Cicadas to Swarm Again in 2013

Animals have developed a wide variety of defensive strategies to avoid being eaten by predators. Some of these techniques, such as camouflage, decrease the organism’s chance of being spotted by a predator. Others, such as aggregation, deter predators from attacking. The most dramatic of defenses is predator satiation, in which...

Artificial Skin that Feels

A team of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology recently developed a revolutionary form of nanowire technology that enables artificial surfaces to detect mechanical pressure at the same level of sensitivity as would a human finger. Previous attempts to create an artificial sense of touch have relied largely on...
