Programmable structures from the printer
Researchers at the University of Freiburg and the University of Stuttgart have developed a new process for producing movable, self-adjusting materials systems with standard 3D printers. These systems can undergo complex shape changes, contracting and.....»»
A new quantum approach to solve electronic structures of complex materials
If you know the atoms that compose a particular molecule or solid material, the interactions between those atoms can be determined computationally, by solving quantum mechanical equations—at least, if the molecule is small and simple. However, solv.....»»
Scientists turned monkey stem cells into “synthetic embryos”

Newly synthesized organic molecules can be tuned to emit different colors depending on their molecular structures in crystal form......»»
Scientists Turned Monkey Stem Cells Into ‘Synthetic Embryos’
For the first time, researchers transferred them to the wombs of female monkeys, where the embryo-like structures produced a response similar to pregnancy......»»
Sex, power and colonialism: "Marriages and sexuality were fundamental to colonial power"
Sex and power are closely linked, and this was certainly true in the former Dutch colonies. Ph.D. student Sophie Rose has investigated how sexual and love relationships influenced eighteenth-century power structures there. "You can see that there was.....»»
Low sulfide concentration in Mercury"s smooth plains inhibits geomorphic hollows
A probe on Mercury used for the purpose of "surface-space-environment-geochemistry-and-ranging" abbreviated as the MESSENGER mission to Mercury, resulted in the discovery of geological structures known as hollows. Such landforms are quintessentially.....»»
Using green energy for electrochemical corrosion protection
Metal corrosion seriously affects the service life of marine steel structures. The traditional cathodic protection needs great consumption of energy and metal resources. Therefore, it's imperative to develop green and cost-effective energy sources fo.....»»
Sleight-of-hand magic trick only fools monkeys with opposable thumbs
By performing a famous magic trick for three species of monkey with differing hand structures, scientists have discovered that—in order to deceive—a conjuror needs a similar anatomy to their audience......»»
