| Posted: 10 Jan 2012 12:17 PM PST Scientists propose a "repair-and-go" approach to fixing malfunctions caused by small-surface cracks on any digital device or part before it hits store shelves.  |
| Gut microbe networks differ from norm in obese people, systems biology approach reveals Posted: 10 Jan 2012 12:17 PM PST People harbor more than 100 trillion microbes. These microbes live in various habitats on and within the human anatomy; the gut houses the densest population of all, containing hundreds of bacterial species. Scientists detected organizational shifts away from the normal lean state in the gut flora of people who were obese. The differences relate to how the microbial community interacts with the human gut environment, rather than variations in its core energy-use processes.  |
| Quick-cooking nanomaterials in microwave to make tomorrow's air conditioners Posted: 10 Jan 2012 11:04 AM PST Engineering researchers have developed a new method for creating advanced nanomaterials that could lead to highly efficient refrigerators and cooling systems requiring no refrigerants and no moving parts. The key ingredients for this innovation are a dash of nanoscale sulfur and a normal, everyday microwave oven.  |
| Reuse of municipal wastewater has potential to augment future drinking water supplies Posted: 10 Jan 2012 11:02 AM PST With recent advances in technology and design, treating municipal wastewater and reusing it for drinking water, irrigation, industry, and other applications could significantly increase the nation's total available water resources, particularly in coastal areas facing water shortages.  |
| Swallow a pill and let your doctor tour your insides Posted: 10 Jan 2012 08:44 AM PST Researchers have successfully tested a controllable endoscopic capsule, inspired by science fiction, that has the ability to "swim" through the body and could provide clinicians with unprecedented control when photographing the inside of the human body.  |
| Bacteria in the gut of autistic children different from non-autistic children Posted: 09 Jan 2012 06:18 PM PST The underlying reason autism is often associated with gastrointestinal problems is an unknown, but new results reveal that the guts of autistic children differ from other children in at least one important way: many children with autism harbor a type of bacteria in their guts that non-autistic children do not.  |
| Members of small monkey groups more likely to fight for their group Posted: 27 Dec 2011 06:07 PM PST Small monkey groups may win territorial disputes against larger groups because some members of larger, invading groups avoid aggressive encounters. Scientists show that individual monkeys that don't participate in conflicts prevent large groups from achieving their competitive potential.  |
