| 'Temporal cloaking' could bring more secure optical communications Posted: 05 Jun 2013 04:05 PM PDT Researchers have demonstrated a method for "temporal cloaking" of optical communications, representing a potential tool to thwart would-be eavesdroppers and improve security for telecommunications.  |
| Over 120,000-year-old bone tumor in Neandertal specimen found Posted: 05 Jun 2013 04:01 PM PDT The first case of a bone tumor of the ribs in a Neanderthal specimen reveals that at least one Neanderthal suffered a cancer that is common in modern-day humans, according to new research.  |
| Posted: 05 Jun 2013 03:59 PM PDT Researchers have isolated a new population of primitive, stress-resistant human pluripotent stem cells easily derived from fat tissue that are able to differentiate into virtually every cell type in the human body without genetic modification.  |
| Where trash accumulates in the deep sea Posted: 05 Jun 2013 11:43 AM PDT Surprisingly large amounts of discarded trash end up in the ocean. Plastic bags, aluminum cans, and fishing debris not only clutter our beaches, but accumulate in open-ocean areas such as the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch." Now, new research shows that trash is also accumulating in the deep sea, particularly in Monterey Canyon.  |
| Life on Earth shockingly comes from out of this world Posted: 05 Jun 2013 11:43 AM PDT Early Earth was not very hospitable when it came to jump starting life. In fact, new research shows that life on Earth may have come from out of this world. Researchers have found that icy comets that crashed into Earth millions of years ago could have produced life building organic compounds, including the building blocks of proteins and nucleobases pairs of DNA and RNA.  |
| First observation of spin Hall effect in a quantum gas is step toward 'atomtronics' Posted: 05 Jun 2013 10:36 AM PDT Researchers have reported the first observation of the spin Hall effect in a Bose-Einstein condensate.  |
| Young star suggests our sun was a feisty toddler Posted: 05 Jun 2013 10:36 AM PDT If you had a time machine that could take you anywhere in the past, what time would you choose? Most people would probably pick the era of the dinosaurs in hopes of spotting a T. rex. But many astronomers would choose the period, four and a half billion years ago, that our solar system formed. New work suggests that our sun was both active and "feisty" in its infancy, growing in fits and starts while burping out bursts of X-rays.  |
| Tiny bubbles in your metallic glass may not be a cause for celebration Posted: 05 Jun 2013 10:00 AM PDT Bubbles in a champagne glass may add a festive fizz, but microscopic bubbles that form in metallic glass can signal serious trouble. That's why researchers used computer simulations to study how these bubbles form and expand.  |
| Sexual selection in the sea: The case of the peculiar southern bottletail squid Posted: 05 Jun 2013 06:05 AM PDT Biologists have uncovered new insights into how the male sexual behavior of the peculiar southern bottletail squid is primed to produce the greatest number of offspring. Recent studies have revealed the female squid ingest the ejaculates of their mates, a trait never before associated with any species of cephalopod -- a group including squid, octopus, cuttlefish and nautilus.  |
| Personality is the result of nurture, not nature, suggests study on birds Posted: 05 Jun 2013 06:05 AM PDT Personality is not inherited from birth parents says new research on zebra finches. External factors are likely to play a bigger part in developing the personality of an individual than the genes it inherits from its parents, suggests the study.  |
| Helicopter takes to the skies with the power of human thought Posted: 05 Jun 2013 06:02 AM PDT A remote controlled helicopter has been flown through a series of hoops around a college gymnasium in Minnesota. It sounds like your everyday student project; however, there is one caveat -- the helicopter was controlled using just the power of thought.  |
