 Children who believe intelligence can grow pay more attention to and
bounce back from their mistakes more effectively than others who think
intelligence is fixed, indicates a new study that measured the young
participants’ brain waves.
Led by scholars at Michigan State University, the research suggests
teachers and parents should help children pay more attention to the mistakes
they make so they can better learn from them, as opposed to shying away
from or glossing over mistakes.
“The main implication here is that we should pay close attention to our
mistakes and use them as opportunities to learn,” said Hans Schroder, lead
author on the study and a fifth-year doctoral student in MSU’s Department of
Psychology.

Our muscles are amazing structures. With the trigger of a thought,
muscle filaments slide past each other and bundles of contracting fibers
pull on the bones moving our bodies. The triggered stretching behavior
of muscle is inherently based in geometry, characterized by a decrease
in length and increase in volume (or vice versa) in response to a change
in the local environment, such as humidity or heat.

Variations of this dynamic geometry appear elsewhere in nature,
exhibiting a variety of mechanisms and structures and inspiring
development in artificial muscle technology. Spider silk, specifically
Ornithoctonus Huwena spider silk, now offers the newest such
inspiration thanks to research from a collaboration of scientists in China
and the U.S., the results of which are published today in Applied Physics
Letters, from AIP Publishing.
