| Unknown currents in Southern Ocean have been observed with help of seals Posted: 26 Jun 2020 08:47 AM PDT Using state-of-the-art ocean robots and scientific sensors attached to seals, researchers have for the first time observed small and energetic ocean currents in the Southern Ocean. The currents are critical at controlling the amount of heat and carbon moving between the ocean and the atmosphere -- information vital for understanding our global climate and how it may change in the future. |
| Bizarre saber-tooth predator from South America was no saber-tooth cat Posted: 26 Jun 2020 06:27 AM PDT A new study has shown that not all saber-tooths were fearsome predators. |
| These muscle cells are guideposts to help regenerative flatworms grow back their eyes Posted: 25 Jun 2020 11:48 AM PDT If anything happens to the eyes of the tiny, freshwater-dwelling planarian Schmidtea mediterranea, they can grow them back within just a few days. New research provides insight about how the worms accomplish this feat: researchers have identified a new type of cell that likely serves as a guidepost to help route axons from the eyes to the brain as the worms complete the difficult task of regrowing their neural circuitry. |
| Super-Earths discovered orbiting nearby red dwarf Posted: 25 Jun 2020 11:48 AM PDT The nearest exoplanets to us provide the best opportunities for study, including searching for evidence of life outside the Solar System. Astronomers have now detected a system of super-Earth planets orbiting the nearby star Gliese 887, the brightest red dwarf star in the sky. The newly discovered super-Earths lie close to the red dwarf's habitable zone, where water can exist in liquid form. |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2020 09:27 AM PDT Paper wasps eavesdrop on fighting rivals to rapidly assess potential opponents without personal risk. This new finding adds to mounting evidence that even mini-brained insects have an impressive capacity to learn, remember and make social deductions about others. |
