| Inspiration from a porcupine's quills Posted: 10 Dec 2012 01:08 PM PST Researchers hope to exploit the porcupine quill's unique properties to develop new types of adhesives, needles and other medical devices. |
| Asteroid that killed the dinosaurs also wiped out the 'Obamadon' Posted: 10 Dec 2012 01:08 PM PST The asteroid collision widely thought to have killed the dinosaurs also led to extreme devastation among snake and lizard species, according to new research -- including the extinction of a newly identified lizard named Obamadon gracilis. |
| Do we live in a computer simulation run by our descendants? Researchers say idea can be tested Posted: 10 Dec 2012 10:27 AM PST A decade ago, a British philosopher put forth the possibility that our universe might be a computer simulation run by our descendants. Now, physicists have come up with a potential test to see if the idea holds water. |
| Ultrasound can now monitor the health of your car engine Posted: 10 Dec 2012 08:23 AM PST A system that uses ultrasound technology to look inside car engines could lead to more efficient engines -- and huge fuel savings for motorists. |
| Electricity from water mains: Inline hydropower system generates power from water pipelines Posted: 10 Dec 2012 05:04 AM PST A novel inline hydropower system generates power from water pipelines. In full operation, an array of in-pipe turbines is expected to save 700kWh of electricity and reduce 560 kg of carbon dioxide emission per year. |
