| 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.  |
| Posted: 24 Jul 2012 10:16 AM PDT Despite advances in mining technology, mountain ranges prove notoriously difficult environments in the hunt for valuable minerals. Now a new three-dimensional mapping method is uncovering untold riches.  |
| Solar events blocking Martian satellite signal pinpointed Posted: 24 Jul 2012 10:14 AM PDT In August of 2005, the Mars Express spacecraft was dutifully sending back data on the stratigraphy of the upper regions of the Martian crust when its signal kept getting interrupted. Scientists wanted to know why. Now, researchers have provided a clear answer.  |
| Scientists create artificial mother of pearl Posted: 24 Jul 2012 08:50 AM PDT Mimicking the way mother of pearl is created in nature, scientists have for the first time synthesized the strong, iridescent coating found on the inside of some mollusks.  |
| Paving the way to a scalable device for quantum information processing Posted: 24 Jul 2012 08:50 AM PDT Researchers have demonstrated for the first time a monolithic 3D ion microtrap array which could be scaled up to handle several tens of ion-based quantum bits. The research shows how it is possible to realize this device embedded in a semiconductor chip, and demonstrates the device's ability to confine individual ions at the nanoscale.  |
| Posted: 24 Jul 2012 07:46 AM PDT Scientists have recently advanced the case for extracting carbon dioxide directly from the air using newly-developed adsorbent materials.  |
| 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.  |
