| Sweat glands grown from newly identified stem cells Posted: 20 Jul 2012 05:01 PM PDT To date, few fundamentals have been known about the most common gland in the body, the sweat glands that are essential to controlling body temperature, allowing humans to live in the world's diverse climates. Now, in a tour de force, researchers have identified, in mice, the stem cell from which sweat glands initially develop as well as stem cells that regenerate adult sweat glands.  |
| Highly transparent solar cells for windows that generate electricity Posted: 20 Jul 2012 10:57 AM PDT Researchers have developed a new transparent solar cell that is an advance toward giving windows in homes and other buildings the ability to generate electricity while still allowing people to see outside.  |
| Stone Age tools help to streamline modern manufacturing Posted: 20 Jul 2012 07:35 AM PDT Innovative research uses laser microscopes to explore how stone tools were used in prehistory, and the process has helped streamline surface measurement techniques for modern manufacturers.  |
| Go-fast 'dimples' may be the secret to running success Posted: 20 Jul 2012 05:30 AM PDT In the run-up to London's 2012 Olympic Games, research revealed by a sports science expert has highlighted how the design of running shoes could boost an athlete's performance.  |
| 'Seeds' of massive black holes found at the center of the Milky Way galaxy Posted: 20 Jul 2012 05:30 AM PDT Many galaxies contain enormous amounts of molecular gas in small areas near their nuclei. Highly condensed molecular gas is a birthplace of lots of stars. Moreover, it is considered to closely relate to activities of galactic nuclei. Therefore, it is important to investigate the physical state and chemical properties of molecular gas at galaxy centers through observation. To obtain detailed observation data, it is best to survey the center of the Milky Way Galaxy in which our solar system exists.  |
