| Thousands of invisibility cloaks trap a rainbow Posted: 25 May 2012 07:39 AM PDT Many people anticipating the creation of an invisibility cloak might be surprised to learn that a group of American researchers has created 25,000 individual cloaks.  |
| Gourmet butterflies speed north Posted: 24 May 2012 06:51 PM PDT A new study has shown how a butterfly has changed its diet, and consequently has sped northwards in response to climate change. Researchers found that warmer summers have allowed the Brown Argus butterfly to complete its life cycle by eating wild Geranium plants. Because the Geraniums are widespread in the British countryside, this change in diet has allowed the butterfly to expand its range in Britain at a surprisingly rapid rate. Over the past 20 years, the Brown Argus has spread northwards by around 79 kilometres and has become common in the countryside in much of southern England.  |
| Revolutionary chipset for high-speed wireless data transfer Posted: 24 May 2012 09:29 AM PDT Scientists have invented a revolutionary chipset for high-speed wireless data transfer, a new microchip that can transfer data the size of 80 MP3 song files (or 250 megabytes) wirelessly between mobile devices, 1000 times faster than Bluetooth.  |
| Unusual quantum effect discovered in earliest stages of photosynthesis Posted: 24 May 2012 06:29 AM PDT Quantum physics and plant biology seem like two branches of science that could not be more different, but surprisingly they may in fact be intimately tied. Scientists have discovered an unusual quantum effect in the earliest stages of photosynthesis.  |
