Why don’t we suffocate whenever we try to take a breath?
An international team of scientists has used quantum mechanics–the science that usually deals with events at the level of the ultra-small – to solve this human-sized mystery.
Quantum mechanics has long proved its value in understanding such phenomena as the behavior of electrons and in classifying subatomic particles. But in recent years theorists have increasingly shown how it applies to all facets of life, large and small.

Climbers who spend extended periods at high altitude lose weight and eat less while they are there. Two British researchers think this phenomenon is the consequence of an evolutionary adaptation that protects vital organs in cases of severe illness and injury, and may give important insights into the treatment of patients in intensive care units.
Concussions are the issue of the times for football players; and in an effort to improve player protection, Riddell and the Translational Genomics Research Institute are teaming up with the Arizona State University Sun Devil football program for a second year in genetic research designed to advance research in detection and treatment. “Player protection has […]
Everyone has some experience with the laced brown oblong-shaped ball that is used in America’s most popular sport. Whether it is tossing it around in the backyard, playing in your local Turkey Bowl, or watching the Super Bowl, the football has continuously brought people together in revelry and competition. While most sports use a symmetrical sphere to ensure no matter where the ball makes contact it will have the same type of bounce, the football is an awkward watermelon shape. Now, obviously the football itself is not meant to be struck but rather, spiraled through the air into an outstretched receiver’s hands.
