| Recipe for antibacterial plastic: Plastic plus egg whites Posted: 27 Mar 2015 05:17 PM PDT Bioplastics made from protein sources such as albumin and whey have shown significant antibacterial properties, findings that could eventually lead to their use in plastics used in medical applications such as wound healing dressings, sutures, catheter tubes and drug delivery, according to a recent study. The bioplastic materials could also be used for food packaging. |
| New lobster-like predator found in 508 million-year-old fossil-rich site Posted: 27 Mar 2015 09:05 AM PDT What do butterflies, spiders and lobsters have in common? They are all surviving relatives of a newly identified species called Yawunik kootenayi, a marine creature with two pairs of eyes and prominent grasping appendages that lived as much as 508 million years ago -- more than 250 million years before the first dinosaur. |
| Posted: 27 Mar 2015 07:11 AM PDT Of 85 UCLA undergraduate students, only one correctly recalled the Apple logo when asked to draw it on a blank sheet of paper, psychologists found. Fewer than half correctly identified the logo when shown several options. |
| First glimpse inside a macroscopic quantum state Posted: 27 Mar 2015 06:10 AM PDT Scientists report on the detection of particle entanglement in a beam of squeezed light. Researchers were able to observe effects of entanglement monogamy, where particles can be strongly entangled only if they have few entanglement partners. |
