| Posted: 03 Sep 2013 04:41 PM PDT Scientists have discovered a groundbreaking technique in manufacturing nanostructures that has the potential to make electrical and optical devices smaller and better than ever before. A surprising low-tech tool of Scotch Magic tape ended up being one of the keys to the discovery.  |
| Computer model will help design flexible touchscreens Posted: 03 Sep 2013 11:13 AM PDT New research has shown a new a way to design transparent conductors using metal nanowires that could enable less expensive -- and flexible -- touchscreens.  |
| Soccer matches and concerts from any angle you choose Posted: 03 Sep 2013 08:30 AM PDT In future, soccer and music fans will be able to choose the camera angle when watching live matches and concerts on TV, or even enjoy a 360-degree view of proceedings: all thanks to a new panorama camera that is small, robust, and easy to operate.  |
| Canine remote control, using your smart phone? Hands-free dog walking for the digital age Posted: 03 Sep 2013 07:20 AM PDT That "best friend" can get a bit tiresome, all that rolling over, shaking paws, long walks and eating every crumb of food off the floor. But, what if there were a way to command your dog with a remote control, or even via your smart phone...or even without hands?  |
| Deep-sea squid with tentacle tips that 'swim' on their own Posted: 03 Sep 2013 06:16 AM PDT Many deep-sea animals such as anglerfish use parts of their body as lures to attract prey. Researchers have now described a deep-sea squid whose tentacle tips flap and flutter as if swimming on their own. The researchers hypothesize that the motion of these tentacle tips may induce small shrimp and other animals to approach within reach of the squid's arms.  |
| Common phobia you have never heard of: Fear of holes may stem from evolutionary survival response Posted: 03 Sep 2013 06:10 AM PDT Does the sight of soap bubbles, aerated chocolate or a lotus flower seed pod bring you out in a cold sweat and make you feel panicky? If so, you could be a sufferer of one of the most common phobias you have never heard of -- trypophobia, or the fear of holes.  |
