| Posted: 18 Jun 2013 11:14 AM PDT Three-dimensional printing can now be used to print lithium-ion microbatteries the size of a grain of sand. The printed microbatteries could supply electricity to tiny devices in fields from medicine to communications, including many that have lingered on lab benches for lack of a battery small enough to fit the device, yet provide enough stored energy to power them.  |
| Personality test finds some mouse lemurs shy, others bold Posted: 18 Jun 2013 11:14 AM PDT In the last 10 years the study of animal personality has gained ground with behavioral ecologists. Researchers have now found distinct personalities in the grey mouse lemur, the tiny, saucer-eyed primate native to the African island of Madagascar.  |
| Fiber-optic pen helps see inside brains of children with learning disabilities Posted: 18 Jun 2013 10:18 AM PDT For less than $100, researchers have designed a computer-interfaced drawing pad that helps scientists see inside the brains of children with learning disabilities while they read and write.  |
| It's the way you tell em': Study discovers how the brain controls accents and impersonations Posted: 18 Jun 2013 08:38 AM PDT A study has identified the brain regions and interactions involved in impersonations and accents.  |
| A microphone that listens with light: microphones have hyper-acute hearing and a sense of direction Posted: 18 Jun 2013 07:16 AM PDT A new sensor will help to make microphones hypersensitive: "Think of traditional videoconference equipment. Several people are sitting around the table, but the microphone has been placed where its sound reception is less than optimal. With technology of this sort, a microphone will be able to "see" where the sound comes from, pick up the voice of the person speaking, and filter out other sources of noise in the room," explains one of the researchers.  |
| Chemical nanoengineering: Designing drugs controlled by light Posted: 18 Jun 2013 07:15 AM PDT A new breakthrough will help with the development of light-regulated therapeutic molecules.  |
