| How mold on space station flowers is helping get us to Mars Posted: 19 Jan 2016 11:30 AM PST What may seem like a failure in systems is actually an exceptional opportunity for scientists back on Earth to better understand how plants grow in microgravity. |
| First study of arthropods in US homes finds huge biodiversity Posted: 19 Jan 2016 04:36 AM PST The first study to evaluate the biodiversity of arthropods in US homes finds that humans share their houses with any of more than 500 different kinds of arthropods -- at least on a short-term basis. Arthropods are invertebrate animals with exoskeletons, segmented bodies and jointed limbs, such as insects, spiders, mites and centipedes. |
| Heightened ability to imagine odors linked to higher body weight Posted: 18 Jan 2016 10:51 AM PST The ability to vividly imagine the smell of popcorn, freshly baked cookies and even non-food odors is greater in obese adults, new research suggests. Vivid mental imagery is a key factor in stimulating and maintaining food cravings, which can be induced by the thought, smell and sight of food, say authors of a new report on the work. |
| Posted: 18 Jan 2016 10:49 AM PST The very first experimental observations of knots in quantum matter have just been reported. The scientists created knotted solitary waves, or knot solitons, in the quantum-mechanical field describing a gas of superfluid atoms, also known as a Bose--Einstein condensate. |
