These geodesic aquariums, inspired by Fuller's prototypes for sturdy lightweight structures, will be let loose in swirling ocean gyres,
where the leaders kept their stores of hummingbird and macaw feathers, the dominant currency. A year later
From dogs to cows, scientists rushed to clone a menagerie of animals using Wilmut's technique, known as somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT.
Its Firebird III concept car#haped like a jet fighter, with titanium tail fins and a glass-bubble cockpit#as designed to run on a test track embedded with an electrical cable,
they typically conjure up images of a tractor cresting a hill billowing large plumes of exhaust into the air.
#Harnessing The Power Of Peacocks To Make Colorful Images (ISNS)--The gloriously colored iridescent feathers of the male peacock aren't
because the feathers contain nanometer-scale protein structures that break up incoming light waves recombine and reflect them as rich vibrant colors.
That's because its iridescent feathers reflect different colors or wavelengths of light at different angles.
but also trap the light so that viewers can see the intended colors from all angles. The trick Guo said was to get light to enter grooves much smaller than the wavelengths of light.
Even in the first few weeks of a forest villager getting his smartphone he reported this trap designed to capture a live primate we think either a baboon
or a chimp and this trap had never been recorded before in Tanzania Pintea said. In the future Pintea hopes to use imagery of the region gathered over the years to track changes in the forests over time.
On closer inspection it seems to have intact wings and a tail. We got a plane!
There are rounded edges at the tail. But if it is a floatplane the only U S. airplane it could be would be amphibious.
He'd also detected a subtle distinction in the shape of the fuselage near the tail.
It also had flattened a beaver tail around the vertical stabilizer an aft cockpit machine gun and no wing armaments.
Dr. Yablokov found ONE MILLION deaths due to Chernobyl. 5. Dr. Wing found that lung cancers rose dramatically in people exposed to the Three Mile Island radiation plume. 6. Dr. Gould
@Addl The 2000 year old live animals you cite was from testing mollusk shells. The carbon in mollusk shells is dissolved from calcium carbonate in water.
Thus the measurement was an average of when the carbon formed not the age of the animal.
If that unassuming building on a street corner in Shoreditch is actually a trap for hundreds of tons of carbon imagine an entire city of Stadthauses.
It took an average of 590 days for camera traps to get an image of each individual tiger recorded.
The new PALM-based technique should allow enzyme cock tails to be matched optimally to the structural organizations of particular biomass substrates such as grass
Boal said prairie chickens for example are not very likely to use cotton fields to nest in or for lekking (places where males aggregate to try to attract females to mate with).
and can sometimes disappear from the trap. Baker then learned that Lakhtakia was able to replicate certain biological materials such as fly eyes and butterfly wings.
Early detection of the pest in traps such as ours can help in coordinating management strategies to slow its spread
In the same forests the team also placed traps configured with decoys bearing a 4000-volt charge to electrocute
and captured by the trap if the voltage was applied to the decoys. According to Domingue the light-scattering properties of the beetle's shell--which the team experimentally demonstrated using a white laser--made the nano-bioreplicated decoys more lifelike and therefore more attractive to males than the non-textured 3d printed decoy.
The researchers said their next step will be to further improve the traps to maximize their potential as part of an early detection tool for emerald ash borers.
or weeks until a trap might usually be checked said Baker. In addition the team has been investigating the use of the decoys to attract other insect species some
Hwang also considered metal oxide frameworks that trap carbon dioxide molecules but they had the unfortunate side effect of capturing the desired methane as well
One of the hot new ventures in Silicon valley is founded Nest Labs by Tony Fadell, a former Apple executive,
At the Nest offices in Palo alto, Calif.,there is a lot of talk of helping the planet, as well as the thrill of creating cool technology.
Matt Rogers, 28, a Nest cofounder, led a team of engineers at Apple that wrote software for ipods.
