| Tiny robots inspired by pine cones Posted: 22 Nov 2015 10:31 AM PST The future of bio-inspired engineering or robotics will greatly benefit from lessons learned from plants, according to a group of researchers. They will share details about how studying plants enabled them to create tiny robots powered exclusively by changes in humidity. |
| Strange quantum phenomenon achieved at room temperature in semiconductor wafers Posted: 20 Nov 2015 03:26 PM PST Researchers have demonstrated that macroscopic entanglement can be generated at room temperature and in a small magnetic field. |
| Quantum simulation: A better understanding of magnetism Posted: 20 Nov 2015 07:40 AM PST Physicists have used ultracold atoms to imitate the behavior of electrons in a solid. Researchers have devised a new way to study the phenomenon of magnetism. Using ultracold atoms at near absolute zero, they prepared a model that simulates the behavior of electrons in a solid, which enables the investigation of magnetic properties. |
| Researchers confirm 'realistic' answer to quantum network puzzle Posted: 20 Nov 2015 06:41 AM PST Scientists have discovered new evidence to support the development of scalable and secure high rate quantum networks. |
| European hospitals overlook every other person with HIV Posted: 20 Nov 2015 06:21 AM PST Many European hospitals fail to routinely test people who may be at risk of an HIV-infection, a new study reveals. If tests were more widely used in healthcare, fewer HIV-patients would go unnoticed, especially in Northern Europe. |
| Diabetes drug could be used to combat fatty liver disease, research shows Posted: 19 Nov 2015 06:17 PM PST Findings from a new study present the possibility of new therapies for patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, for which there is no current licensed treatment. The trial was the first of its type to look into the action of liraglutide in the treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. |
| Sensory illusion causes cells to self-destruct Posted: 19 Nov 2015 11:34 AM PST Magic tricks work because they take advantage of the brain's sensory assumptions, tricking audiences into seeing phantoms or overlooking sleights of hand. Now a team of researchers has discovered that even brainless single-celled yeast have sensory biases that can be hacked by a carefully engineered illusion, a finding that could be used to develop new approaches to fighting diseases such as cancer. |
