| Controversy over use of Roman ingots to investigate dark matter, neutrinos Posted: 29 Nov 2013 07:19 AM PST The properties of lead bricks recovered from ancient shipwrecks are ideal for experiments in particle physics. Scientists have begun to use them, but archaeologists have raised alarm about the destruction and trading of cultural heritage that lies behind this.  |
| The more the better: Polyandry in salamanders Posted: 29 Nov 2013 07:18 AM PST New research shows the impact of polyandry on reproductive success in fire salamanders.  |
| Telescope to track space junk using youth radio station Posted: 29 Nov 2013 07:18 AM PST A combination of pop songs, talkback radio and cutting-edge science has enabled Australian astronomers to identify a way to prevent catastrophic, multi-billion dollar space junk collisions, a new study has revealed.  |
| Electricity generated from weight of traffic and pedestrians Posted: 29 Nov 2013 07:17 AM PST New technology integrates a ramp-step (elaborated with polymeric material similar to the ones used in the manufacture of tires) that elevates to five centimeters above the level of the street. When receiving the impact of a vehicle, this ramp exerts pressure on a set of bellows below. The bellows contain air that is expelled at a certain pressure through a hose; later, this element travels to a tank where it is compressed and relaunched to an electricity generating turbine.  |
| Bone grafting improvements with help of sea coral Posted: 28 Nov 2013 09:59 PM PST Sea coral could soon be used more extensively in bone grafting procedures thanks to new research that has refined the material's properties and made it more compatible with natural bone.  |
