| Edible stop signs? A few red chips in the stack cut snacking in half Posted: 28 May 2012 03:00 PM PDT Once you pop the top of a tube of potato chips, it can be hard to stop munching its contents. But researchers may have found a novel way to help: Add edible serving size markers that act as subconscious stop signs.  |
| People smile when they are frustrated, and the computer knows the difference Posted: 28 May 2012 12:27 PM PDT Do you smile when you're frustrated? Most people think they don't -- but they actually do, a new study has found. What's more, it turns out that computers programmed with the latest information from this research do a better job of differentiating smiles of delight and frustration than human observers do.  |
| Posted: 28 May 2012 07:02 AM PDT Scientists have created and imaged the smallest possible five-ringed structure -- about 100,000 times thinner than a human hair. Dubbed 'olympicene', the single molecule was brought to life in a picture thanks to a combination of clever synthetic chemistry and state-of-the-art imaging techniques.  |
| Velvet spiders emerge from underground in new cybertaxonomic monograph Posted: 23 May 2012 08:50 AM PDT An international team of researchers has produced a milestone work, detailing and expanding the knowledge of velvet spiders - an enigmatic, although not very well known family, with some peculiar (for spiders) social habits. The study was published in a special issue of the open access journal ZooKeys.  |
