In each set of experiments, mice exposed to mutant strains survived for the 21 - day duration of the experiment, whereas mice exposed to the wild - type strain rapidly died. (jcvi.org)
However, with extended duration of the experiment, the scientists discovered that the mutants were able to remember the new information much better. (sciencedaily.com)
The team used interferometric ultrafast velocimetry and pyrometry to characterize the optical properties of the shocked compressed water and determine its thermodynamic properties during the brief 10 - 20 nanosecond duration of the experiment, before pressure release waves decompressed the sample and vaporized the diamonds and the water.
