VOICE SEARCH: GOOGLE HAS NUMBERS ON WHO, WHY, WHERE
American teens are more likely to use voice search on their smartphones than are adults. About 55 percent of the 18-and-under crowd use Cortana, Google Voice Search or Siri more than once a day. While the majority of U.S. teens (55 percent) use hands-free search every day, the number goes up to 75 percent among teens who are heavy users of smartphones (using it 11-plus hours per day). Adults are, well, behind the teens but adults are certainly using voice search, with 41 percent talking to their phones every day.

RESEARCHERS FIND LEDS ATTRACT MORE FLYING INVERTEBRATES THAN CONVENTIONAL LIGHTING
A pair of researchers with the New Zealand research institute Scion, has found that flying invertebrates are more attracted to LED lights than to conventional outdoor lighting. In their paper published in the journal, Ecological Applications, Stephen Pawson and Martin Bader describe a simple study they carried out to see how attractive lighting was to flying bugs and what they found in doing so.

A BRIGHTER DESIGN EMERGES FOR LOW-COST, 'GREENER' LED LIGHT BULBS
The phase-out of traditional incandescent bulbs in the U.S. and elsewhere, as well as a growing interest in energy efficiency, has given LED lighting a sales boost. However, that trend could be short-lived as key materials known as rare earth elements become more expensive. Scientists have now designed new materials for making household LED bulbs without using these ingredients. They report their development in ACS' Journal of the American Chemical Society.

AIR UMBRELLA R&D EVOLVES AS SHIELD FROM PELTING RAIN
A Chinese R&D team have invented an Air Umbrella which can blast water away from the umbrella's owner. They explain how their invention deflects rain: "Air is everywhere on the earth. The flowing air can change the moving path of the object. The faster the air moves, the greater the energy is. The jet airflow can isolate some objects. So when we make use of the airflow, we can protect ourselves from the rain drops. Then the airflow forms an umbrella without a visible cover."
