| Posted: 18 Jun 2013 11:14 AM PDT Three-dimensional printing can now be used to print lithium-ion microbatteries the size of a grain of sand. The printed microbatteries could supply electricity to tiny devices in fields from medicine to communications, including many that have lingered on lab benches for lack of a battery small enough to fit the device, yet provide enough stored energy to power them. |
| Personality test finds some mouse lemurs shy, others bold Posted: 18 Jun 2013 11:14 AM PDT In the last 10 years the study of animal personality has gained ground with behavioral ecologists. Researchers have now found distinct personalities in the grey mouse lemur, the tiny, saucer-eyed primate native to the African island of Madagascar. |
| Small dam construction to reduce greenhouse emissions is causing ecosystem disruption Posted: 18 Jun 2013 09:51 AM PDT Researchers conclude in a new report that a global push for small hydropower projects, supported by various nations and also the Kyoto Protocol to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, may cause unanticipated and potentially significant losses of habitat and biodiversity. |
| Herbal extract boosts fruit fly lifespan by nearly 25 percent Posted: 18 Jun 2013 09:51 AM PDT The herbal extract of a yellow-flowered mountain plant long used for stress relief was found to increase the lifespan of fruit fly populations by an average of 24 percent, according to researchers. |
| Seismic gap outside of Istanbul: Is this where the expected Marmara earthquake will originate from? Posted: 18 Jun 2013 08:37 AM PDT Earthquake researchers have now identified a 30 kilometers long and ten kilometers deep area along the North Anatolian fault zone just south of Istanbul that could be the starting point for a strong earthquake. The group of seismologists say that this potential earthquake source is only 15 to 20 kilometers from the historic city center of Istanbul. |
| Chemical nanoengineering: Designing drugs controlled by light Posted: 18 Jun 2013 07:15 AM PDT A new breakthrough will help with the development of light-regulated therapeutic molecules. |
| IQ link to baby's weight gain in first month Posted: 18 Jun 2013 07:11 AM PDT New research shows that weight gain and increased head size in the first month of a baby's life is linked to a higher IQ at early school age. |
