| New method helps map species' genetic heritage Posted: 11 Dec 2014 11:24 AM PST Where did the songbird get its song? What branch of the bird family tree is closer to the flamingo -- the heron or the sparrow? These questions seem simple, but are actually difficult for geneticists to answer. A new, sophisticated technique called statistical binning can help researchers construct more accurate species trees detailing the lineage of genes and the relationships between species. |
| Interstellar mystery solved by supercomputer simulations Posted: 11 Dec 2014 08:56 AM PST An interstellar mystery of why stars form has been solved thanks to the most realistic supercomputer simulations of galaxies yet made. Theoretical astrophysicists found that stellar activity -- like supernova explosions or even just starlight -- plays a big part in the formation of other stars and the growth of galaxies. |
| Move over smart cities, the Internet of Things is off to the country Posted: 10 Dec 2014 05:06 AM PST Computer scientists are investigating how the Internet of Things could work in the countryside. |
