Orangutans spontaneously bend straight wires into hooks to fish for food

Cognitive biologists and comparative psychologists have just studied hook tool making in a non-human primate species -- the orangutan. To the researchers' surprise the apes spontaneously manufactured hook tools out of straight wire within the very first trial and in a second task unbent curved wire to make a straight tool. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181108111756.htm

Metallic nanocatalysts imitate the structure of enzymes

An international team of researchers has transferred certain structural characteristics of natural enzymes, which ensure particularly high catalytic activity, to metallic nanoparticles. The desired chemical reaction thus did not take place at the particle surface as usual, but in channels inside the metal particles -- and with three times higher catalytic activity. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181108110029.htm

Scientists shuffle the deck to create materials with new quantum behaviors

Layered transition metal dichalcogenides or TMDCs -- materials composed of metal nanolayers sandwiched between two other layers of chalcogens -- have become extremely attractive to the research community. Similar to graphene, they not only retain some of the unique properties of the bulk material, but also demonstrate direct-gap semiconducting behavior, excellent electrocatalytic activity and unique quantum phenomena such as charge density waves. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181107172911.htm

When quantum particles swirl about, they still obey universal laws

Remarkable rules have been detected in the apparent chaos of disequilibrium processes. Different systems behave identically in many ways, if they belong to the same 'universality class'. This means that experiments can be carried out with quantum systems that are easy to handle, in order to obtain precise information about other systems that cannot be directly studied in the experiment -- such as the Big Bang. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181107133824.htm

Machine-learning algorithm predicts how cells repair broken DNA

By creating a machine-learning algorithm that predicts how human and mouse cells respond to CRISPR-induced breaks in DNA, a team of researchers discovered that cells often repair broken genes in ways that are precise and predictable, sometimes even returning mutated genes back to their healthy version. In addition, the researchers put this predictive power to the test and successfully corrected mutations in cells taken from patients with one of two rare genetic disorders. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181107133817.htm
