| Swirls in remnants of Big Bang may hold clues to universe's infancy Posted: 13 Dec 2013 05:10 PM PST South Pole Telescope scientists have detected for the first time a subtle distortion in the oldest light in the universe, which may help reveal secrets about the earliest moments in the universe's formation.  |
| Engineers make strides toward artificial cartilage Posted: 13 Dec 2013 10:55 AM PST A research team has developed a better recipe for synthetic replacement cartilage in joints, calling for a newly designed durable hydrogel to be poured over a three-dimensional fabric "scaffold."  |
| Scientists improve human self-control through electrical brain stimulation Posted: 13 Dec 2013 06:49 AM PST If you have ever said or done the wrong thing at the wrong time, you should read this. Neuroscientists have successfully demonstrated a technique to enhance a form of self-control through a novel form of brain stimulation.  |
| Chimpanzees are rational, not conformists, researchers find Posted: 13 Dec 2013 06:49 AM PST Chimpanzees are sensitive to social influences but they maintain their own strategy to solve a problem rather than conform to what the majority of group members are doing. However, chimpanzees do change their strategy when they can obtain greater rewards, researchers found.  |
| Simple mathematical formula describes human struggles Posted: 12 Dec 2013 03:59 PM PST The world seems to be getting more complex every day -- some might say too complex. But what if every interaction, every potential conflict we have is really very simple and easy to understand? Mathematicians have found a mathematical formula demonstrating just that: the dynamics of every escalating conflict human beings find themselves in, from children who won't stop crying to international terrorism, can be explained rather easily.  |
| Can we turn unwanted carbon dioxide into electricity? Posted: 12 Dec 2013 03:59 PM PST Researchers are developing a new kind of geothermal power plant that will lock away unwanted carbon dioxide underground -- and use it as a tool to boost electric power generation by at least 10 times compared to existing geothermal energy approaches.  |
| Poverty influences children's early brain development Posted: 11 Dec 2013 03:37 PM PST Poverty may have direct implications for important, early steps in the development of the brain, saddling children of low-income families with slower rates of growth in two key brain structures, according to researchers.  |
| East Antarctica is sliding sideways: Ice loss on West Antarctica affecting mantle flow below Posted: 11 Dec 2013 10:24 AM PST It's official: East Antarctica is pushing West Antarctica around. Now that West Antarctica is losing weight -- that is, billions of tons of ice per year -- its softer mantle rock is being nudged westward by the harder mantle beneath East Antarctica. This movement is important for understanding current ice loss on the continent, and predicting future ice loss.  |
