| Body's response to spicy foods guides design of new pain relief drugs Posted: 09 Jun 2015 06:34 PM PDT The molecular interactions that allow capsaicin to activate the body's primary receptor for sensing heat and pain have been identified by scientists, paving the way for the design of more selective and effective drugs to relieve pain.  |
| Dinosaur fossil investigation unlocks possible soft tissue treasure trove Posted: 09 Jun 2015 08:37 AM PDT Scientists have found remnants that have some similarities to red blood cells and collagen fibres in fragments of dinosaur fossils.  |
| Just add water: Engineers develop computer that operates on water droplets Posted: 09 Jun 2015 06:30 AM PDT A synchronous computer has been developed that operates using the unique physics of moving water droplets. Their goal is to design a new class of computers that can precisely control and manipulate physical matter.  |
| Researchers isolate smallest unit of sleep to date Posted: 09 Jun 2015 06:30 AM PDT Scientists have grown a tiny group of brain cells that can be induced to fall asleep, wake up and even show rebound sleep after 'staying up late.' The study -- the first to document that sleep originates in small neural networks -- opens the door to deeper understanding of the genetic, molecular and electrical aspects underlying sleep disorders.  |
| Posted: 08 Jun 2015 06:30 PM PDT Researchers are proving that wireless signals can do more than provide Internet access. They have demonstrated that a WiFi signal can be used to count the number of people in a given space, leading to diverse applications, from energy efficiency to search-and-rescue.  |
