Do cycle lanes increase safety of cyclists from overtaking vehicles? Posted: 14 Oct 2014 05:38 AM PDT Cycling is well known to improve individual health and fitness; it also benefits the wider population in terms of economy, road congestion and environmental impact. However, despite benefits outweighing the risks by 20:1, many consider the risk too great and fear of perceived danger on the road needs to be tackled.

Scientists create new protein-based material with some nerve Posted: 14 Oct 2014 09:39 AM PDT Scientists have taken proteins from nerve cells and used them to create a 'smart' material that is extremely sensitive to its environment. The work could lead to new types of biological sensors, flow valves and controlled drug release systems, they report.

New light on the 'split peak' of alcohols Posted: 14 Oct 2014 08:27 AM PDT For scientists probing the electronic structure of materials using RIXS, a persistent question has been how to account for "split peak" spectra seen in some hydrogen-bonded materials, but now researchers have performed an investigation of several types of liquid alcohols with RIXS and brought new perspective to this long-lasting debate. Researchers now show that the split peaks are tied to dynamic motions produced in response to the scattering X-rays themselves.

New 3-D printer can use multiple materials, such as plastic or paste Posted: 14 Oct 2014 05:35 AM PDT Using different modules, the "3-D Modular" can print using several materials like plastic, paste or concrete.
