| Battery-free Game Boy runs forever Posted: 03 Sep 2020 02:14 PM PDT Researchers develop first-ever battery-free, energy-harvesting, interactive device. And it looks and feels like a retro 8-bit Nintendo Game Boy. |
| In butterfly battle of sexes, males deploy 'chastity belts' but females fight back Posted: 03 Sep 2020 12:55 PM PDT Some male butterflies seal their mate's genitalia with a waxy 'chastity belt' to prevent future liaisons. But female butterflies can fight back. Could this sexual one-upmanship ultimately result in new species? |
| Peculiar planetary system architecture around three Orion stars explained Posted: 03 Sep 2020 11:50 AM PDT In our Solar System, the eight planets and many other minor objects orbit in a flat plane around the Sun; but in some distant systems, planets orbit on an incline -- sometimes a very steep one. New work could explain the architecture of multi-star systems in which planets are separated by wide gaps and do not orbit on the same plane as their host star's equatorial center. |
| Hearing loss in naked mole-rats is an advantage, not a hardship Posted: 03 Sep 2020 11:50 AM PDT With six mutations in genes associated with hearing, naked mole-rats can barely hear the constant squeaking they use to communicate with one another. This hearing loss, which is strange for such social, vocal animals, is an adaptive, beneficial trait, according to new findings. |
| New species of freshwater crustacea found in the hottest place on Earth Posted: 03 Sep 2020 06:56 AM PDT A new species of freshwater Crustacea has been discovered during an expedition of the desert Lut, known as the hottest place on Earth. |
| True size of prehistoric mega-shark finally revealed Posted: 03 Sep 2020 06:56 AM PDT A new study has revealed the size of the legendary giant shark Megalodon, including fins that are as large as an adult human. |
