| What tiny surfing robots teach us about surface tension Posted: 09 Oct 2020 01:24 PM PDT Propelled by chemical changes in surface tension, microrobots surfing across fluid interfaces lead researchers to new ideas. |
| Moles: Intersexual and genetically doped Posted: 08 Oct 2020 11:21 AM PDT Female moles not only have ovarian, but also testicular tissue that produces male sex hormones - which lets them diverge from the categorization into two sexes. A team describes which genetic modifications contribute to this singular development. |
| New species of aquatic mice discovered, cousins of one of the world's rarest mammals Posted: 08 Oct 2020 11:21 AM PDT Scientists have discovered two new species of 'stilt mice,' semi-aquatic African rodents with extra-long feet that they stand up on like a kangaroo. The mice wade in streams and dip their whiskers onto the water's surface to detect bugs to eat. The researchers also helped clarify these rodents' family tree, which includes a genus that's only ever been collected once, 93 years ago. |
| Researchers find 'missing link' between magnetars and rotation-powered pulsars Posted: 08 Oct 2020 07:42 AM PDT Researchers have made observations of a new magnetar, called Swift J1818.0-1607, which challenges current knowledge about two types of extreme stars, known as magnetars and pulsars. |
| Feline friendly? How to build rap-paw with your cat Posted: 07 Oct 2020 09:30 AM PDT A team of psychologists have discovered a new way for humans to bond with cats. |
