Free will takes flight: how our brains respond to an approaching menace
08-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
Wellcome Trust scientists have identified for the first time how our brain's response changes the closer a threat gets. Using a "Pac Man"-like computer game where a volunteer is pursued by an artificial predator, the researchers showed that the fear response moves from the strategic areas of the brain towards more reactive responses as the artificial predator approaches.

In The Matrix, hero Neo wins his battles when time slows in the simulated world. In the real world, accident victims often report a similar slowing as they slide unavoidably into disaster. But can humans really experience events in slow motion? Apparently not, said researchers at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, who studied how volunteers experience time when they free-fall 100 feet into a net below.

Highest Energies Yet From Laser Wakefield Acceleration: From Zero To A Billion Electron Volts ...
10-05-2006 · ScienceDaily
In a precedent-shattering demonstration of the potential of laser wakefield acceleration, scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, working with colleagues at the University of Oxford, have accelerated electron beams to energies exceeding a billion electron volts (1 GeV) in a distance of just 3.3 centimeters. Billion-electron-volt beams from laser wakefield accelerators open the way to very compact high-energy experiments and superbright free-electron lasers.
