| 'Spooky action at a distance' is really real Posted: 12 Nov 2015 09:36 AM PST Einstein was wrong about at least one thing: There are, in fact, 'spooky actions at a distance,' as now proven by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. |
| Eggs without yolk can hatch too Posted: 12 Nov 2015 09:32 AM PST Most animals reproduce by laying eggs. As the embryo develops, its feeds on the egg yolk. No egg yolk, no offspring, then? Not always. Biologists have discovered an exception to the rule: the eggs of nematodes (roundworms) can also hatch without egg yolk. |
| Power up: Cockroaches employ a 'force boost' to chew through tough materials Posted: 11 Nov 2015 02:07 PM PST New research indicates that cockroaches use a combination of fast and slow twitch muscle fibers to give their mandibles a 'force boost' that allows them to chew through tough materials. |
| A network of artificial neurons learns to use human language Posted: 11 Nov 2015 02:07 PM PST A group of researchers has developed a cognitive model, made up of two million interconnected artificial neurons, able to learn to communicate using human language starting from a state of 'tabula rasa', only through communication with a human interlocutor. This research sheds light on the neural processes that underlie the development of language. |
| New washer can accurately measure a bolt's clamping force Posted: 10 Nov 2015 11:51 AM PST A piezoelectric load-sensing washer currently under development provides a more accurate way to measure the clamping force exerted by the bolt it is on. |
