Mayor Michael Guingona of Daly City, Calif., gets a little taste of what life was like in his parents native country - the Philippines - by walking down the streets of his neighborhood in the San Francisco suburb.Outside of Honolulu, Daly City is the largest city in the United States with a majority Asian population, says a Census Bureau report released Monday.California, New York and Hawaii are home to

You can make interesting stories in almost any local area out of the dramatic increase in the number of Asian Americans -- places where there were hardly an

Even Guingona, a Filipino born in San Francisco, is a little surprised about how things have grown.

Shark skin is famously sleek and dragless, the envy of swimsuit designers. Perhaps less famous is what shark skin oddly rough surface looks like up close: an eerie matrix of microscopic tooth-like scales. Now, scientists are 3D printing artificial shark skin in hopes of unlocking its swimming secrets. The 3D-printed shark skin above is the work of George Lauber and his team at Harvard, who started by scanning a piece of mako shark skin bought from the fish market. Then they spent a year tinkering with materials and protocols to recreate it in the lab. The final result is a flexible substrate embedded with th

stanley tumbler cles are 10 times bigger than in nature because of the machine limited resolution. Still, when Lauber and his team put the shark skin to test in the water, it worked. The printed skin was attached to a flexible foil that could flap like a swimming fish. At certain low speeds, the rough surface reduced drag by up to 8.7 percent compared to a perfectly smooth surface. That seems counterintuitive, doesn ;t it鈥攖hat a rough surface would produce less drag than a smooth one These denticles are shaped to channel water, preventing tiny eddies that ordinary slow down even smooth surfaces. With a 3D printer, the researchers hope to tweak the shape and spacing of the denticles鈥攆or example, optimizing
