The development of a method that would allow for metals to be used in 3D printing would open up a huge range of new possibilities, as the robustness and good thermal and electrical conductivity of metals lend well to a number of fields, such as microelectronics. A team from the University of Twente has developed a way to print 3D structures out of copper and gold, by using a pulsed laser to melt a thin film of metal and stacking the small droplets.
A recent study involving a Papua New Guinea tribe that practiced cannibalistic funeral customs sheds new light on prion-related conditions such as mad cow disease.
Tanzania's Serengeti National Park is home to one of the biggest and most complex ecosystem in the world. It's also one of the most spectacular, especially during the annual migration of two million wildebeests plus hundreds of thousands of gazelles and zebras - followed by their predators. After they placed no less than 225 camera traps, a group of researchers have collected a massive database of 1.2 million photos documenting the secret live of the animals that roam Tanzania's Serengeti National Park.
Around 80,000 people around the world answered a questionnaire that gauged what they valued most in life. Their responses were centralized and normalized by the OECD Better Life Index, and used to design an infographic. Labeled over each of the 180 countries, you can see what’s the dominant life priority of the population.
Daimler, the giant auto maker from Germany, is releasing its own version of a large-storage battery on the heel's of Tesla's heralded Powerwall. Branded under Mercedes-Benz, the battery pack is destined for both automobiles and home use. So far, a 2.5 kWh each version has been made public, with Deimler claiming it can be packaged in up to eight modules bringing the total capacity to 20kWh worth of energy - more than enough to power a typical home or even a small business.
Going by the pen (or rather, spray-can) name Wes21, Swiss artist Remo Lienhard covers walls and canvases in playful illustrations of both natural and mechanical wonder.His work pushes the boundaries of imagination and leaves you smiling in amusement as it shows ladybugs as awesome VTOL strike craft, Jupiter as a tasty treat and squashed helicopter-mosquitoes.
It's nothing new to hear about chimps or monkeys drinking alcohol, most often stolen from unsuspecting tourists, but a new research which documented the chimpanzees of Bossou, south-eastern Guinea, for the past 17 years found some engage in habitual drinking. It's the first evidence of habitual drinking outside humans. Like humans, some enjoy the brew more often than others, while some totally abstain from the habit.
