| Research examines social benefits of getting into someone else's head Posted: 01 Jun 2016 12:19 PM PDT Do you often wonder what the person next to you is thinking? You might be high in mind-reading motivation (MRM), a newly coined term for the practice of observing and interpreting bits of social information, like whether the person next to you is rhythmically drumming his fingers because he's anxious or if someone is preoccupied because she's gazing off into the distance. |
| Male orb-weaving spiders cannibalized by females may be choosy about mating Posted: 01 Jun 2016 12:19 PM PDT In a colonial orb-weaving spider, Cyrtophora citricola, females often eat the males after mating, but it is often the males that choose their mates, according a new study. |
| Nanocars taken for a rough ride: Single-molecule cars tested in open air Posted: 01 Jun 2016 08:25 AM PDT Researchers have characterized how single-molecule nanocars move in open air. The research will help the kinetics of molecular machines in ambient conditions over time. |
| Belgian researchers check quality of chocolate with ultrasound Posted: 01 Jun 2016 08:13 AM PDT The quality of Belgium's famous chocolate largely depends on the crystals that form during the hardening of the chocolate. Researchers from KU Leuven, Belgium, have now developed a new and quicker way to check whether the cocoa butter is crystallizing correctly during the hardening process. The method could save the chocolate industry a lot of time and money. |
