| Posted: 13 Jun 2016 12:34 PM PDT The first study to systematically measure the number of neurons in the brains of birds has found that they have significantly more neurons packed into their small brains than are stuffed into mammalian and even primate brains of the same mass. |
| Cereal science: How scientists inverted the Cheerios effect Posted: 13 Jun 2016 12:34 PM PDT Liquid drops on soft solid surfaces interact by an 'inverted Cheerios effect', which can be tweaked so that the droplets move towards or away from each other, according to an international group of scientists. |
| Light-matter interplay probed: Physicists achieve quantum Hall state with light Posted: 13 Jun 2016 11:47 AM PDT Harnessing the shared wave nature of light and matter, researchers have used light to explore some of the most intriguing questions in the quantum mechanics of materials. |
| New planet is largest discovered that orbits two suns Posted: 13 Jun 2016 11:43 AM PDT If you cast your eyes toward the constellation Cygnus, you'll be looking in the direction of the largest planet yet discovered around a double-star system. It's too faint to see with the naked eye, but astronomers have now identified the new planet, Kepler-1647b. |
| Scientists amplify light using sound on a silicon chip Posted: 13 Jun 2016 10:08 AM PDT Scientists have found a way to greatly boost the intensity of light waves on a silicon microchip using the power of sound. In a new article, a research team describes a new waveguide system that harnesses the ability to precisely control the interaction of light and sound waves. |
| Nano 'hall of mirrors' causes molecules to mix with light Posted: 13 Jun 2016 09:22 AM PDT Researchers have successfully used quantum states to mix a molecule with light at room temperature, which will aid in the exploration of quantum technologies and provide new ways to manipulate the physical and chemical properties of matter. |
| Children less likely to trust ugly people Posted: 13 Jun 2016 08:16 AM PDT Is beauty only skin deep? Children don't seem to think so, like adults and babies, children think the uglier you are, the less trustworthy you are. |
