| Posted: 19 Apr 2013 07:52 AM PDT Scientists have revealed how a bacterial enzyme has evolved an energy-efficient method to move long distances along DNA. The findings present further insight into the coupling of chemical and mechanical energy by a class of enzymes called helicases, a widely-distributed group of proteins, which in human cells are implicated in some cancers.  |
| Ocean acidification as a hearing aid for fish? Posted: 19 Apr 2013 05:00 AM PDT Scientists report stunning new insight into the potential effects of acidification on the sensory function of larval cobia. The study is the first to use micro-CT technology to examine otoliths while still inside the heads of the larval fish.  |
| Richard III may have gone through painful medical treatments to 'cure' his scoliosis Posted: 19 Apr 2013 04:59 AM PDT Richard III may have undergone painful medical treatments for his spinal curvature, according to new research.  |
| Battery low? Give your mobile some water Posted: 18 Apr 2013 06:48 AM PDT A power source for your mobile phone can now be as close as the nearest tap, stream, or even a puddle, with the world's first water-activated charging device.  |
| Posted: 18 Apr 2013 06:47 AM PDT If everyone in the crowd at a sports event or concert or even the players had wireless heart monitors fitted, commentators and those behind the sound desk could get a real measure of the sense of the collective excitement on each side and in the case of sport share the enthusiasm or for a concert adjust the set list to keep up the excitement. The same technology might also perhaps be used to help reduce panic should there be a fire or other scare at such events.  |
