Publisher's Summary:

The suspected discovery of an atomic nucleus with four neutrons but no protons has physicists scratching their heads. If confirmed, this tetra-neutron would be the first example of an uncharged nucleus, something that many theorists say should not exist. It would be something of a sensation, says Peter Schuck, a nuclear theorist at CNRS in France who was not involved in the work.

Publisher's Summary:

Kemal Ali ran a successful well-digging business for farmers in northern Syria for 30 years. He had everything he needed for the job: a heavy driver to pound pipe into the ground, a battered but reliable truck to carry his machinery, a willing crew of young men to do the grunt work. More than that, he had a sharp sense of where to dig, as well as trusted contacts in local government on whom he could count to look the other way if he bent the rules. Then things changed. In the winter of 20062007, the water table began sinking like never before.

Title: Ocean Flora Flunk Photosynthesis Test

Author: Chris Samoray

Narrator: Jamie Renell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-10-16

Publisher: Science News

Genres: Science & Technology, Magazine & Radio

Publisher's Summary:

Phytoplankton that harvest sunlight in the worlds oceans make more heat than food, a new study finds. The microscopic marine organisms, an important food source in the ocean, use photosynthesis to turn sunlight into cellular fuel. But nearly twice as much of the sunlight energy captured by phyto-plankton is released as heat as is used to make food. The finding suggests that phytoplankton are not as efficient photosynthesizers as thought.

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-08-16

Publisher: MIT Technology Review

Genres: Science & Technology, Magazine & Radio

Publisher's Summary:

A controversial genetic technology able to wipe out the mosquito carrying the Zika virus will be available within months, scientists say. The technology, called a gene drive, was demonstrated only last year in yeast cells, fruit flies, and a species of mosquito that transmits malaria. It uses the gene-snipping technology CRISPR to force a genetic change to spread through a population as it reproduces.

Title: This Football Helmet Design Promises to Protect the Brain, Not Just the Skull

Author: Mike Orcutt

Narrator: Elizabeth Wells

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-03-16

Publisher: MIT Technology Review

Genres: Science & Technology, Magazine & Radio

Publisher's Summary:

Helmet designers have so far failed to account for a key cause of brain injury - the kinetic energy that travels through the head after an impact and makes the brain slosh inside the skull. Thats according to Ellen Arruda, a mechanical engineering professor at the University of Michigan, who is leading an effort to change that. She and her colleagues have unveiled a prototype of a new helmet technology capable of dissipating a significant portion of that kinetic energy, also known as the impulse, before it reaches the brain.
