| New musical pacifier helps premature babies get healthy Posted: 21 May 2012 06:35 PM PDT The innovative PAL device uses musical lullabies to help infants quickly learn the muscle movements needed to suck, and ultimately feed.  |
| Morphing robots and shape-shifting sculptures: Origami-inspired design merges engineering, art Posted: 21 May 2012 01:41 PM PDT Researchers have shown how to create morphing robotic mechanisms and shape-shifting sculptures from a single sheet of paper in a method reminiscent of origami, the Japanese art of paper folding.  |
| What baboons can teach us about social status Posted: 21 May 2012 01:38 PM PDT High-ranking male baboons recover more quickly from injuries and are less likely to become ill than other males, biologists have found.  |
| Squid ink from Jurassic period identical to modern cuttlefish ink Posted: 21 May 2012 01:37 PM PDT Scientists have found that two ink sacs from 160-million-year-old giant squid fossils discovered 2 years ago in England contain the pigment melanin, and that it is essentially identical to the melanin found in the ink sacs of modern-day squid.  |
| Totally RAD: Bioengineers create rewritable digital data storage in DNA Posted: 21 May 2012 01:37 PM PDT Scientists have devised a method for repeatedly encoding, storing and erasing digital data within the DNA of living cells. In practical terms, they have devised the genetic equivalent of a binary digit -- a "bit" in data parlance.  |
| From lemons to lemonade: Using carbon dioxide to make carbon nitride Posted: 21 May 2012 08:56 AM PDT Scientists have discovered a chemical reaction that not only eats up the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, it creates some useful compounds to boot.  |
| Posted: 21 May 2012 08:56 AM PDT Blood tests convey vital medical information, but the sight of a needle often causes anxiety and results take time. A new device however, can reveal much the same information as a traditional blood test in real-time, simply by shining a light through the skin. This portable optical instrument is able to provide high-resolution images of blood coursing through veins without the need for harsh fluorescent dyes.  |
| Rare neurons linked to empathy and self-awareness discovered in monkey brains Posted: 21 May 2012 08:53 AM PDT Scientists have discovered brain cells in monkeys that may be linked to self-awareness and empathy in humans.  |
| Tea could aid Olympic cheating Posted: 21 May 2012 08:53 AM PDT Researchers have found that green and white teas could hide abnormal levels of testosterone in athletes.  |
| Cloak of invisibility: Engineers use plasmonics to create an invisible photodetector Posted: 21 May 2012 07:46 AM PDT Engineers have for the first time used "plasmonic cloaking" to create a device that can see without being seen -- an invisible machine that detects light. It is the first example of what the researchers describe as a new class of devices that controls the flow of light at the nanoscale to produce both optical and electronic functions.  |
| Posted: 21 May 2012 07:29 AM PDT The relativistic Hall effect describing objects rotating at speeds comparable with the speed of light has now been reported.  |
