| How ants investigate the housing market when searching for their ideal home Posted: 01 Oct 2013 04:20 PM PDT An immediate and chronic concern for many of us is how the housing market influences the whole economy: surprisingly ants also have issues over the value of new homes, researchers from the University of Bristol have found.  |
| Scientist sniffs out possible new tick species Posted: 01 Oct 2013 04:15 PM PDT Kibale National Park is an almost 500-square-mile forest in western Uganda. Here scientists frequently study how infectious diseases spread and evolve in the wild. One scientist returned with a "stow-away" -- a new species of tick.  |
| Researchers propose new theory to explain seeds of life in asteroids Posted: 01 Oct 2013 12:11 PM PDT A new look at the early solar system introduces an alternative to a long-taught, but largely discredited, theory that seeks to explain how biomolecules were once able to form inside of asteroids.  |
| 'Walking droplets': Strange behavior of bouncing drops demonstrates pilot-wave dynamics in action Posted: 01 Oct 2013 11:12 AM PDT A research team recently discovered that it's possible to make a tiny fluid droplet levitate on the surface of a vibrating bath, walking or bouncing across, propelled by its own wave field. Surprisingly, these walking droplets exhibit certain features previously thought to be exclusive to the microscopic quantum realm. This finding of quantum-like behavior inspired a team of researchers to examine the dynamics of these walking droplets.  |
| Posted: 01 Oct 2013 07:45 AM PDT Older and younger people have varying preferences about what they would want a personal robot to look like. And they change their minds based on what the robot is supposed to do.  |
| Vikings may have been more social than savage Posted: 01 Oct 2013 06:13 AM PDT Academics have uncovered complex social networks within age-old Icelandic sagas, which challenge the stereotypical image of Vikings as unworldly, violent savages.  |
