New Discoveries for 2012

MIT researchers develop high-temperature photonic crystals capable of efficiently converting heat to electricity, potentially allowing the creation of pocket-sized microreactors with ten times the efficiency and lifespan of current commercial batteries. As photonic crystals are already a relatively mature technology, the new invention could be commercialised in as little as two years.

A fly species, kept in complete darkness for 57 years (1,400 generations), showed genetic alterations that occurred as a result of environmental conditions, offering clear evidence of evolution.

British researchers identify key genes that "switch off" as the human body ages. These genes may be targeted by future

(ANIMAL DISCOVERY) VENEZUELA — It might look cute, but this cricket is certainly an insect you don’t want to be near. Last week, a film crew exploring a South American cave came across several new species, most notably this flesh-eating cricket. While the fact that these insects are blood thirsty certainly makes them intriguing, they also have the amazing ability to swim. And it doesn’t stop there. The unnamed cricket has adapted to its cave conditions by growing specialized palps for better senses and coordination in the dark. Read on for more about the amazing, intelligent species found in this single expedition. — Global Animal
