A new tool may help standardize the use of computed tomography (CT scans) in children with minor head injury and help reduce the number of scans, according to a new study.
Collisions of gold ions traveling at nearly the speed of light have created matter at a temperature of about 4 trillion degrees Celsius — higher than the temperature needed to melt protons and neutrons into a plasma of quarks and gluons.

Maize production in West and Central Africa is set to get a significant boost. Newly released varieties address many of the major constraints to grain production in the sub-region such as drought, low soil fertility, pests, diseases and parasitic weeds. Researchers developed the varieties through conventional plant breeding by tapping naturally-available traits.

Sleepiness at the wheel and poor sleep quality significantly increase the risk of motor vehicle accidents in adolescents.
Having helped scientists study the building blocks of the universe, peer inside the human body in miniscule detail and monitor climate change, grid computing could soon be put to more mundane uses by your home or office computer.
Climate change will lead to fewer traffic accidents in West Midlands, UK. New research estimates climate change to decrease the number of days with temperatures below zero degrees in West Midlands. It will also reduce the number of traffic accidents – and the need for winter road maintenance may decrease by almost 40 percent.
