| Scientists discover reasons behind snakes' 'shrinking heads' Posted: 19 Mar 2013 01:04 PM PDT Scientists have uncovered how some sea snakes have developed 'shrunken heads' -- or smaller physical features than their related species. |
| Face of the future rears its head: Digital talking head expresses human emotions on demand Posted: 19 Mar 2013 01:00 PM PDT Meet Zoe: a digital talking head which can express human emotions on demand with "unprecedented realism" and could herald a new era of human-computer interaction. |
| Laser-like photons signal major step towards quantum 'Internet' Posted: 19 Mar 2013 09:42 AM PDT The realization of quantum networks is one of the major challenges of modern physics. Now, new research shows how high-quality photons can be generated from "solid-state" chips, bringing us closer to the quantum "Internet." |
| Adoption and risk management in fish: how cichlids prevent their young from being eaten Posted: 19 Mar 2013 06:11 AM PDT For a variety of reasons, many humans choose to adopt children. More surprisingly, adoption is fairly widespread in the animal kingdom, even though it would seem to counteract the basic premise of Darwin's theory of evolution, which suggests that animals should raise as many of their own offspring as possible. Understanding the rationale for adoption has challenged theorists for generations. Scientists now describe a new approach to the problem. |
