Браво "Любовь не горит"

"Psychological Physics" or "Human Physics"

"Психологическая физика" или "Человеческая физика"

Пытаюсь найти название для раздела физики, который бы развивал физические теории исходя из физической и психологической природы человека. Чтобы наука физика на самом деле развивала способности человека успешно существовать в этом мире через его понимание. Чтобы формулируемые законы физики были человеку интуитивно понятны и естественны. Прикинул названия "психологическая физика" или "человеческая физика", но эти названия уже закреплены за какими-то научными разделами.

Reversible saliva allows frogs to hang on to next meal Posted: 01 Feb 2017 08:06 AM PST A frog tongue's stickiness is caused by a reversible saliva in combination with a super soft tongue, new research shows. A frog's saliva is thick and sticky during prey capture, then turns thin and watery as prey is removed inside the mouth.

Transparent gel-based robots can catch and release live fish Posted: 01 Feb 2017 06:26 AM PST Engineers have fabricated transparent, gel-based robots that move when water is pumped in and out of them. The bots can perform a number of fast, forceful tasks, including kicking a ball underwater, and grabbing and releasing a live fish.

Scientists design electricity generator that mimics trees Posted: 31 Jan 2017 09:43 AM PST A prototype biomimetic tree has been built that generates electricity when wind blows through its artificial leaves. The researchers think such technology may help people charge household appliances without the need for large wind turbines.

How water can split into two liquids below zero Posted: 25 Jan 2017 09:07 AM PST Did you know that water can still remain liquid below zero degrees Celsius? It is called supercooled water and is present in refrigerators. At even smaller temperatures, supercooled water could exist as a cocktail of two distinct liquids. Unfortunately, the presence of ice often prevents us from observing this phenomenon. So physicists had the idea of replicating the tetrahedral shape of water molecules and thus removing the interference of ice formation.

NASA astronaut Scott Kelly returned home last March after nearly one year in space living on the International Space Station. His identical twin brother, Mark, remained on Earth.

Engineered intrinsically disordered proteins provide biomedical insights Posted: 31 Jan 2017 06:31 AM PST Biomedical researchers have engineered the first examples of biomimetic structures composed from a mysterious class of proteins that lack any sort of internal structure. Researchers reveal the ability to control the self-assembly and disassembly of these structures in an organized manner.

Boxer crabs acquire anemones by stealing from each other, and splitting them into clones Posted: 31 Jan 2017 04:51 AM PST Researchers have described a little known yet fascinating aspect of the behavior of Lybia crabs, a species which holds sea anemones in each of its claws (behavior which has earnt it the nickname 'boxer' or 'pom-pom' crab). In a series of experiments, they showed that when these crabs need an anemone, they will fight to steal one from another crab and then both crabs will split their anemone into two, creating identical clones.

Sound waves create whirlpools to round up tiny signs of disease Posted: 26 Jan 2017 08:36 AM PST Mechanical engineers have demonstrated a tiny whirlpool that can concentrate nanoparticles using nothing but sound. The innovation could gather proteins and other biological structures from blood or urine samples for future diagnostic devices.

Exceptionally preserved Jurassic sea life found in new fossil site Posted: 25 Jan 2017 11:58 AM PST A trove of exceptionally preserved Jurassic marine fossils discovered in Canada, rare for recording soft-bodied species that normally don't fossilize, is expanding scientists' view of the rich marine life of the period.

Researchers have now developed the first building blocks needed to construct complex quantum photonic circuits for quantum networks.

Controlling adhesive material remotely with light Posted: 25 Jan 2017 11:58 AM PST Adhesive mechanisms in the natural world have many advantages: they are always strongly adhesive -- and without any glues or residues. Scientists are researching how these mechanisms can be artificially created. An interdisciplinary research team has now succeeded in developing a bioinspired adhesive material that can be controlled remotely by using UV light. This way it is possible to precisely transport objects in a micro-range.

Insidious wasp gets ahead by tunneling through host's head Posted: 24 Jan 2017 04:36 PM PST A newly discovered wasp victimizes gall wasps by modifying their behavior and tunneling to freedom through their heads. It's a rare example of a parasite infecting a parasite, a process known as hypermanipulation, according to scientists.

Don't smile too big to be effective in online marketing ads, study funds Posted: 24 Jan 2017 08:13 AM PST A new study has found that the level of smile intensity in marketing photos influences how consumers perceive the marketer's competence and warmth, which can lead to different results depending on the context.

Synthetic nanoparticles achieve the complexity of protein molecules Posted: 23 Jan 2017 12:13 PM PST Chemists have demonstrated that synthetic nanoparticles can achieve the same level of structural complexity, hierarchy and accuracy as biomolecules. The study, published in Science, also reveals the atomic-level mechanisms behind nanoparticle self-assembly, providing an important window into how nanoparticles form. The findings could help guide the construction of nanoparticles, including those that can be used in the creation of computer chips, materials, drugs and drug delivery devices.

