| Fossil of 'early spider' discovered; 305 million years old Posted: 30 Mar 2016 09:42 PM PDT Researchers have discovered the fossil of a 305-million-year-old arachnid, which will help scientists to understand more about the early origins of modern-day spiders. |
| Second quantum revolution a reality with chip-based atomic physics Posted: 30 Mar 2016 03:44 PM PDT Physicists believe chip-based atomic physics holds promise to make the second quantum revolution -- the engineering of quantum matter with arbitrary precision -- a reality. With recent technological advances in fabrication and trapping, hybrid quantum systems are emerging as ideal platforms for a diverse range of studies in quantum control, quantum simulation and computing. |
| Indian dancing frog's secretive tadpoles unearthed from sand beds Posted: 30 Mar 2016 12:20 PM PDT A new tadpole that burrows through sand has been unearthed from the streambeds in the Western Ghats of India, according to a recent study. |
| Transparent wood could one day help brighten homes and buildings Posted: 30 Mar 2016 09:34 AM PDT When it comes to indoor lighting, nothing beats the sun's rays streaming in through windows. Soon, that natural light could be shining through walls, too. Scientists have developed transparent wood that could be used in building materials and could help home and building owners save money on their artificial lighting costs. Their material also could find application in solar cell windows. |
| Posted: 30 Mar 2016 09:34 AM PDT Behind the apparent randomness of a basketball game, a process of self-organization is actually taking place amid the teams. The interactions between team mates and opponents are constantly influencing each other while the game itself allows for creative behaviors to emerge. This phenomenon, detected by researchers after analyzing over 6,000 NBA games, resembles the way in which living things must continually evolve in order to survive in nature. |
| Personality influences how one reacts to email errors Posted: 30 Mar 2016 09:29 AM PDT When reading emails, do you become the 'grammar police?' You no who you aer: the person who thinks its her job too catch every typo or gramatical errur? |
| Ant antennae are a two-way communication system Posted: 30 Mar 2016 07:33 AM PDT Scientists have shone a new light into the complexities of ant communication, with the discovery that ants not only pick up information through their antennae, but also use them to convey social signals. |
| Wood windows? Transparent wood material used for buildings, solar cells Posted: 30 Mar 2016 05:57 AM PDT Windows and solar panels in the future could be made from one of the best — and cheapest — construction materials known: wood. Researchers have developed a new transparent wood material that's suitable for mass production. |
