| Fetuses yawn in the womb, according to new research Posted: 21 Nov 2012 06:03 PM PST We know that unborn babies hiccup, swallow and stretch in the womb but new observational research concludes that they also yawn.  |
| 9.2-million-year-old rhino skull preserved by instant 'cooking to death' in volcanic ash Posted: 21 Nov 2012 06:02 PM PST Less than two percent of the earth's fossils are preserved in volcanic rock, but researchers have identified a new one: the skull of a rhino that perished in a volcanic eruption 9.2 million years ago.  |
| Cartilage made easy with novel hybrid printer Posted: 21 Nov 2012 06:01 PM PST The printing of three-dimensional tissue has taken a major step forward with the creation of a novel hybrid printer that simplifies the process of creating implantable cartilage.  |
| Gateway enzyme for chemicals from catnip to cancer drug discovered Posted: 21 Nov 2012 11:56 AM PST Scientists have discovered an enzyme used in nature to make powerful chemicals from catnip to a cancer drug, vinblastine. The discovery opens up the prospect of producing these chemicals cheaply and efficiently.  |
| New structures self-assemble in synchronized dance Posted: 21 Nov 2012 11:56 AM PST With self-assembly guiding the steps and synchronization providing the rhythm, a new class of materials forms dynamic, moving structures in an intricate dance. Researchers have demonstrated tiny spheres that synchronize their movements as they self-assemble into a spinning microtube. Such in-motion structures, a blending of mathematics and materials science, could open a new class of technologies with applications in medicine, chemistry and engineering.  |
| Darkened fjord waters mean fewer fish, more jellyfish Posted: 19 Nov 2012 06:38 AM PST The seawater in the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, and Norway's coastal waters and fjords is gradually getting darker. Researchers are observing signs similar to those from overproduction of organic compounds. The result may be fewer marine areas with fish, and more jellyfish.  |
