| Terror bird's beak was worse than its bite: 'Terror bird' was probably a herbivore Posted: 29 Aug 2013 06:45 PM PDT Analysis of fossilized remains of the two meter tall terror bird (Gastornis) indicate that was unlikely to have been a carnivore.  |
| From cancer treatment to ion thruster: The newest little idea for nanosat micro rockets Posted: 29 Aug 2013 12:56 PM PDT The next generation of micro rockets could be built around a magnetic fluid that appears to defy gravity.  |
| 'Trojan' asteroids in far reaches of solar system more common than previously thought Posted: 29 Aug 2013 11:52 AM PDT Astronomers have discovered the first Trojan asteroid sharing the orbit of Uranus, and believe 2011 QF99 is part of a larger-than-expected population of transient objects temporarily trapped by the gravitational pull of the solar system's giant planets.  |
| Transparent artificial muscle plays music to prove a point Posted: 29 Aug 2013 11:50 AM PDT In a materials science laboratory, a transparent disk connected to a laptop fills the room with music —- it's the "Morning" prelude from Peer Gynt, played on an ionic speaker. No ordinary speaker, it consists of a thin sheet of rubber sandwiched between two layers of a saltwater gel, and it's as clear as a window.  |
| 'Mini human brains' created: Scientists grow human brain tissue in 3-D culture system Posted: 29 Aug 2013 06:35 AM PDT Complex human brain tissue has been successfully developed in a three-dimensional culture system. The method allows pluripotent stem cells to develop into cerebral organoids -- or "mini brains" -- that consist of several discrete brain regions.  |
| Echolocation for humans: Playing it by ear Posted: 29 Aug 2013 06:30 AM PDT Biologists have demonstrated that people can acquire the capacity for echolocation, although it does take time and work.  |
