| Exoplanets' complex orbital structure points to planetary migration in solar systems Posted: 11 May 2016 11:23 AM PDT The four planets of the Kepler-223 star system seem to have little in common with the planets of Earth's own solar system. And yet a new study shows that the Kepler-223 system is trapped in an orbital configuration that Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune may have broken from in the early history of the solar system. |
| Fox squirrels' 'tell-tail' signs of frustration Posted: 11 May 2016 10:32 AM PDT Fox squirrels flick their tails when they can't get a cherished nut in much the same way that humans kick a vending machine that fails to deliver the anticipated soda or candy bar, according to new research. |
| Paper gets 'smart' with drawn-on, stenciled sensor tags Posted: 11 May 2016 10:31 AM PDT Researchers have created ways to give a piece of paper sensing capabilities that allows it to respond to gesture commands and connect to the digital world. |
| Altering a robot's gender and social roles may be a screen change away Posted: 11 May 2016 10:17 AM PDT Robots can keep their parts and still change their gender, according to researchers, who noted that the arrival of robots with screens has made it easier to assign distinct personalities. |
| Twin study finds that gut microbiomes run in families Posted: 11 May 2016 10:17 AM PDT A genome-wide association analysis of over 1,000 twins in the UK supports that some parts of our microbiomes are inherited and shaped -- not through a spread of microbes from parent to child, but through our genes. The results, reveal new examples of heritable bacterial species including those related to diet preference, metabolism, and immune defense. |
| Posted: 11 May 2016 07:26 AM PDT The sun's outer layer, the corona, constantly streams out charged particles called the solar wind. But it's not the kind of wind you can fly a kite in. Even the slowest solar wind can reach speeds 700,000 mph. And while scientists know a great deal about solar wind, the source and causes of the slow wind remain mysterious. |
