| How Make-Up Makes Men Admire but Other Women Jealous Posted: 24 Jun 2016 12:51 PM PDT Men think women with make-up on are more 'prestigious', while women think women who wear make-up are more 'dominant,' a psychology study has found. |
| Scientists uncover route for finding out what makes individuals nice or nasty Posted: 24 Jun 2016 12:47 PM PDT A scientist has helped develop an innovative mathematical model for exploring why some individuals evolve to be genetically programmed to be nice, while others stay nasty. |
| Turning sewage sludge into concrete Posted: 24 Jun 2016 11:05 AM PDT Dried sewage sludge could be recycled by adding it to cement to make concrete, report researchers in Malaysia. Disposing sludge left over from treating sewage water is a major challenge for wastewater plants in Malaysia, and as the population climbs, the problem is only expected to worsen. |
| Small brain, astounding performance: How elephantnose fish switch between electrical, visual sense Posted: 24 Jun 2016 07:02 AM PDT The elephantnose fish explores objects in its surroundings by using its eyes or its electrical sense -- sometimes both together. Zoologists have now found out how complex the processing of these sensory impressions is. With its tiny brain, the fish achieves performance comparable to that of humans or mammals. |
| Nanoscientists develop the 'ultimate discovery tool' Posted: 23 Jun 2016 12:01 PM PDT The discovery power of the gene chip is coming to nanotechnology. Researchers have figured out how to make combinatorial libraries of nanoparticles in a very controlled way. Some of the nanoparticle compositions have never been observed before on Earth. The tool they are developing could be used to rapidly test millions to billions of different nanoparticles at one time to zero in on the best particle for a specific use. Applications include catalysts, light-harvesting materials, pharmaceuticals and optoelectronic devices. |
| Probing giant planets' dark hydrogen Posted: 23 Jun 2016 09:30 AM PDT Hydrogen is the most-abundant element in the universe, but there is still so much we have to learn about it. One of the biggest unknowns is its transformation under the extreme pressures and temperatures found in the interiors of giant planets, where it is squeezed until it becomes liquid metal, capable of conducting electricity. New work measures the conditions under which hydrogen undergoes this transition in the lab and finds an intermediate 'dark hydrogen' state. |
