New ocean sanctuaries house young coral and even flee peril

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

Columbus, Ohio — Preserving threatened coral reefs is no longer enough. Now, we must help build new ones, say Ja Young Kim, 17, and Jiho Kong, 19. They’ve just designed one new option: robotic nurseries to attract and nurture baby corals. These modular units start as floating, hexagon-shaped cells. Once deployed in the water, they can link together to make large ocean habitats. These apartment-like structures even monitor for potential dangers. …Read Article

Research without lab animals? New tech is making it possible

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

Animals have long been a big part of science. Frogs helped researchers discover how cells communicate. Pig studies helped pave the way to the CT scan, a now common diagnostic tool. Cats, frogs and birds were all used to learn how nerve signals travel. Researchers use millions of animals in the United States alone. Many of these critters are used in what’s called basic science — learning about how life works. Animals also help test the safety of …Animals · Mississippi See the Story

The ‘bone collector’ caterpillar wears its prey as camouflage

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

A severed ant head. A fly wing. A beetle abdomen. These body parts ripped from dead insects adorn a caterpillar’s protective coat. That’s why scientists are calling this newfound species the “bone collector.” This caterpillar sports remains of prey as camouflage while it searches spider webs for trapped bugs. The meat-eating caterpillar was found on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. It is the first known by scientists not only to live in spider hunti…Hawaii · Hawaii Read Article

A nebula's mysterious glow is fueled by a giant busted planet

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

A never-ending, X-ray explosion coming from a dead star has posed a mystery — until now. This steady radiation appears to come from scorching-hot wreckage left behind by the annihilation of a giant planet. The discovery stems from four decades of X-ray observations of the Helix Nebula. It lies some 650 light-years from Earth. The stream of X-rays has remained constant for at least 20 years. Now, scientists suggest a convincing explanation for wh…Mexico City, Mexico · Mexico City Read Article

You can ‘grab’ these virtual displays and manipulate them midair

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

In the Iron Man movies, Tony Stark’s lab is full of floating computer displays. With these midair graphics, he can see his super-suit designs in 3-D. He also can grab hold of the visuals and manipulate them. A new device brings such sci-fi graphics closer to reality. The device renders virtual 3-D objects in midair that users can drag, scale and rotate with their fingers. Such interactive visuals — which can be seen without a virtual reality (VR…Yokohama, Japan · Yokohama Read Article

Magnets Mimic Gravity’s Guiding Hand for Plants Growing in Space

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

Columbus, Ohio — Space-grown plants twist and coil as they seek to identify gravity. The instinct normally helps buried baby plants know which way to grow to find light. But seeds will waste precious energy if they spend too much time searching for the right direction. That’s what often happens in the microgravity aboard spacecraft. A trio of clever teens have now devised a new way to mimic gravity’s guidance: magnets. Emma Tillery studies how p…Columbus, Ohio · Columbus See the Story
