Dense quark matter in nature
According to quantum chromodynamics (QCD), matter at ultra-high densities will take the form of a color-superconducting quark liquid, in which there is a condensate of Cooper pairs of quarks near the Fermi surface. I present a review of the physics of color superconductivity. I give particular attention to the recently proposed gapless CFL (gCFL) phase, which has unusual properties such as quas...
متن کاملScents of converging
The tropical robber crab of the Indian and Pacific Oceans represents a remarkable example of evolution. It has become the largest land-living arthropod weighing up to 4 kg and spanning half a metre in diameter. And after a marine larval stage it spends its time on land, and will drown if submerged under water. Sea to land transitions are demanding of many aspects of life, and in a new study rep...
متن کاملMaking scents of sounds.
Flavor just got some competition. Smell and taste are known to converge to produce the best and worst of culinary experiences, but new research suggests that information received through the nose can also be altered by noise. If confirmed, this newfound union could have potent olfactory and gustatory implications. The discovery of a possible smell-sound sense, or “smound,” came to Daniel Wesson...
متن کاملOlfaction: Scents and sensibility
Expression of a receptor protein has, for the first time, been definitively correlated with sensitivity to a particular odorant. This receptor, expressed in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, appears to be distinct from the putative vertebrate odorant receptors.
متن کاملSparse Encoding of Natural Scents
Natural scents are mixtures of tens to hundreds of individual chemical compounds. While previous studies have investigated how the olfactory bulb responds to simple odorants, how the nose and the brain respond to and interpret complex mixtures is less clear. In a paper in this issue of Neuron, Lin et al. combined gas chromatography and intrinsic signal imaging to examine the responses of indivi...
