| Spider-Man adventure similar to actual science Posted: 24 Jul 2012 02:12 PM PDT A regenerative medicine researcher says that the plot of latest Spider-Man adventure isn't as far-fetched as people might think.  |

| New recruits in the fight against disease: Anti-bacterial 'killing machine' deciphered Posted: 24 Jul 2012 07:46 AM PDT Scientists have discovered the structure and operating procedures of a powerful anti-bacterial killing machine that could become an alternative to antibiotics.  |
| Rodents seem depressed from dim light at night, but it can be reversed Posted: 24 Jul 2012 07:44 AM PDT Chronic exposure to dim light at night can lead to depressive symptoms in rodents -- but these negative effects can be reversed simply by returning to a standard light-dark cycle, a new study suggests.  |
| Posted: 24 Jul 2012 07:43 AM PDT It is believed that our bodies are fixed and unchangeable except through the slow process of growing and ageing. Over recent years there have been research results that defy this common sense view - it seems that the human brain will quickly accept gross changes in the body - incorporating external objects such as a rubber arm into the body representation, and even whole bodies seen in virtual reality.  |
| Like an orchestra without a conductor: Technology achieves synchronicity by itself Posted: 24 Jul 2012 07:41 AM PDT Is it possible to sound all the church bells across the country at precisely the same time, without one central agent setting the rhythm? Indeed, it is. Future technologies, such as decentralized control mechanisms for motor vehicle traffic or robot swarms, will increasingly come to rely on the ability to function in a similarly synchronous manner. Researchers have now developed a new method of self-organizing synchronization and have delivered mathematical proof of the systems' guaranteed ability to achieve synchrony under their own power.  |
