Using functional
magnetic resonance imaging — a technique that monitors brain activity in real time — the Johns Hopkins group found reversing a decision requires ultrafast
communication between two specific zones within the prefrontal cortex and another nearby structure called the frontal eye
field, an area involved in controlling eye movements and visual awareness.

communications network with 66 Iridium satellites, each of which has a magnetometer capable of monitoring Earth's
magnetic field.
The short - term behavior of the Earth's
magnetic field has important ramifications for satellites and satellite

The largest of these eruptions cause what is known as space weather — the radiation, energetic particles and
magnetic field releases from the Sun powerful enough to cause severe effects in Earth's near environment, such as the disruption of
communications, power lines and navigations systems.
When this wave of
magnetic material washes over the Earth, it interacts with the planet's
magnetic fields, causing a geomagnetic storm that can disrupt
communications, GPS and the power grid.
A recent paper in Nature
Communications shows how the transport of a laser - driven relativistic electron beam in dense matter is improved when imposing a strong