Autism symptoms improve after fecal transplant, small study finds Posted: 23 Jan 2017 06:46 AM PST Children with autism may benefit from fecal transplants -- a method of introducing donated healthy microbes into people with gastrointestinal disease to rebalance the gut. Behavioral symptoms of autism and gastrointestinal distress often go hand-in-hand, and both improved when a small group of children with the disorder underwent fecal transplant and subsequent treatment.

Psychological 'vaccine' could help immunize public against 'fake news' on climate change, study suggests Posted: 22 Jan 2017 06:35 PM PST Misinformation on climate change can psychologically cancel out the influence of accurate statements. However, if legitimate facts are delivered with an "inoculation" -- a warning dose of misinformation -- some of the positive influence is preserved, new research suggests.

• New theory may explain mystery of Fairy Circles of Namibia
• Raw materials for meatballs, falafel from mealworms and crickets

Ants find their way even when going backwards Posted: 19 Jan 2017 09:54 AM PST Ants can get their bearings whatever the orientation of their body, new research shows. Their brains may be smaller than the head of a pin, but ants are excellent navigators that use celestial and terrestrial cues to memorize their paths. To do so, they use several regions of the brain simultaneously, proving once again that the brain of insects is more complex than thought.

New theory may explain mystery of Fairy Circles of Namibia Posted: 19 Jan 2017 05:38 AM PST One of nature's greatest mysteries -- the 'Fairy Circles' of Namibia -- may have been unraveled by researchers. The study suggests that the interaction between termite engineering and the self-organization of vegetation could be jointly responsible for the phenomenon.

Raw materials for meatballs, falafel from mealworms and crickets Posted: 19 Jan 2017 05:35 AM PST A research team has developed food ingredients from mealworms and crickets which, due to their promising structure and flavor, have the potential to be used in the manufacture of foods such as meatballs and falafel. EU legislation will change in the coming years, and the farming of insects and their processing for consumption will become a business activity also in Europe, they say.

Classic video game system used to improve understanding of the brain Posted: 12 Jan 2017 11:12 AM PST The complexity of neural networks makes them difficult to analyze, but humanmade computing systems should be simpler to understand. Researchers have now applied widely used neuroscience approaches to analyze the classic games console Atari 2600 -- which runs the video game 'Donkey Kong' -- and found that such approaches do not meaningfully describe how the console's microprocessor really works.

Scientists tie the tightest knot ever achieved Posted: 12 Jan 2017 11:12 AM PST Scientists have produced the most tightly knotted physical structure ever known -- a scientific achievement which has the potential to create a new generation of advanced materials.

Bacteria recruit other species with long-range electrical signals Posted: 12 Jan 2017 11:12 AM PST The same biologists who recently found that bacteria resolve social conflicts within their communities and communicate with one another like neurons in the brain have discovered another human-like trait in these apparently not-so-simple, single-celled creatures.

Wearable biosensors can flag illness, Lyme disease, risk for diabetes; low airplane oxygen Posted: 12 Jan 2017 11:11 AM PST Can your smart watch detect when you are becoming sick? A new study indicates that this is possible. By following 60 people through their everyday lives, researchers found that smart watches and other personal biosensor devices can help flag when people have colds and even signal the onset of complex conditions like Lyme disease and diabetes.

Searching for planets in the Alpha Centauri system Posted: 12 Jan 2017 10:07 AM PST Astronomers are conducting a search for planets in the nearby star system Alpha Centauri. Such planets could be the targets for an eventual launch of miniature space probes by the Breakthrough Starshot initiative.

Scientists switch on predatory kill instinct in mice Posted: 12 Jan 2017 10:01 AM PST Researchers have isolated the brain circuitry that coordinates predatory hunting, according to a new study. One set of neurons in the amygdala, the brain's center of emotion and motivation, cues the animal to pursue prey. Another set signals the animal to use its jaw and neck muscles to bite and kill.

Viruses in genome important for our brain Posted: 12 Jan 2017 08:08 AM PST Over millions of years retroviruses have been incorporated into our human DNA, where they today make up almost 10 per cent of the total genome. A research group has now discovered a mechanism through which these retroviruses may have an impact on gene expression. This means that they may have played a significant role in the development of the human brain as well as in various neurological diseases.

• Do dogs of all ages respond equally to dog-directed speech?
• Paleontologists classify mysterious ancient cone-shaped sea creatures
• Our galaxy's black hole is spewing out planet-size 'spitballs'
• Stool samples from the Inuit of Nunavut: Study documents their 'gut microbiome'
• Unlikely couple: Liaison between a Sika deer and a Japanese snow monkey

Do dogs of all ages respond equally to dog-directed speech? Posted: 11 Jan 2017 12:18 PM PST People tend to talk to dogs as though they are human babies. A new study shows that people speak more slowly and with a higher tone to dogs of all ages -- both adults and puppies -- and that puppies respond most readily to this dog-directed speech.

