| Theater arts research offers insight for designers, builders of social robots Posted: 21 Nov 2014 11:12 AM PST Researchers have provided insight into human behavior for scientists, engineers who design and build social robots. |
| Nail stem cells prove more versatile than press ons Posted: 21 Nov 2014 07:29 AM PST There are plenty of body parts that don't grow back when you lose them. Nails are an exception, and a new study reveals some of the reasons why. A team of researchers has identified a new population of nail stem cells, which have the ability to either self-renew or undergo specialization or differentiation into multiple tissues. |
| Tapeworm found living inside a patient's brain: Worm removed and sequenced Posted: 20 Nov 2014 05:45 PM PST A genome of a rare species of tapeworm found living inside a patient's brain has been sequenced for the first time. The study provides insights into potential drug targets within the genome for future treatments. |
| Tomorrow's degradable electronics Posted: 20 Nov 2014 05:19 AM PST Researchers are developing electronics that disappear to order. When the FM frequencies are removed in Norway in 2017, all old-fashioned radios will become obsolete, leaving the biggest collection of redundant electronics ever seen – a mountain of waste weighing something between 25,000 and 30,000 tons. The same thing is happening with today's mobile telephones, PCs and tablets, all of which are constantly being updated and replaced faster than the blink of an eye. The old devices end up on waste tips, and even though we in the west recover some materials for recycling, this is only a small proportion of the whole. And nor does the future bode well with waste in mind. Technologists' vision of the future is the "Internet of Things". |
| Sun's rotating 'magnet' pulls lightning towards UK Posted: 19 Nov 2014 05:48 PM PST The sun may be playing a part in the generation of lightning strikes on Earth by temporarily 'bending' the Earth's magnetic field and allowing a shower of energetic particles to enter the upper atmosphere. |
