Imagine you are sitting in the back of a classroom, daydreaming about the weekend. Then, out of nowhere, the teacher calls upon you to come to the front the room and solve a math problem. In front of everyone. If just reading this scenario has given you sweaty palms and an increased heart rate, you are not alone. Many of us have experienced math anxiety and in a new report in Current Directions in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, University of Chicago psychologist Sian L. Beilock examines some recent research looking at why being stressed about math can result in poor performance in solving problems.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have become the first to observe the Magnus effect in light, potentially opening a new avenue for controlling light in nanometer-scale optical devices, which could lead to much faster computation data processing. The discovery also provides a more precise way to study important physical behavior that until now could only be observed in relatively complex, messy condensed matter systems. The findings are published in the December 2008 issue of Nature Photonics.
