 SCIENCE BRIEFS
It was logical to conclude that the explosions of supernovae in space would spread dust (mainly as carbon and silicate particles) but astronomers had not seen enough dust around supernovae to support this idea.
One of the objects in the F-ring (S/2004 S6) is known to have existed for more than a year and may be a moon; it is on an orbit that periodically crosses the ring.
Some astronomers argue it to be the "tenth planet." Because Ceres is located in the "asteroid belt" it was presumed to be homogeneous in structure and therefore not a planet.

Experimental science demands creativity in solving problems great and small, and the study of animal behavior makes a dramatic showcase for the process.
Animals clearly have minds of their own, and to elucidate such foreign perspectives, researchers have to design cleverly, from the basic strategy of the experiment to dozens of lesser details.
The core of an experiment in behavioral science depends on changing one thing about an animal's world but leaving everything else the same.

 MATERIALS SCIENCE: ON PIEZOELECTRIC CERAMICS
Recent first-principles theoretical work (2-4), however, has indicated that the critical size is orders of magnitude smaller than previously thought, and this view has been corroborated by some measurements (5).
Fong et al (Science 2004 304:1650) provided the first unambiguous experimental evidence that these theoretical predictions and recent experimental indications are indeed correct by confirming that ferroelectricity persists down to vanishingly small sizes.
However, at some critical size the screening becomes insufficient, and the electrostatic energy associated with the residual depolarizing field becomes larger than the energy gained by ferroelectric ordering.
