| Lost in translocation? How bird song could help save species Posted: 21 May 2013 08:00 PM PDT Translocation – or moving animals to safer places – is a vital tool for saving species from extinction. Many factors influence the success of these new populations, including habitat quality, predators, capture and release techniques, the number and sex of individuals, and their genetic diversity. Now new research, the first of its kind suggests bird song could also be important. |
| Posted: 21 May 2013 12:26 PM PDT The mighty T. rex may have thrashed its massive head from side to side to dismember prey, but a new study shows that its smaller cousin Allosaurus was a more dexterous hunter and tugged at prey more like a modern-day falcon. |
| Ethicists' behavior not more moral Posted: 21 May 2013 12:25 PM PDT Do ethicists engage in better moral behavior than other professors? The answer is no. Nor are they more likely than nonethicists to act according to values they espouse. |
| Scientists uncover how grapefruits provide a secret weapon in medical drug delivery Posted: 21 May 2013 10:22 AM PDT Researchers have uncovered how to create nanoparticles using natural lipids derived from grapefruit, and have discovered how to use them as drug delivery vehicles. |
| New method for tailoring optical processors Posted: 21 May 2013 09:16 AM PDT Physicists and engineers have unveiled a robust new method for arranging metal nanoparticles in geometric patterns that can act as optical processors that transform incoming light signals into output of a different color. |
| Glaucoma drug can cause droopy eyelids Posted: 21 May 2013 09:15 AM PDT Prostaglandin analogues (PGAs) are often the first line of treatment for people with glaucoma. PGAs have long been associated with blurred vision, dryness, changes in eye color and other side effects. Now a new study has found that these drugs also cause upper and lower eyelid drooping and other issues that can interfere with vision. |
| Posted: 21 May 2013 07:54 AM PDT A novel curved artificial compound eye (CurvACE) has been created. Compared to single-lens eyes, compound eyes offer lower resolution, but significantly larger fields of view, thin package, and with negligible distortion. |
| Soft matter offers new ways to study how materials arrange Posted: 21 May 2013 07:52 AM PDT A fried breakfast food popular in Spain provided the inspiration for the development of doughnut-shaped droplets that may provide scientists with a new approach for studying fundamental issues in physics, mathematics and materials. |
