| Tiny amounts of alcohol dramatically extend a worm's life, but why? Posted: 20 Jan 2012 03:45 PM PST Minuscule amounts of ethanol can at least double the life span of a tiny worm used as a model for aging studies, biochemists report. "This finding floored us; it's shocking" said the senior author of the study.  |
| Carbon dioxide is 'driving fish crazy' Posted: 20 Jan 2012 03:42 PM PST Rising human carbon dioxide emissions may be affecting the brains and central nervous system of sea fishes with serious consequences for their survival, an international scientific team has found. Carbon dioxide concentrations predicted to occur in the ocean by the end of this century will interfere with fishes' ability to hear, smell, turn and evade predators, says a professor.  |
| Rare Miller's grizzled langur rediscovered in Borneo Posted: 20 Jan 2012 03:30 PM PST Scientists have found one of the rarest and least known primates in Borneo, Miller's Grizzled Langur, a species which was believed to be extinct or on the verge of extinction. The findings confirms the continued existence of this endangered monkey and reveals that it lives in an area where it was previously not known to exist.  |
| T-rays technology could help develop Star Trek-style hand-held medical scanners Posted: 20 Jan 2012 03:30 PM PST Scientists have developed a new way to create Terahertz waves (T-rays) that may one day lead to biomedical detective devices similar to the 'tricorder' scanner used in Star Trek.  |
