age. It's not the only th
Statisticians are calling on their profession to abandon one of its most treasured markers of significance. But what could replace it? Statistical arguments are a crucial part of decision-making in a modern society. The kind of decisions that governments and large companies must make all the time are governed by probabilities. In those circumstances of uncertain knowledge we need to reduce a cloud

Cottage cheese faced a problem: After World War II, batches of the soft, lumpy dairy concoction developed a propensity to take on a rancid odor and a bitter taste. That changed in 1951 , when dairy researchers identified the culprits, three bacterial miscreants that produced this "slimy curd defect." To prevent the condition, researchers advised cheesemakers to keep these bacteria from entering t

From experience, women often assume that any opposition to power will produce retaliation followed by retrenchment: not only that any progress made will be clawed back, but that those pushing for it will be punished. While often realistic, fear of blowback can impede insistence on change and the collective mobilization it requires. Anxiety about backlash, however well founded, keeps one's antenna
