Science and Culture: Modern “cathedral” offers artistic inspiration
Grandeur is typically associated with feats of architecture, not scientific experiments. But one artist sees beauty in the curves of the LHC. Image courtesy of Jonathan Feldschuh (artist).

News Feature: Prehistoric animals, in living color
Paleontologists are looking beyond bones to reveal the hues of prehistoric animals that vanished millions of years ago. But the young field has its share of disagreements. Image courtesy of Michael DiGiorgio (artist).

San Andreas tremors and low-frequency earthquakes
Small, deep earthquakes in the San Andreas Fault are most likely to occur when the Earth tide waxes, a study suggests. -

Common cold and temperature
Researchers report that when human lung airway cells were exposed to warm temperatures replication of the common cold virus was restricted by increased cell death and the activity of a viral RNA-degrading enzyme, suggesting that independent of interferon-mediated inhibition of the common cold virus, body temperature likely influences multiple antiviral defense strategies and the progression of common cold infections. -

Prebiotic chemistry on Titan
Quantum mechanical calculations find that the electronic and structural properties of a polymer called polyimine, which is formed from hydrogen cyanide, a molecule that is likely central to prebiotic chemistry, could potentially facilitate prebiotic reactions under the ultra-cold conditions on Saturn’s moon Titan, according to a study. -
