| Buy coal? New analysis shows purchasing fossil fuel deposits best way to fight climate change Posted: 11 Apr 2012 01:16 PM PDT New research suggests that actually buying coal, oil and other dirty fossil fuel deposits still in the ground could be a far better way to fight climate change.  |
| Exotic manure is sure to lure the dung connoisseur Posted: 11 Apr 2012 01:16 PM PDT A two-year study involving more than 9,000 dung beetles evaluated their preferences for exotic herbivore, carnivore, and omnivore dung in the Great Plains of North America.  |
| Could 'advanced' dinosaurs rule other planets? Posted: 11 Apr 2012 09:05 AM PDT New scientific research raises the possibility that advanced versions of T. rex and other dinosaurs -- monstrous creatures with the intelligence and cunning of humans -- may be the life forms that evolved on other planets in the universe. "We would be better off not meeting them," concludes the study, which appears in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.  |
| Study refutes suggestion that men prefer the lady in red because of body association Posted: 11 Apr 2012 09:03 AM PDT The color red has long been associated with women's sexual attractiveness, but a new study has shown that this is not linked to any association in men's minds with the redness of women's genitalia.  |
| Grid-based computing to fight neurological disease Posted: 11 Apr 2012 05:41 AM PDT Grid computing, long used by physicists and astronomers to crunch masses of data quickly and efficiently, is making the leap into the world of biomedicine. Researchers have networked hundreds of computers to help find treatments for neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's. They are calling their system the 'Google for brain imaging.'  |
| Power without the cord for small devices Posted: 11 Apr 2012 05:40 AM PDT Cell phones and flashlights operate by battery without trouble. Yet because of the limited lifespan, battery power is not a feasible option for many applications in the fields of medicine or test engineering, such as implants or probes. Researchers have now developed a process that supplies these systems with power and without the power cord.  |
