8. UI spatial cognition research explains explorers' limited ability to navigate
   08-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Historical reports suggest that when Magellan, Columbus and other explorers sailed from Europe to the New World 500 years ago, they navigated the open sea by imagining an island just over the horizon. If they kept track of where the "virtual island" was, they knew in which direction to sail in the open water. But new research from the University of Iowa suggests that people's ability to imagine virtual islands -- without any perceptual cues to help -- is quite limited.

   The Department of Energy (DOE) has granted "Critical Decision 1" (CD-1) status to the National Synchrotron Light Source-II (NSLS-II). This decision, which assures the facility's location at DOE's Brookhaven National Laboratory, is a major step forward in the long process to make this state-of-the-art research complex a reality. The world leading capabilities of NSLS-II will enable exploration of the scientific challenges faced in developing new materials with advanced properties.
