A presentation by Google at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exposition/National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference in San Diego on March 24 will examine the technologies that will emerge in the next three to four years to power warehouse-scale computing data centers, upon which companies such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook and many more are increasingly relying.
Human cells exhibit foraging behavior like amoebae and bacteria
When cells move about in the body, they follow a complex pattern similar to that which amoebae and bacteria use when searching for food, a team of Vanderbilt researchers have found.
R-rated movies increase likelihood of underage children trying alcohol
R-rated movies portray violence and other behaviors deemed inappropriate for children under 17 year of age. A new study finds one more reason why parents should not let their kids watch those movies: adolescents who watch R-rated movies are more likely to try alcohol at a young age.

 Science Daily Mysterious cosmic 'dark flow' tracked deeper into universe
Distant galaxy clusters mysteriously stream at a million miles per hour along a path roughly centered on the southern constellations Centaurus and Hydra. A new study tracks this collective motion -- dubbed the "dark flow" -- to twice the distance originally reported.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/GsYTHBe2ca0" height="1" width="1"/>
Brain mechanism may explain alcohol cravings that drive relapse
New research provides exciting insight into the molecular mechanisms associated with addiction and relapse. The study uncovers a crucial mechanism that facilitates motivation for alcohol after extended abstinence and opens new avenues for potential therapeutic intervention.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/fQcsG3RSAxM" height="1" width="1"/>
Temporary hearing deprivation can lead to 'lazy ear'
Scientists have gained new insight into why a relatively short-term hearing deprivation during childhood may lead to persistent hearing deficits, long after hearing is restored to normal. The research reveals that, much like the visual cortex, development of the auditory cortex is quite vulnerable if it does not receive appropriate stimulation at just the right time.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/iJufmtOSmyI" height="1" width="1"/>