Paleontologists classify mysterious ancient cone-shaped sea creatures Posted: 11 Jan 2017 10:28 AM PST One branch on the tree of life is heavier as a team of scientists has determined what a bizarre group of extinct cone-shaped animals actually are. Known as hyoliths, these marine creatures evolved over 530 million years ago and are among the first known to have external skeletons. Long believed to be molluscs, a new study shows a stronger relationship to brachiopods -- a group with a rich fossil record though few species living today.

Our galaxy's black hole is spewing out planet-size 'spitballs' Posted: 11 Jan 2017 08:08 AM PST Every few thousand years, an unlucky star wanders too close to the black hole at the center of the Milky Way. The black hole's powerful gravity rips the star apart, sending a long streamer of gas whipping outward. That would seem to be the end of the story, but it's not. New research shows that not only can the gas gather itself into planet-size objects, but those objects then are flung throughout the galaxy in a game of cosmic 'spitball.'

Stool samples from the Inuit of Nunavut: Study documents their 'gut microbiome' Posted: 10 Jan 2017 12:13 PM PST Since 2012, doctoral student Catherine Girard has collected stool samples from the Inuit of Nunavut. In a new study, she documents for the first time their 'gut microbiome' -- with surprising results.

Unlikely couple: Liaison between a Sika deer and a Japanese snow monkey Posted: 10 Jan 2017 07:16 AM PST Researchers report on the mating behavior observed between a Japanese macaque male (also known as snow monkey) and a female Sika deer. According to the report, the interaction observed in Japan involved sexual interaction without penetration, and also included mate guarding by the monkey.

Hubble detects 'exocomets' taking the plunge into a young star Posted: 06 Jan 2017 01:30 PM PST Interstellar forecast for a nearby star: Raining comets! NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has discovered comets plunging onto the star HD 172555, which is a youthful 23 million years old and resides 95 light-years from Earth.

Solar storms could spark soils at moon's poles Posted: 06 Jan 2017 12:09 PM PST Powerful solar storms can charge up the soil in frigid, permanently shadowed regions near the lunar poles, and may possibly produce 'sparks' that could vaporize and melt the soil, perhaps as much as meteoroid impacts, according to new research. This alteration may become evident when analyzing future samples from these regions that could hold the key to understanding the history of the moon and solar system.

The technological potential of earwax Posted: 06 Jan 2017 06:25 AM PST Scientists are seeing potential in some sort of biomimetic earwax adhesive surface that can be used in a ventilation system for robotics or for other kinds of machinery.

DNA nanotubes build a bridge between two molecular posts Posted: 05 Jan 2017 09:31 AM PST Researchers have coaxed DNA nanotubes to assemble themselves into bridge-like structures arched between two molecular landmarks on the surface of a lab dish.

• Worms have teenage ambivalence, too
• 'Zombie apocalypse' would wipe out humankind in just 100 days, students calculate
• Big-billed birds spend more time snuggling in against the cold, study shows

Worms have teenage ambivalence, too Posted: 05 Jan 2017 06:28 PM PST Scientists find that neurological changes mark transition from ambivalent adolescent to capable adult in the roundworm.

'Zombie apocalypse' would wipe out humankind in just 100 days, students calculate Posted: 05 Jan 2017 07:09 AM PST A student study suggests that one hundred days after zombie infection spread less than 300 people would remain alive globally. After one hundred days human survivors would be outnumbered a million to one by zombies. Students worked on the assumption that a zombie would have a 90% probability of turning others into the undead. However, factoring in humans killing zombies and human reproduction rates, world's population would eventually be able to recover.

Big-billed birds spend more time snuggling in against the cold, study shows Posted: 04 Jan 2017 07:23 PM PST Bigger isn't always better – at least not in the bird kingdom. New research finds that the larger a bird's bill the longer they spend trying to snuggle it in against the cold.

• Tiny laser created using nanoparticles
• Think chicken: Think intelligent, caring and complex

Nanowire 'inks' enable paper-based printable electronics Posted: 03 Jan 2017 07:26 PM PST Thin films made from silver nanowires are 4,000 times more conductive than films made from other nanoparticle shapes, like spheres or microflakes, says a new study. The results indicate that conductive 'inks' made from silver nanowires may create functioning electronic circuits without applying high temperatures, enabling printable electronics on heat-sensitive materials like paper or plastic.

How to 3-D print your own sonic tractor beam Posted: 03 Jan 2017 09:23 AM PST After demonstrating the first acoustically driven tractor beam platform, researchers develop a simpler, cheaper version using 3-D printable parts and open-source electronic components for the maker community.

Tiny laser created using nanoparticles Posted: 03 Jan 2017 09:23 AM PST Researchers have developed a plasmonic nanolaser that operates at visible light frequencies and uses so-called dark lattice modes.

Think chicken: Think intelligent, caring and complex Posted: 03 Jan 2017 06:19 AM PST Chickens are not as clueless or 'bird-brained' as people believe them to be. They have distinct personalities and can outmaneuver one another. They know their place in the pecking order, and can reason by deduction, which is an ability that humans develop by the age of seven. Chicken intelligence is therefore unnecessarily underestimated and overshadowed by other avian groups.
