| Posted: 27 Apr 2012 01:34 PM PDT The most transparent, lightweight and flexible material ever for conducting electricity has just been invented. Called GraphExeter, the material could revolutionize the creation of wearable electronic devices, such as clothing containing computers, phones and MP3 players.  |
| Cassini finds Saturn moon has planet-like qualities Posted: 27 Apr 2012 11:22 AM PDT Data from NASA's Cassini mission reveal Saturn's moon Phoebe has more planet-like qualities than previously thought. Scientists had their first close-up look at Phoebe when Cassini began exploring the Saturn system in 2004. Using data from multiple spacecraft instruments and a computer model of the moon's chemistry, geophysics and geology, scientists found Phoebe was a so-called planetesimal, or remnant planetary building block.  |
| Sperm viability greatly reduced in offspring of animals treated with common antibiotic tetracycline Posted: 27 Apr 2012 07:02 AM PDT Scientists report that male pseudoscorpions treated with the antibiotic tetracycline suffer significantly reduced sperm viability and pass this toxic effect on to their untreated sons. They suggest that a similar effect could occur in humans and other species.  |
| Scientists provide first large-scale estimate of reef shark losses in the Pacific Ocean Posted: 27 Apr 2012 07:01 AM PDT First study to provide estimates of reef shark losses in the Pacific Ocean are sobering. Researchers noted the enormous detrimental effect that humans have on reef sharks.  |
| Atomic clock comparison via data highways Posted: 27 Apr 2012 06:59 AM PDT In the future, optical fibers could connect all optical atomic clocks within Europe -- a milestone for various users of optical frequencies in research and industry.  |
| New particle discovered at CERN Posted: 27 Apr 2012 06:56 AM PDT Physicists have discovered a previously unknown particle composed of three quarks in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle accelerator. A new baryon could thus be detected for the first time at the LHC. The baryon known as Xi_b^* confirms fundamental assumptions of physics regarding the binding of quarks.  |
| Intense light prevents, treats heart attacks Posted: 25 Apr 2012 11:36 AM PDT There are lots of ways to treat a heart attack -- CPR, aspirin, clot-busters and more. Now researchers have found a new candidate: Intense light. The connection lies in the circadian rhythm, the body's clock that is linked to light and dark.  |
| Thinking in a foreign language helps economic decision-making Posted: 25 Apr 2012 06:39 AM PDT In a study with implications for businesspeople in a global economy, researchers have found that people make more rational decisions when they think through a problem in a non-native tongue. People are more likely to take favorable risks if they think in a foreign language, the new study showed.  |
