| New fabric uses sun and wind to power devices Posted: 13 Sep 2016 11:15 AM PDT Fabrics that can generate electricity from physical movement have been in the works for a few years. Now researchers have taken the next step, developing a fabric that can simultaneously harvest energy from both sunshine and motion. |
| Link between walk, aggression discovered Posted: 13 Sep 2016 09:53 AM PDT The way people walk can give clues to how aggressive they are, a new exploratory study has found. The work found that the exaggerated movement of both the upper and lower body indicated aggression. |
| Plum-sized strawberry delivers huge dose of intense flavor Posted: 13 Sep 2016 09:06 AM PDT A new strawberry variety concentrates intense flavor in a berry big enough to fill the palm of your hand. |
| Brain-sensing technology allows typing at 12 words per minute Posted: 12 Sep 2016 04:29 PM PDT It does not take an infinite number of monkeys to type a passage of Shakespeare. Instead, it takes a single monkey equipped with brain-sensing technology -- and a cheat sheet. Technology for reading signals directly from the brain could provide a way for people with movement disabilities to communicate. |
| Posted: 12 Sep 2016 02:38 PM PDT Scientists can explain why the universe has enough energy to become transparent. The study marks the first quantitative study of how the gas content within galaxies scales with the amount of interstellar dust. |
| Trees recognize roe deer by saliva Posted: 12 Sep 2016 10:27 AM PDT Trees are able to distinguish whether one of their buds or shoots has been randomly torn off or has been eaten by a roe deer. In the case of roe deer browsing, they activate corresponding defense mechanisms. |
| Semiconducting inorganic double helix Posted: 12 Sep 2016 09:26 AM PDT It is the double helix, with its stable and flexible structure of genetic information, that made life on Earth possible in the first place. Now a team has discovered a double helix structure in an inorganic material. The material comprising tin, iodine and phosphorus is a semiconductor with extraordinary optical and electronic properties, as well as extreme mechanical flexibility. |
| Electron beam microscope directly writes nanoscale features in liquid with metal ink Posted: 09 Sep 2016 10:05 AM PDT Scientists have harnessed a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) to directly write tiny patterns in metallic 'ink,' forming features in liquid that are finer than half the width of a human hair. The automated process is controlled by weaving a STEM instrument's electron beam through a liquid-filled cell to spur deposition of metal onto a silicon microchip. |
| Drones for butterfly conservation Posted: 09 Sep 2016 08:22 AM PDT High-resolution aerial photographs provide information that is both up-to-date and tailored for the task at hand -- information that could previously only be obtained by observations in the field and only for a limited spatial area. For the very first time, a team of scientists has used drones to predict suitable microhabitats for the larvae of endangered butterfly species (larval habitats). |
| How do shark teeth bite? Reciprocating saw, glue provide answers Posted: 08 Sep 2016 01:49 PM PDT A recent study sought to understand why shark teeth are shaped differently and what biological advantages various shapes have by testing their performance under realistic conditions. |
