| Strange behavior: New study exposes living cells to synthetic protein Posted: 27 Dec 2012 11:30 AM PST Scientists have fabricated an artificial protein in the laboratory and examined the surprising ways living cells respond to it. |
| Liquid crystal research may lead to creation of new materials that can be actively controlled Posted: 27 Dec 2012 08:08 AM PST Contributing geometric and topological analyses of micro-materials, mathematicians aided experimental physicists by successfully explaining the observed "beautiful and complex patterns revealed" in three-dimensional liquid crystal experiments. The work is expected to lead to creation of new materials that can be actively controlled. |
| Birdsong study pecks theory that music is uniquely human Posted: 27 Dec 2012 05:01 AM PST A bird listening to birdsong may experience some of the same emotions as a human listening to music, suggests a new study on white-throated sparrows. The new study found that the same neural reward system is activated in female birds in the breeding state that are listening to male birdsong, and in people listening to music that they like. |
| Virtual women reveal more skin, regardless of body proportions Posted: 26 Dec 2012 07:30 PM PST In the virtual world of Second Life, female avatars expose substantially more skin than males, independent of their virtual body proportions, according to new research. |
