| For burying beetles, small males have more sex appeal, new research shows Posted: 08 Jan 2016 10:43 AM PST Female burying beetles are more attracted to small partners because they are less likely to get into fights, a new study has found. |
| Lifting a car with two phone books Posted: 08 Jan 2016 05:44 AM PST Astonishingly, it turns out to be practically impossible to separate two interleaved phone books by pulling on their spines, however much force is applied. It is even possible to suspend a car from them. |
| Gravitation under human control? Posted: 08 Jan 2016 05:39 AM PST Produce and detect gravitational fields at will using magnetic fields, control them for studying them, work with them to produce new technologies -- it sounds daring, but one physicist has proposed just that in a new article. If followed, this proposal could transform physics and shake up Einstein's theory of general relativity. |
| Roman toilets gave no clear health benefit, and Romanization actually spread parasites Posted: 08 Jan 2016 05:34 AM PST Intestinal parasites such as whipworm became increasingly common across Europe during the Roman Period, despite the apparent improvements the empire brought in sanitation technologies, archaeological evidence shows. |
| Study links life's milestones to a non-circadian biological rhythm in teeth Posted: 06 Jan 2016 06:37 PM PST Researchers, through metabolomic analysis of blood plasma of domestic pigs, have linked mammalian pace of growth and development variations to a non-circadian biological timing mechanism operating on multi-day (multidien) rhythms of growth and degradation. |
