Roman ingots to shield particle detector : Nature News

Posted on 17th April 2010 in Interesting

s a testimony to the extent of ancient Romes manufacturing and trading capacities, the ingots are of great value to archaeologists, who have been preserving and studying them at the National Archaeological Museum in Cagliari, southern Sardinia. What makes the ingots equally valuable to physicists is the fact that over the past 2,000 years their lead has almost completely lost its natural radioactivity. It is therefore the perfect material with which to shield the CUORE Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events detector, which Italys National Institute of Nuclear Physics INFN is building at the Gran Sasso laboratory.

Study Sheds Light on What Makes People Shy

By LiveScience Staffposted: 06 April

The brains of shy or introverted individuals might actually process the world differently than their more extroverted counterparts, a new study suggests.About 20 percent of people are born with a personality trait called sensory perception sensitivity SPS that can manifest itself as the tendency to be inhibited, or even neuroticism. The trait can be seen in some children who are “slow to warm up” in a situation but eventually join in, need little punishment, cry easily, ask unusual questions or have especially deep thoughts, the study researchers say.The new results show that these highly sensitive individuals also pay more attention to detail, and have more activity in certain regions of their brains when trying to process visual information than those who are not classified as highly sensitive.
