| Inspired by moth eyeballs, chemists develop gold coating that dims glare Posted: 04 Apr 2014 11:04 AM PDT All that's gold does not glitter, thanks to new work that could reduce glare from solar panels and electronic displays and dull dangerous glints on military weapons. |
| Posted: 04 Apr 2014 05:58 AM PDT G2, a doomed gas cloud, is edging closer to Sgr A*, the hungry supermassive black hole at the Milky Way's center. The closest approach between the two is predicted to occur any day now. Astrophysicists have been watching closely, and the data do not show enhanced emission in the X-rays. |

But biofouling animals are not limited to marine environments. A new paper estimates that the global management of freshwater mussels, clams, and other clinging animals costs $277 million US dollars annually. |
