| New remote-controlled microrobots for medical operations Posted: 22 Jul 2016 07:41 AM PDT Scientists have developed a new method for building microrobots that could be used in the body to deliver drugs and perform other medical operations. |
| Blood of King Albert I identified after 80 years Posted: 22 Jul 2016 06:29 AM PDT The death of King Albert I of Belgium in 1934 -- officially a climbing accident -- still fuels speculation. Forensic geneticists have now compared DNA from blood found on the scene in 1934 to that of two distant relatives. Their analysis confirms that the blood really is that of Albert I. This conclusion is at odds with several conspiracy theories about the king's death. |
| Hey robot, shimmy like a centipede Posted: 22 Jul 2016 06:29 AM PDT Researchers have used computer simulations and robotics to uncover a surprising insight into the mechanics of locomotion, namely that taming instability -- a factor that might be a disadvantage -- is a key to the centipede's success. |
| Ancient feces provides earliest evidence of infectious disease being carried on Silk Road Posted: 21 Jul 2016 04:40 PM PDT Intestinal parasites as well as goods were carried by travelers on the iconic route, say researchers examining an ancient latrine. |
| We're lucky climate change didn't happen sooner Posted: 21 Jul 2016 11:34 AM PDT There is some consolation in how the fossil fuel-induced climatic changes we increasingly experience through droughts and storm surges are playing out. It could have happened sooner, and therefore already have been much worse. |
