Researchers have conducted a 16-year long experiment to challenge Einstein’s theory of general relativity. The international team looked to the stars - a pair of extreme stars called pulsars to be precise – through seven radio telescopes across the globe.

Pre-term infants slower at processing information

Although individuals vary widely, on average, pre-term infants are markedly slower at processing information — including understanding what they see — than full-term infants. New research shows this deficit in processing speed is already present in the first year of life and the gap in performance does not narrow with age. The research is published in the November issue of Developmental Psychology, a journal of the American Psychological Association (APA).
