| 'Ghost imaging' with atoms demonstrated Posted: 01 Dec 2016 08:55 AM PST A team of physicists in Australia has used a technique known as 'ghost imaging' to create an image of an object from atoms that never interact with it. This is the first time that ghost imaging has been achieved using atoms, although it has previously been demonstrated with light, leading to applications being developed for imaging and remote sensing through turbulent environments. |
| Predation on pollinating insects shaped the evolution of the orchid mantis Posted: 01 Dec 2016 08:48 AM PST Female orchid mantis adults mimic the appearance of flowers due to their ancestors' association with flowers to capitalize on an easy source of food, pollinating insects, researchers have discovered. |
| Earth's 'technosphere' now weighs 30 trillion tons Posted: 30 Nov 2016 05:50 AM PST The planet's technosphere now weighs some 30 trillion tons -- a mass of more than 50 kilos for every square meter of the Earth's surface, report investigators. Additionally, the numbers of technofossil 'species' now outnumber numbers of biotic species on planet Earth. The definition of the term technosphere includes physical human-made structures such as houses, factories, smartphones, computers and landfill. |
