| Sex at zero gravity: Changes in gravity affect the reproductive process in plants Posted: 13 Mar 2013 03:20 PM PDT Researchers found that changes in gravity affect the reproductive process in plants. Gravity modulates traffic on the intracellular "highways" that ensure the growth and functionality of the male reproductive organ in plants, the pollen tube.  |
| Posted: 13 Mar 2013 11:25 AM PDT Canada's 505 million year-old Burgess Shale fossil beds, located in Yoho National Park, have yielded yet another major scientific discovery -- this time with the unearthing of a strange phallus-shaped creature.  |
| Paraffin encapsulated in beach sand material as a new way to store heat from the sun Posted: 13 Mar 2013 08:24 AM PDT The search for sustainable new materials to store heat captured from the sun for release during the night has led scientists to a high-tech combination of paraffin wax and sand. They have now reported on the heat-storing capability of this microencapsulated sand.  |
| Doing business with a parrot: Self-control observed in cockatoos Posted: 13 Mar 2013 08:24 AM PDT Scientists have for the first time succeeded in observing self-control in cockatoos.  |
| Large plastic bags in unique experiment to study ocean acidification Posted: 13 Mar 2013 06:55 AM PDT To study the effects of ocean acidification, ten huge plastic containers called mesocosms are placed in the Gullmar Fjord in Sweden. The project is unique: mesocosms of this size have never been used for such a long period of time.  |
