Washington, April 2 : Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC (University of California) San Diego have uncovered key clues about bioluminescent worms in the sea that produce a green glow and the biological mechanisms behind their light production.
Research conducted by Scripps marine biologists Dimitri Deheyn and Michael Latz reveals that marine fireworms use bioluminescence to attract suitors in an undersea mating ritual.

Washington, Apr 1 : A new study from University of Illinois has revealed that kids who are physically active have greater cognitive control or ability to pay attention, and perform better at school.
The research led by Charles Hillman, a professor of kinesiology and community health and the director of the Neurocognitive Kinesiology Laboratory at Illinois, showed that physical activity may increase students’ cognitive control – or ability to pay attention – and also result in better performance on academic achievement tests.
