| New method of finding planets scores its first discovery Posted: 13 May 2013 12:28 PM PDT Detecting alien worlds presents a significant challenge since they are small, faint, and close to their stars. The two most prolific techniques for finding exoplanets are radial velocity (looking for wobbling stars) and transits (looking for dimming stars). Astronomers have just discovered an exoplanet using a new method that relies on Einstein's special theory of relativity.  |
| Grammar errors? The brain detects them even when you are unaware Posted: 13 May 2013 10:15 AM PDT Your brain often works on autopilot when it comes to grammar. That theory has been around for years, but neuroscientists have now captured elusive hard evidence that people indeed detect and process grammatical errors with no awareness of doing so.  |
| Reversing paralysis with a restorative gel Posted: 13 May 2013 09:33 AM PDT Scientists have invented a method for repairing damaged peripheral nerves using a biodegradable implant along with a newly-developed gel that increases nerve growth and healing, ultimately restoring function to a torn or damaged nerve. The therapy is only a few years away from clinical use, say the researchers.  |
| Molecular basis of strawberry aroma Posted: 13 May 2013 08:09 AM PDT You know that summer is here when juicy red strawberries start to appear on the shelves. In Germany, this seasonal fruit has never been more popular: on average 3.5 kilos per head were consumed in 2012 -- a full kilogram more than ten years ago. Scientists decided to find out what gives strawberries their characteristic flavor.  |
| Solar panels as inexpensive as paint? Posted: 13 May 2013 07:36 AM PDT Researchers are helping develop a new generation of photovoltaic cells that produce more power and cost less to manufacture than what's available today.  |
