| Aquatic playground can turn water tanks into fish schools Posted: 30 Jul 2013 04:35 PM PDT Raising fish in tanks that contain hiding places and other obstacles can make the fish both smarter and improve their chances of survival when they are released into the wild, according to scientists.  |
| Posted: 30 Jul 2013 09:32 AM PDT Electronic touch pads that cost just a few dollars and solar cells that cost the same as roof shingles are one step closer to reality today.  |
| Full body illusion is associated with a drop in skin temperature Posted: 30 Jul 2013 09:32 AM PDT Researchers used virtual reality technology with a specialized robotic system to test what happens when the mind is tricked into identifying with another body.  |
| Second known case of patient developing synesthesia after brain injury Posted: 30 Jul 2013 07:17 AM PDT A Toronto man is only the second known person to have acquired synesthesia as a result of a brain injury, in this case a stroke. About nine months after suffering a stroke, the patient noticed that words written in a certain shade of blue evoked a strong feeling of disgust. Yellow was only slightly better. Raspberries, which he never used to eat very often, now tasted like blue -- and blue tasted like raspberries.  |
| Station astronauts remotely control planetary rover from space Posted: 30 Jul 2013 06:15 AM PDT On June 17 and July 26, NASA tested the Surface Telerobotics exploration concept, in which an astronaut in an orbiting spacecraft remotely operates a robot on a planetary surface.  |
| Beam me up, Scotty! Would teleporting humans into space be possible? Posted: 30 Jul 2013 06:11 AM PDT In the science fiction show, Star Trek, teleportation is a regular and significant feature. But how much time and power is required to send the data needed to teleport a human being?  |
| Suburban sprawl to power cities of the future Posted: 30 Jul 2013 06:11 AM PDT A city's suburbs could hold the solution to dwindling fuel supplies by producing enough energy to power residents' cars and even top up power resources, pioneering new research has found.  |
