I can't believe July is almost over. Then again, the Fourth of July weekend already seems distant. Such are the joys of a middle-aged memory. Anyway, here are some interesting science news articles from this week:
The world's first "printed" aircraft
Researchers turn on, then turn off, social awkwardness in mice
Material created at Purdue lets electrons "dance" and form new state
Bionic microrobot mimics the "water strider" and walks on water
New invisibility cloak hides objects from human's view
Researchers graft smell receptors onto nanotubes
Scientists discover tipping point for the spread of ideas
Enjoy your weekend, everyone!
Can they turn off the social awkwardness in humans?
