| Hallucinogen may protect against intimate partner violence, researcher suggests Posted: 05 Feb 2016 10:55 AM PST Hallucinogen research gains traction, suggests class of substance could be therapeutic for problem behaviors, including intimate partner violence, according to one researcher. |
| From allergens to anodes: Pollen derived battery electrodes Posted: 05 Feb 2016 10:50 AM PST Pollens, the bane of allergy sufferers, could represent a boon for battery makers: Recent research has suggested their potential use as anodes in lithium-ion batteries. |
| Central Appalachia flatter due to mountaintop mining Posted: 05 Feb 2016 10:49 AM PST Forty years of mountaintop coal mining have made parts of Central Appalachia 60 percent flatter than they were before excavation, researchers say. This study, which compares pre- and post-mining topographic data in southern West Virginia, is the first to examine the large-scale impact of mountaintop mining on landscape topography and how the changes influence water quality. |
| New tarantula named after Johnny Cash among 14 spider species found in the United States Posted: 04 Feb 2016 02:54 PM PST The tarantula, named after the famous singer-songwriter Johnny Cash, is only one of fourteen spider species recently discovered in the southwestern United States. This new discovery nearly doubles the number of tarantula species known from the region. |
| Magnets levitate above a superconductor: New properties of superconductors discovered Posted: 04 Feb 2016 12:09 PM PST New findings may eventually lead to a theory of how superconductivity initiates at the atomic level, a key step in understanding how to harness the potential of materials that could provide lossless energy storage, levitating trains and ultra-fast supercomputers. |
