| Whistled Turkish challenges notions about language and the brain Posted: 17 Aug 2015 10:19 AM PDT Generally speaking, language processing is a job for the brain's left hemisphere. That's true whether that language is spoken, written, or signed. But researchers have discovered an exception to this rule in a most remarkable form: whistled Turkish. |
| A thin ribbon of flexible electronics can monitor health, infrastructure Posted: 17 Aug 2015 05:54 AM PDT A new world of flexible, bendable, even stretchable electronics is emerging from research labs to address a wide range of potentially game-changing uses. Over the last few years, one team of chemists and materials scientists has begun exploring military applications in harsh environments for aircraft, explosive devices and even combatants themselves. |
| How to preserve fleeting digital information with DNA for future generations Posted: 17 Aug 2015 05:54 AM PDT Hand-written letters and old photos seem quaint in today's digital age. But there's one thing traditional media have over hard drives: longevity. Scientists are turning to nature's master of information storage to save data. One team demonstrated that synthetic DNA can last 2,000 years, and they're now working to index the system to make it easier to navigate. |
