Brush-off: Researchers devise a hairbrush that's easy to clean Posted: 31 Aug 2015 03:29 PM PDT A researcher is working to make everyday objects easier to maintain so they last longer and don't end up in a landfill. His first such creation is an easy-to-clean hairbrush.

Scientists 'squeeze' light one particle at a time Posted: 31 Aug 2015 09:03 AM PDT A team of scientists have measured a bizarre effect in quantum physics, in which individual particles of light are said to have been 'squeezed' -- an achievement which at least one textbook had written off as hopeless.

DNA-guided 3-D printing of human tissue is unveiled Posted: 31 Aug 2015 08:26 AM PDT Researchers have developed a technique to build tiny models of human tissues using a process that turns human cells into a biological equivalent of LEGO bricks. These mini-tissues in a dish can be used to study how particular structural features of tissue affect normal growth or go awry in cancer.

Television viewing linked to higher injury risk in hostile people Posted: 31 Aug 2015 08:24 AM PDT People with hostile personality traits who watch more television than their peers may be at a greater risk for injury, potentially because they are more susceptible to the influence of television on violence and risk-taking behaviors, an analysis has discovered.

Dinosaur: Tail as old as time -- researchers trace ankylosaur's tail evolution Posted: 31 Aug 2015 07:15 AM PDT How did the ankylosaur get its tail club? According to research that traces the evolution of the ankylosaur's distinctive tail, the handle arrived first on the scene, and the knot at the end of the tail followed.

Tiny drops of 'perfect' fluid existed in the early universe Posted: 31 Aug 2015 05:57 AM PDT Surprisingly, smaller particles colliding with large nuclei appear to produce tiny droplets of quark-gluon plasma. Recent results show that the tiny droplets behave like a liquid not the expected gas. The results support the case that these small particles produce tiny drops of the primordial soup.
