A team of scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California announced today that they have produced livermorium (element number 116) for the first time using a beam of titanium particles. The achievement brings scientists closer to the island of stability — the point where superheavy elements are theorized to be long-lived — making them easier to study. “We wanted nature to be kind to us, and nature was kind to us,” Rainer Kruecken, director of nuclear sciences at Berkeley Lab, said in a statement from the lab. “We estimate it will take about 10 times longer to make…

One of the best-known neuropathic pain relieving phenomena, the placebo effect, has not been fully understood for centuries. In an important development, researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have now tricked a group of mice into expecting pain relief when in fact it wasn’t, and in the process identified specific brain circuits that appear to play a key role in this process. The effect of administering substances that have no actual medicinal effect on patients, resulting in improvement in their condition, has been well documented dating back to the 18th century. 18th centuryPrevious experiments have established…
