| Shape-changing metamaterial developed using Kirigami technique Posted: 05 Aug 2016 05:54 AM PDT Engineers have developed a new shape-changing metamaterial using Kirigami, which is the ancient Japanese art of cutting and folding paper to obtain 3-D shapes. |
| Viewing video in slow motion makes action appear more intentional, new study finds Posted: 04 Aug 2016 02:23 PM PDT Watching a video of a harmful or violent act being committed can provide useful evidence of the circumstances surrounding the action. But new research shows that watching that same video in slow motion can often cause viewers to see something that may not be there: intentionality. |
| Toe-tapping to better health: Fidgeting helps prevent arterial dysfunction from sitting Posted: 04 Aug 2016 11:12 AM PDT Previous research has shown that sitting for an extended period of time at a computer or during a long airline flight reduces blood flow to the legs, which may contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease. Now, researchers have found that fidgeting while sitting can protect the arteries in legs and potentially help prevent arterial disease. |
| Researchers discover what makes mice freeze or flee Posted: 04 Aug 2016 11:05 AM PDT Mice are likely to freeze at the sight of small slow-moving shapes and flee from fast approaching ones, finds new research.This provides the first evidence that mice make instinctive choices based on vision alone, and could help inform future studies of behavior and brain function in mice. Knowing how mice respond to visual cues will enable researchers to conduct reproducible studies to see if this behavior is disrupted in mental and physical conditions. |
| Quick-destructing battery to power 'transient' devices Posted: 04 Aug 2016 10:58 AM PDT Scientists have developed a working battery that self-destructs in water. It's part of a field of study called 'transient electronics.' The battery project presented many challenges, including a complex structure and difficulties in fabrication. |
