| Cognitive offloading: How the Internet is increasingly taking over human memory Posted: 16 Aug 2016 05:50 AM PDT Our increasing reliance on the Internet and the ease of access to the vast resource available online is affecting our thought processes for problem solving, recall and learning. In a new article, researchers have found that 'cognitive offloading', or the tendency to rely on things like the Internet as an aide-mémoire, increases after each use. |
| Luna moth's long tail could confuse bat sonar through its twist Posted: 15 Aug 2016 04:01 PM PDT A detailed look at how sound waves bounce off a flying moth's body offers new clues for how its long, twisted tail might help it evade predatory bats. |
| Fifth force of nature? Light particle may be key to understanding dark matter in universe Posted: 15 Aug 2016 03:58 PM PDT Recent findings indicating the possible discovery of a previously unknown subatomic particle may be evidence of a fifth fundamental force of nature, according to new research by theoretical physicists. |
| Legions of nanorobots target cancerous tumors with precision Posted: 15 Aug 2016 10:49 AM PDT Researchers have just achieved a spectacular breakthrough in cancer research. They have developed new nanorobotic agents capable of navigating through the bloodstream to administer a drug with precision by specifically targeting the active cancerous cells of tumors. |
| Sewage sludge could make great sustainable fertilizer Posted: 15 Aug 2016 10:48 AM PDT Ever thought of putting sewage on your plants? Scientists say thermally conditioned sewage sludge serves as an excellent fertilizer to improve soil properties. The major advantage over commercial fertilizers? Sustainable re-use of essential and finite phosphorus resources. |
