John "melodysheep" Boswell has remixed another scientific masterpiece. He writes:

"We Are All Connected" was made from sampling Carl Sagan's Cosmos, The History Channel's Universe series, Richard Feynman's 1983 interviews, Neil deGrasse Tyson's cosmic sermon, and Bill Nye's Eyes of Nye Series, plus added visuals from The Elegant Universe (NOVA), Stephen Hawking's Universe, Cosmos, the Powers of 10, and more. It is a tribute to great minds of science, intended to spread scientific knowledge and philosophy through the medium of music.

A Glorious Dawn, which was remixed by John Boswell (a.k.a. melodysheep to YouTube users) as a tribute to astronomer Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking, is now available as a seven-inch single.  The single was produced by Jack White's [wiki] Third Man Record label.  Link

Biologist Christopher Meehan and his team discovered that the Bagheera kiplingi spider (named after the panther from Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book) primarily feasts on buds that grow on acacia plants. 

In the article, it is stated that the spider occasionally snacks on ant larvae.  Wouldn't that make the spider an omnivore [wiki]?

Daniel Burd is a 16-year-old from Waterloo, Ontario who came up with a way to decompose a plastic bag in three months.  (Plastic bags typically take thousands of years to decompose.)

After weeks of experimenting, Burd was able to isolate the plastic-eating microbes, Sphingomonas and Pseudomonas, that produced the most weight loss in the plastic bags.

Some folks over at the University of Nottingham put together The Periodic Table of Videos, which is an interactive table that plays a video about each element you click on.  Check it out.  You may learn something.  Link.

Jason wrote up a post over at Hackszine.com about an interesting study that was conducted over at Harvard Medical School about a second circadian clock in mammals.

There was an interview with Clifford Saper, a professor of Neurology and Neuroscience at Harvard Medical School, in last week's Science Friday. The discussion was about a study which was just published in the journal Science about a second circadian clock in mammals that is driven by food availability. The research suggests that this second clock evolved as a sleep-cycle "reset" mechanism which allows mammals to very quickly adapt to optimize their wake period and maximize the chances of finding food during times when food is scarce.

This starvation override can take effect after only 16 hours of fasting. When the fast is cancelled by a sufficient caloric intake (read: real food), the body will shift its natural wake time to coincide with the event. So if you want to ditch your jet lag, or if you want to get up earlier in the morning, it might be as simple as fasting for the 16 hours prior to the time you would like to wake up, then eat a big meal. Your body will then override its normal light-based rhythm and wake at that same time going forward.

By using a new technique which uses attosecond pulses, scientists can now film an electron in motion.

Previously it was impossible to photograph electrons because of their extreme speediness, so scientists had to rely on more indirect methods. These methods could only measure the effect of an electron's movement, whereas the new technique can capture the entire event.

Extremely short flashes of light are necessary to capture an electron in motion. A technology developed within the last few years can generate short pulses of intense laser light, called attosecond pulses, to get the job done.

"It takes about 150 attoseconds for an electron to circle the nucleus of an atom. An attosecond is 10^-18 seconds long, or, expressed in another way: an attosecond is related to a second as a second is related to the age of the universe," said Johan Mauritsson of Lund University in Sweden.
