How do chameleons change colour? Why do pigeons bobtheir heads when they walk? How do railguns work? Can you freeze dry a body? What causes localised hair-loss? What's the best way to cool down beer? Why can people suddenly lose senses? Plus, an update on Ebola.

Hi all, I recently read this article ( newbielink:http://genev.unige.ch/en/headlines/83
[nonactive]
) about how chameleons change their colour and it says "that the changes take place via the active tuning of a lattice of nanocrystals present in a superficial layer of dermal cells called iridophores" and not via colour pigments. I understand that the research was published after this podcast, but as I read this article I remembered listening about chameleons here and thought I would comment about it. [
