| 2-D electronics take a step forward: Semiconducting films for atom-thick circuits Posted: 10 Jun 2013 10:31 AM PDT Scientists have created single-layer films of molybdenum disulfide, a semiconductor and an important component in the development of two-dimensional electronics. |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2013 10:31 AM PDT Chemists have demonstrated a sensor technology that could significantly simplify the diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes through breath analysis alone. |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2013 10:30 AM PDT Perennial plants flower only when they have reached a certain age and been subjected to the cold. These two circumstances prevent the plant from starting to flower during winter. Botanists have now discovered that the Alpine rock cress determines its age based on the quantity of a short ribonucleic acid. |
| People are overly confident in their own knowledge, despite errors Posted: 10 Jun 2013 08:30 AM PDT Overprecision -- excessive confidence in the accuracy of our beliefs -- can have profound consequences, inflating investors' valuation of their investments, leading physicians to gravitate too quickly to a diagnosis, even making people intolerant of dissenting views. Now, new research confirms that overprecision is a common and robust form of overconfidence driven, at least in part, by excessive certainty in the accuracy of our judgments. |
| Mysterious monument found beneath the Sea of Galilee Posted: 10 Jun 2013 08:30 AM PDT Scientists have discovered a mysterious monument beneath the waves of the Sea of Galilee. The site resembles early burial sites in Europe and was likely built in the early Bronze Age. |
| British butterfly desperate for warm weather this summer Posted: 10 Jun 2013 06:51 AM PDT Butterflies are extremely sensitive to changes in temperature, and new research has revealed that when summer weather turns bad the silver-spotted skipper battles for survival. |
| Ötzi the Iceman's dark secrets: Protein investigation supports brain injury theory Posted: 10 Jun 2013 05:41 AM PDT After decoding the Iceman's genetic make-up, a research team has now made another major breakthrough in mummy research: Using just a pinhead-sized sample of brain tissue from the world-famous glacier corpse, the team was able to extract and analyze proteins to further support the theory that Ötzi suffered some form of brain damage in the final moments of his life. |
