Deep microbial life in subduction zone
A chemical analysis of organic matter encapsulated in rocks from a serpentine mud volcano above the Izu-Bonin-Mariana subduction zone in the Pacific Ocean indicates that microbial life deep within or below the mud volcano may have produced the organic matter. -

Epiphany learning model
In an experiment with undergraduates who played multiple rounds of a game in which two players each choose a number with the goal of being closest to 90% of the average of the two chosen numbers, most players who adopted the optimal strategy of always choosing zero did so in a sudden rather than gradual fashion, while exhibiting eye movement and pupil dilation patterns consistent with the authors’ model of epiphany learning. -
