| New theory of secondary inflation expands options for avoiding an excess of dark matter Posted: 14 Jan 2016 06:34 PM PST A new theory suggests a shorter secondary inflationary period that could account for the amount of dark matter estimated to exist throughout the cosmos. |
| Posted: 14 Jan 2016 06:34 PM PST Researchers have studied how a multitude of electronic interactions govern the encounter between a molecule called porphine and copper and silver surfaces -- information that could one day be harnessed to make molecular building blocks self-assemble into nanodevices. |
| Is suicide a tragic variant of an evolutionarily adaptive set of behaviors? Posted: 14 Jan 2016 01:33 PM PST What do snapping shrimp, naked mole rats, ants, honeybees, and humans all have in common? They all share a similar colony-like organizational system that biologists have termed eusociality. Eusocial species have been remarkably successful in both surviving and thriving through the use of colony-level cooperation. One cooperative behavior used by all eusocial species is the self-sacrifice of individuals to defend the colony. |
| Oh, snap! What snapping shrimp sound patterns may tell us about reef ecosystems Posted: 14 Jan 2016 01:30 PM PST The tiny snapping shrimp's noisy habits could play a big role in reef ecology. |
