Of course, the number of digits in π is infinite, but over the years, as computers have become more powerful, we know many more of them than ever before. But it’s one thing to say that I can download trillions of digits of π and another to make some sort of sense out of all of these digits. Into this steps a team of researchers from Australia, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Simon Fraser University with some elegant visualizations of π. In a recent paper, they used a classic method of visualizing large strings of numbers: the random walk. More on "Pi": http://www.scoop.it/t/science-news?tag=pi

Like many kids, Antonio Torralba began playing around with computers when he was 13 years old. Unlike many of his friends, though, he was not playing video games, but writing his own artificial intelligence (AI) programs.

Bees are a flower's best friends. Echoing previous studies from the northern part of the world, the Australian data, published today in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, shows that flowers Down Under show the most color variance in the narrow spectra that insects are most sensitive to. This helps an insect distinguish flowers, remember their favorite, and return to it—good news for the plant. The results, now replicated on two continents, likely hold true elsewhere as well.

There’s a commonly held view that if the American public received more exposure to the true consequences of war they would be less willing to support military endeavors. It’s a logical argument, but new research suggests that seeing images of destruction can actually have the opposite effect. Specifically, seeing images of destroyed buildings may make somebody more likely to support military action against an ideological enemy.

Brain images are believed to have a particularly persuasive influence on the public perception of research on cognition. Three experiments are reported showing that presenting brain images with articles summarizing cognitive neuroscience research resulted in higher ratings of scientific reasoning for arguments made in those articles, as compared to articles accompanied by bar graphs, a topographical map of brain activation, or no image
