| Light speed hurdle to invisibility cloak overcome by undergraduate Posted: 08 Aug 2011 05:25 PM PDT An undergraduate student has overcome a major hurdle in the development of invisibility cloaks by adding an optical device into their design that not only remains invisible itself, but also has the ability to slow down light.  |
| Tactile technology for video games guaranteed to send shivers down your spine Posted: 08 Aug 2011 12:24 PM PDT A new tactile technology called Surround Haptics makes it possible for video game players and film viewers to feel a wide variety of sensations, from the smoothness of a finger being drawn against skin to the jolt of a collision. The technology is based on rigorous psychophysical experiments and new models of tactile perception.  |
| Tohoku tsunami created icebergs in Antarctica Posted: 08 Aug 2011 10:25 AM PDT A NASA scientist and her colleagues were able to observe for the first time the power of an earthquake and tsunami to break off large icebergs a hemisphere away.  |
| 'Paranoia' about rivals alters insect mating behavior Posted: 08 Aug 2011 07:45 AM PDT Scientists have found that male fruit flies experience a type of "paranoia" in the presence of another male, which doubles the length of time they mate with a female, despite the female of the species only ever mating with one male.  |
| Researchers unravel the magic of flocks of starlings Posted: 08 Aug 2011 05:36 AM PDT Do fish swimming in schools or birds flying in flocks have a collective spirit that enables them to move as one? Are they animals with highly developed cognition, a complex instinct or a telepathic gift? A recent study conducted researchers in the Netherlands points in another direction. Mathematical models of self-organization show that complicated collective behavior can be the consequence of a few simple behavioral rules.  |
