| Moa's ark: Why the female giant moa was about twice the size of the male Posted: 09 Apr 2013 06:19 PM PDT The evolutionary reason for the massive difference in size between male and female giant moa -- the extinct giant birds of New Zealand -- has been revealed for the first time.  |
| Hangover remedy examined: Yak-a-mein soup, a.k.a., ‘Old Sober’ Posted: 09 Apr 2013 12:58 PM PDT One of the Crescent City's time-honored traditions -- a steaming bowl of Yak-a-mein Soup, a.k.a., "Old Sober" -- after a night of partying in the French Quarter actually does have a basis in scientific fact, according to new research.  |
| There is no single sexy chin, study shows Posted: 09 Apr 2013 11:51 AM PDT A new global study finds significant geographic differences in chin shapes.  |
| Der Steppenworm? Two new species differ from the elusive 'Mongolian Death Worm' Posted: 09 Apr 2013 08:15 AM PDT Scientists have discovered the first proper earthworms from the Outer Mongolian steppes. Although the two new species don't have the deadly biology of the legendary olgoi-khorkhoi, 'Mongolian Death Worm', they still intrigue with the abilities of their cousins to regenerate body parts when cut in two and survive within astonishing temperature ranges.  |
| Posted: 09 Apr 2013 07:59 AM PDT For the first time, researchers have been able to provide evidence of periodontitis, tooth decay and accident-related dental damage in the ice mummy 'Ötzi'. The latest scientific findings provide interesting information on the dietary patterns of the Neolithic Iceman and on the evolution of medically significant oral pathologies.  |
| 'Spooky action at a distance' aboard the International Space Station Posted: 09 Apr 2013 06:54 AM PDT Albert Einstein famously described quantum entanglement as "spooky action at distance"; however, up until now experiments that examine this peculiar aspect of physics have been limited to relatively small distances on Earth.  |
| How 'free will' is implemented in the brain and is it possible to intervene in the process? Posted: 09 Apr 2013 06:12 AM PDT Researchers have been able to identify the precise moment when a network of nerve cells (neurons) in the brain creates the signal to perform an action, before a person is even aware of deciding to take that action. Now they are building on this work to make initial attempts to interfere with consciously made decisions by decoding the pattern of brain activity in real time before an action is taken.  |
| Peel-and-stick thin film solar cells Posted: 09 Apr 2013 06:07 AM PDT Scientists have fabricated peel-and-stick thin film solar cells (TFSCs). The Si wafer is clean and reusable. Moreover, as the peeled-off TFSCs from the Si wafer are thin, light-weight, and flexible, it can be attached onto any form or shape of surface like a sticker.  |
