| 'Self-aware' materials build the foundation for living structures Posted: 01 Jun 2021 12:20 PM PDT New research describes a new metamaterial system that acts as its own sensor, recording and relaying important information about the pressure and stresses on its structure. The so-called 'self-aware metamaterial' generates its own power and can be used for a wide array of sensing and monitoring applications. |
| Revealing the mysteries of stonefish venom Posted: 01 Jun 2021 10:58 AM PDT Scientists working to unlock the mysteries Australia's deadly stonefish have made a discovery which could change how sting victims are treated in the future. |
| Turbulence in interstellar gas clouds reveals multi-fractal structures Posted: 01 Jun 2021 10:57 AM PDT Astronomers describe the complex structure of the interstellar medium using a new mathematical method. The dispersion of interstellar turbulence in gas clouds before star formation unfolds in a cosmically small space. |
| Taking a bite out of tooth evolution: Frogs have lost teeth more than 20 times Posted: 01 Jun 2021 10:57 AM PDT Researchers analyzed CT scans of nearly every living amphibian genus to reveal that frogs have lost teeth over 20 times during their evolution, more than any other vertebrate group. |
| 'Electronic nose' accurately sniffs out hard-to-detect cancers Posted: 01 Jun 2021 09:17 AM PDT An odor-based test that sniffs out vapors emanating from blood samples was able to distinguish between benign and pancreatic and ovarian cancer cells with up to 95% accuracy. |
| Duetting songbirds 'mute' the musical mind of their partner to stay in sync Posted: 31 May 2021 12:32 PM PDT Researchers say that the auditory feedback exchanged between wrens during their opera-like duets momentarily inhibits motor circuits used for singing in the listening partner, which helps link the pair's brains and coordinate turn-taking for a seemingly telepathic performance. The study also offers fresh insight into how humans and other cooperative animals use sensory cues to act in concert with one another. |
