Washington, Oct 10 : A UC (University of California) San Diego engineer has found that mimicking the movement of water snails could lead to new propulsion methods.
Eric Lauga, the engineer in question, has revealed a new mode of propulsion based on how water snails create ripples of slime to crawl upside down beneath the surface.
Washington, Oct 10 : A Northwestern University-led research team has identified a promising new material that could efficiently convert waste heat into electricity to help power cars and improve gas mileage.
The researchers discovered that adding two metals, antimony and lead, to the well-known semiconductor lead-telluride, produces a thermoelectric material that is more efficient at high temperatures than existing materials.
"We cannot explain this 100 percent, but it gives us a new mechanism - and probably new science - to focus on as we try to raise the efficiency of thermoelectrics," said Mercouri G. Kanatzidis, Charles E. and Emma H. Morrison Professor of Chemistry in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences.
Washington, Oct 10 (ANI): Using advanced dating techniques, scientists have determined that a trail of stone tools and fossil bones found in China, suggests that early humans left Africa 1.8 million years ago.
Over a million years ago, a band of early humans left their stone tools and two front teeth near a stream in southwest China.
For decades, the precise age of the fossils has remained a mystery, leaving open a central question in paleontology that how quickly did our human ancestors reach China after leaving Africa?
Now, thanks to advanced dating techniques, scientists may finally have the answer.
