Biologists identify the molecular basis of high-altitude adaptation in mice
Biologists have long known how adaptive evolution works. New mutations arise within a population and those that confer some benefits to the organism increase in frequency and eventually become fixed in the population. A significant challenge for evo…

Forecast: Nebraska to be spared from worst as economy 'resets'
While the U.S. economy is showing signs of recovery, the chances of a rapid nationwide economic recovery, of the kind that typically follows a recession, are slim, a report by the Nebraska Business Forecast Council shows. Instead, the economy is lik…

Laser-created temporal lens could lead to movies of molecular processes
Finding a way to observe and record the behavior of matter at the molecular level has long been a holy grail among physicists. That ability could open the door to a wide range of applications in ultrafast electron microscopy used in a large array of …

Study discovers clues into how eyes search
Like the robots in the "Terminator" movies, our eyes move methodically through a scene when seeking out an object. If we don't immediately find what we're searching for, our attention leaves the already-scanned area behind and moves on to new, unexpl…
