| Kitchen gadget inspires scientist to make more effective plastic electronics Posted: 27 Jan 2012 11:09 AM PST A kitchen gadget that vacuum seals food in plastic inspired a physicist to improve the performance of organic transistors for potential use in video displays.  |
| Making poisonous plants and seeds safe and palatable: Canola now, cannabis next? Posted: 27 Jan 2012 11:00 AM PST Every night millions of people go to bed hungry. New genetic technology can help us feed the world by making inedible seeds edible and tasty.  |
| Heart of silk: Scientists use silk from the tasar silkworm as a scaffold for heart tissue Posted: 27 Jan 2012 10:59 AM PST Damaged human heart muscle cannot be regenerated. Scar tissue grows in place of the damaged muscle cells. Scientists are seeking to restore complete cardiac function with the help of artificial cardiac tissue. They have succeeded in loading cardiac muscle cells onto a three-dimensional scaffold, created using the silk produced by a tropical silkworm.  |
| Body location plays part in scratching pleasure Posted: 27 Jan 2012 10:57 AM PST New research from a world-renowned itch expert shows that how good scratching an itch feels is related to the itch's location.  |
| Graphene supermaterial goes superpermeable: Can be used to distill alcohol Posted: 26 Jan 2012 07:06 AM PST Wonder material graphene has revealed another of its extraordinary properties Scientists have now found that it is superpermeable with respect to water. Graphene is one of the wonders of the science world, with the potential to create foldaway mobile phones, wallpaper-thin lighting panels and the next generation of aircraft. The new finding gives graphene's potential a most surprising dimension – graphene can also be used for distilling alcohol.  |
