The results in the cover story of the latest issue of Nature Neuroscience have important implications for standardized tests, which often employ ordered-list retention as...

I'm a college student in Tennessee who has a conservative political talk show on my university radio station. I like to play audio clips (like the real talk show guys do), but I have limited resources finding good ones. So far, I've had to use those available on Rush's site, Foxnews, and a few other obvious sources. Does anybody know of good websites that have recent political audio available for download?

Richard Wiseman told a conference in the northern English city of Manchester on Monday his tests showed extreme bass sounds, like those emitted by some church organs or from the wind on windows and chimneys, could have a profound effect on feelings. "It makes people feel extremely strange, even though they...

(The Web address was incorrect in a story in Saturday’s paper.) FloridaSOUNDOFF.com launched in June. The online forums have...

Essentially, HSS does for sound what the laser did for light — intensely focuses and channels it so it can travel great distances without dispersing. In the usual HSS demo, a technician points a cereal box-size speaker at someone standing on the...
