| Resolving social conflict is key to survival of bacterial communities Posted: 22 Jul 2015 11:14 AM PDT Far from being selfish organisms whose sole purpose is to maximize their own reproduction, bacteria in large communities work for the greater good by resolving a social conflict among individuals to enhance the survival of their entire community.  |
| Posted: 22 Jul 2015 06:15 AM PDT Hair ice -- a type of ice shaped like fine, silky hairs that resembles white cotton candy -- grows on the rotten branches of certain trees when the weather conditions are just right, usually during humid winter nights when the air temperature drops slightly below the freezing point. Now scientists have identified the missing ingredient, a fungus, that gives hair ice its peculiar shape.  |
| Déjà-vu: New theory says dark matter acts like well-known particle Posted: 22 Jul 2015 05:11 AM PDT A new theory says dark matter acts remarkably similar to subatomic particles known to science since the 1930s.  |
| New evidence of cultural diversification between neighboring chimpanzee communities Posted: 22 Jul 2015 05:06 AM PDT Newly discovered tool-length 'subcultures' in our closest living relatives provide striking parallel with cultural differences observed between adjacent groups in human societies.  |
| Assembly of galaxies in the early universe witnessed for the first time Posted: 22 Jul 2015 05:06 AM PDT The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) has been used to detect the most distant clouds of star-forming gas yet found in normal galaxies in the early universe. The new observations allow astronomers to start to see how the first galaxies were built up and how they cleared the cosmic fog during the era of reionization. This is the first time that such galaxies are seen as more than just faint blobs.  |
