Hideo Mabuchi, professor of applied physics, grew up in a culture that values traditional craft and began collecting it himself during his travels. So, although he began making ceramics on “a bit of a…
Physicist Robert Byer worked on lasers when they were still just an interesting technology, never imagining their myriad modern uses or how they would affect his life.
Pain sensation and the emotional experience of pain are not the same, and now, in mice, scientists at Stanford have found the neurons responsible for the latter.
