| 240-million-year-old fossils indicate how dinosaurs grew from hatchlings to adults Posted: 05 Apr 2016 03:29 PM PDT Paleontologists have found that muscle-scarred fossil leg bones of one of the closest cousins of dinosaurs that lived approximately 240 million years ago can shine new light on a large unknown: How early dinosaurs grew from hatchlings to adults. The findings are surprising: dinosaurs and their close relatives had much more variation in growth patterns then ever expected, and this variation does not appear to be related to differences between males and females. |
| Move over, polar bear plunge: Ice swimming is next big extreme winter water sport Posted: 05 Apr 2016 02:56 PM PDT Hundreds of athletes around the globe are competing in one-mile ice swims. Performance and human physiological response in water 5 degrees Celsius or less has not been well-studied. Researchers will present new data on how age, gender and environmental factors such as wind chill affect ice swimming performance. |
| Touching a robot can elicit physiological arousal in humans Posted: 05 Apr 2016 06:30 AM PDT Touching a robot's intimate areas elicited physiological arousal in humans, a new study has found. The findings showed that when participants were instructed to touch the robot in areas that people usually do not touch, like the eyes or the buttocks, they were more emotionally aroused when compared to touching more accessible parts like the hands and neck. |
