| Posted: 26 Jun 2013 03:39 PM PDT New research suggests that bits of genetic material from plants eaten by mice can NOT enter the bloodstream intact as previous research from another institution had indicated.  |
| A 700,000-year-old horse gets its genome sequenced Posted: 26 Jun 2013 11:29 AM PDT Scientists have just sequenced the oldest genome from a prehistoric creature. They have done so by sequencing and analyzing short pieces of DNA molecules preserved in bone-remnants from a horse that had been kept frozen for the last 700,000 years in the permafrost of Yukon, Canada.  |
| Posted: 26 Jun 2013 08:36 AM PDT Bullfinches learn from human teachers to sing melodies accurately, according to a new study. The analysis of human melody singing in bullfinches gives insights into the songbirds' brain processes.  |
| You have the right to remain silent and look guilty Posted: 26 Jun 2013 08:34 AM PDT Saying 'no comment' in a police interview can make you look guilty, according to a study from the United Kingdom.  |
| Cutlery: Do size, weight, shape and color matter? Posted: 26 Jun 2013 08:34 AM PDT The appearance of cutlery can affect perception of a food's taste, a new study finds. Food tastes saltier when eaten from a knife, and denser and more expensive from a light plastic spoon. Taste was also affected by the color of the cutlery.  |
| Sailors most often injure their knees -- on land Posted: 26 Jun 2013 08:33 AM PDT The knees are the body part that is injured the most by dinghy sailors. The injuries are primarily due to overstrain and most often occur during physical training, according to a study by researchers in Sweden.  |
| Realistic robot carp created: First robot fish with autonomous 3-D movement in Asia Posted: 26 Jun 2013 08:30 AM PDT Scientists have developed a robot fish that mimics the movements of a carp. This robot which is essentially an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is ready for applications, as it can be programmed to perform specific functions, for example, for underwater archaeology such as exploring nooks and corners of wreckage -- or sunken city which are difficult for divers or traditional AUVs to access. Other applications include military activities, pipeline leakage detection, and the laying of communication cable.  |
