| Cats seem to grasp the laws of physics Posted: 14 Jun 2016 08:44 AM PDT Cats understand the principle of cause and effect as well as some elements of physics. Combining these abilities with their keen sense of hearing, they can predict where possible prey hides. |
| Drum beats from a one atom thick graphite membrane Posted: 14 Jun 2016 07:02 AM PDT Researchers demonstrate the ability to electrically manipulate the vibrations of a drum, of nanometer scale thickness, a million times smaller than that of human hair. These drums vibrate a whopping 100 million times a second -- which cannot be heard by the ear but can be sensed using small circuits. This can be used to make new kinds of mass sensors. Also, new aspects of fundamental physics could be probed in the future. |
| New equation reveals how other people's fortunes affect our happiness Posted: 14 Jun 2016 05:31 AM PDT A new equation, showing how our happiness depends not only on what happens to us but also how this compares to other people, has been developed by researchers. The team developed an equation to predict happiness in 2014, highlighting the importance of expectations, and the new updated equation also takes into account other people's fortunes. |
