| Wolves, dogs and dingoes, oh my Posted: 17 Feb 2021 02:51 PM PST Dogs are generally considered the first domesticated animal, while its ancestor is generally considered to be the wolf, but where the Australian dingo fits into this framework is still debated, according to a retired anthropologist. |
| Edible holograms could someday decorate foods Posted: 17 Feb 2021 12:11 PM PST Holograms are everywhere, from driver's licenses to credit cards to product packaging. And now, edible holograms could someday enhance foods. Researchers have developed a laser-based method to print nanostructured holograms on dried corn syrup films. The edible holograms could also be used to ensure food safety, label a product or indicate sugar content, the researchers say. |
| Toward a disease-sniffing device that rivals a dog's nose Posted: 17 Feb 2021 12:11 PM PST A new system can detect the chemical and microbial content of an air sample with even greater sensitivity than a dog's nose. Researchers coupled this to a machine-learning process that can identify the distinctive characteristics of the disease-bearing samples. |
| Lakes isolated beneath Antarctic ice could be more amenable to life than thought Posted: 17 Feb 2021 12:11 PM PST Lakes underneath the Antarctic ice sheet could be more hospitable than previously thought, allowing them to host more microbial life. |
| This robot doesn't need any electronics Posted: 17 Feb 2021 12:10 PM PST Engineers have created a four-legged soft robot that doesn't need any electronics to work. The robot only needs a constant source of pressurized air for all its functions, including its controls and locomotion systems. |
| Credit card-sized soft pumps power wearable artificial muscles Posted: 17 Feb 2021 12:10 PM PST Robotic clothing that is entirely soft and could help people to move more easily is a step closer to reality thanks to the development of a new flexible and lightweight power system for soft robotics. |
| Quantum collaboration gives new gravity to the mysteries of the universe Posted: 17 Feb 2021 12:10 PM PST Scientists have used cutting-edge research in quantum computation and quantum technology to pioneer a radical new approach to determining how our Universe works at its most fundamental level. |
| Posted: 17 Feb 2021 08:54 AM PST An international research team has developed a new method for directly imaging smaller planets in the habitable zone of a neighboring star system. This opens up new possibilities in the search for extraterrestrial life. |
