| Beyond sci-fi: Manipulating liquid metals without contact Posted: 07 Feb 2022 02:29 PM PST Research inspired by Terminator 2's shape-shifting, liquid metal robot sees liquid-metal electrical conductors manipulated in mid-air without contact. The liquid wires can be controlled to move in any direction, and manipulated into unique, levitated shapes such as loops and squares using a small 'triggering' voltage and a magnet. The new technology has potential application in advanced manufacturing and dynamic electronic structures, augmenting other non-contact manipulation technologies such as acoustics or optical tweezers. |
| Chimpanzee mother seen applying an insect to a wound on her son Posted: 07 Feb 2022 08:26 AM PST Researchers have observed chimpanzees in Gabon, West Africa applying insects to their wounds and the wounds of others. Scientists describe this wound-tending behavior and argue that it is evidence that chimpanzees have the capacity for prosocial behaviors that have been linked with empathy in humans. |
| New research bites holes into theories about Megalodons Posted: 07 Feb 2022 05:34 AM PST A new study leaves large tooth marks in previous conclusions about the body shape of the Megalodon, one of the largest sharks that ever lived. |
| Biologists investigate smallest propeller on Earth Posted: 07 Feb 2022 05:34 AM PST Scientists have discovered new information about the tiny propellers used by single-cell organisms called archaea. |
| Venomous Australian sea anemone may lead to life-saving drugs Posted: 06 Feb 2022 12:44 PM PST An entirely new toxic compound found in an Australian tropical sea anemone is being analysed as a potential new drug therapy, after it was discovered by biomolecular scientists during investigation of the species' multiple venoms. |
