| Using static electricity, microrobots can land and stick to surfaces Posted: 19 May 2016 11:45 AM PDT Roboticists demonstrate that their flying microrobots, nicknamed the RoboBees, can now perch during flight to save energy - like bats, birds or butterflies. |
| Scientists create 'rewritable magnetic charge ice' Posted: 19 May 2016 11:45 AM PDT Scientists have developed a new material, called 'rewritable magnetic charge ice,' that permits an unprecedented degree of control over local magnetic fields and could pave the way for new computing technologies. |
| Benefit of organizational misconduct: Others in group may work harder, study says Posted: 19 May 2016 09:15 AM PDT Misconduct within an organization is generally seen as a predicament at best, a catastrophe at worst. But a new study shows that such misconduct, or "deviance," can prove beneficial by causing "non-deviant" members of the group to work harder in order to alleviate their own discomfort with the organization's tarnished image. |
| How is rattlesnake venom like fine wine? Both have regional varieties Posted: 19 May 2016 09:09 AM PDT If you're a rattlesnake, you want to bring the right weapon to a squirrel fight. And that venomous weapon varies from place to place, evolutionarily calibrated to overpower the local squirrels' defenses, according to new research. |
| New angles on visual cloaking of everyday objects Posted: 19 May 2016 09:07 AM PDT Using the same mathematical framework as the Rochester Cloak, researchers have been able to use flat screen displays to extend the range of angles that can be hidden from view. Their method lays out how cloaks of arbitrary shapes, that work from multiple viewpoints, may be practically realized in the near future using commercially available digital devices. |
| Ancient tsunami evidence on Mars reveals life potential Posted: 19 May 2016 07:17 AM PDT The geologic shape of what were once shorelines through Mars' northern plains convinces scientists that two large meteorites -- hitting the planet millions of years apart -- triggered a pair of mega-tsunamis. These gigantic waves forever scarred the Martian landscape and yielded evidence of cold, salty oceans conducive to sustaining life. |
| Switch and stick: Potential new adhesive can be turned on and off Posted: 19 May 2016 07:07 AM PDT The chemical element gallium could be used as a new reversible adhesive that allows its adhesive effect to be switched on and off with ease, report scientists. |
| Extraterrestrial oceans: Beneath the surface Posted: 19 May 2016 05:20 AM PDT Icy objects in our solar system have large oceans under their surfaces and here life could evolve and flourish, according to recent research. |
