| Device may inject a variety of drugs without using needles Posted: 24 May 2012 10:47 AM PDT A new device delivers a tiny, high-pressure jet of medicine through the skin without the use of a hypodermic needle.  |
| Beam Me Up: 'Tractor beams' of light pull small objects towards them Posted: 24 May 2012 10:45 AM PDT 'Tractor beams' of light that pull objects towards them are no longer science fiction. Scientists have now demonstrated how a tractor beam can in fact be realized on a small scale.  |
| Robots will quickly recognize and respond to human gestures, with new algorithms Posted: 24 May 2012 10:45 AM PDT New intelligent algorithms could help robots to quickly recognize and respond to human gestures. Researchers have created a computer program which recognizes human gestures quickly and accurately, and requires very little training.  |
| Nuisance seaweed found to produce compounds with biomedical potential Posted: 24 May 2012 09:32 AM PDT A seaweed considered a threat to the healthy growth of coral reefs in Hawaii may possess the ability to produce substances that could one day treat human diseases, a new study has revealed.  |
| Synchronized brains: Feeling strong emotions makes people's brains 'tick together' Posted: 24 May 2012 08:23 AM PDT Human emotions are highly contagious. Seeing others' emotional expressions such as smiles triggers often the corresponding emotional response in the observer. Researchers have now found that feeling strong emotions makes different individuals' brain activity literally synchronous.  |
| Invasive species underwater: Deep sea animals stowaway on submarines and reach new territory Posted: 24 May 2012 06:28 AM PDT Marine scientists studying life around deep-sea vents have discovered that some hardy species can survive the extreme change in pressure that occurs when a research submersible rises to the surface. Scientists reveal how a species can be inadvertently carried by submersibles to new areas, with potentially damaging effects on marine ecosystems.  |
