...understand it. Nothing Blue Man Group does makes much conventional sense. The troupe's 80-minute theater piece, called Tubes, is a potpourri of physical stunts, visual gags, art commentary, audience participation and all-out sensory assault. In the '60s it might have been called a happening; today the preferred term is performance art. Whatever, it is the most talked-about off-Broadway show of the season -- and the most bracingly original...
Researchers speculate that the greater communication between the two sides | of the brain could impair a woman's performance of certain highly specialized visual-spatial tasks. For example, the ability to tell directions on a map without physically having to rotate it appears stronger in those individuals whose brains restrict the process to the right hemisphere. Any crosstalk between the two sides apparently distracts the brain from its job. Sure enough, several studies have shown that this mental-rotation skill is indeed more tightly focused in men's brains than in women...
...were any spatial tasks at which women outperformed men. Looking at it from the point of view of human evolution, Silverman and Eals reasoned that while men may have developed strong spatial skills in response to evolutionary pressures to be successful hunters, women would have needed other types of visual skills to excel as gatherers and foragers of food...

...sodium joins with other atoms to form salts to how plants convert sunlight into energy through the process of photosynthesis. Physicists from California's Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory reported that they used such a laser to take a "snapshot" of the chemical reaction that is the first step in visual perception. This reaction, triggered when light hits the retina of the eye, had never before been directly observed. And with good reason. The reaction was clocked by the L.B.L. team at 200 femtoseconds, which are millionths of a billionth of a second. How fast is that? Well, in little more than...
